Chicken Soup for the animal lover's soul.

July 13th, 2010 at 08:33 pm

I have been doing some research on dog food.

When I got my poodle, Holly, she was a very picky eater. I called her breeder and complained that she would not eat. He told me to give her something like, vienna sausages, but in the baby section instead. I hope you know what I am talking about. Finger foods for babies!

Well, that got her hooked on people food and she has not wanted dog food since. She has a very sensitive tummy and gets sick easily. We had to quit giving her people food completely.
She will eat the wet, pouch type of dog food IF she is in the "mood".

When I got the puppy, Molly, I was so happy to see that she will eat any kind of dry food.

I only give her a little of the wet, pouch food once a day. That is because I mix her eye medicine in it. (white dogs sometimes get tear stains under their eyes and I have found something that actually prevents it)

So, since she seems so healthy and eats well, I decided to put her on adult dry food; the best dog food that I could find.

After doing some research, I found a food that is called "Chicken soup for the animal lover's soul"
It's main ingredients are chicken, turkey, duck and vegetables, not chicken by products. It is considered one of the best.

I actually found it for sale at my Ace Hardware store. The smallest bag was 18 pounds for $24, but I think it will last her quite a while. I had a $5 off coupon from Ace, so that helped.
I will add the $5 plus my $3 pinecone check to the $20 challenge.

Prev. total $10,913.00
today 8.00
new total $10,921.00

    Buddy gets Science Diet for puppies. I don't think that's the best for him, but it is what the family who raised him fed him, and mom and stepdad just chose to continue it. Maybe once he's housetrained and on his way to being obedient, I can bring up the idea of changing his food. Smile

    You know, I've heard of nasty stories about what they actually put in dog food. Perhaps the cheap kind and not the premium kind, but still, it may actually be healthier that your doggie prefers baby food.

    They use chicken by products which include things like the beaks and the feathers!

    I'm not saying that we shouldn't be feeding our pets good food from a good source. BUT, remember dogs are scavangers and the things I've seen them eat...well you know what I mean..beaks and feathers are nothin'. Big Grin
