Lassie 1252186     Barked: Wed Jun 27, '12 2:22pm PST  I would definitely try going grain free. If you want to stick with the Solid Gold brand, try Barking at the Moon. However, it does contain pea protein as one of the food's main ingredients, which has a lower biological value than meat. I recommend Merrick's Before Grain, Wellness Core, and Organix Adult Dry Dog food (original formula.) Good luck! Btw, the others are right - eight cups is waaay too much. Try to stick with the feeding portions given on the bag. If you really think your dog is that hungry, try adding more fiber to her diet by supplementing her normal dog food with carrots, apples, or canned pumpkin.

Presley- Dillon People should- pet me more!     Barked: Thu Jun 28, '12 11:43am PST  I was feeding Presley TOTW before the recall & he was eating 4 cups a day, so yea your puppy was eating way more than the directions on my bag suggested. I feed Presley RAW now, and I will never go back to kibble. The transformation has been astonishing! Having said all of that, I think that if I were gna feed kibble again it would either be Orijen, Blue Buffalo, or Royal Canin... GOOD LUCK! my posts | my page | msg me | gift me | become pals [notify]

Kashmir- ♥ CGC Boxer Beach Bum     Barked: Thu Jun 28, '12 12:37pm PST  Thanks Presley. I figured until i do more research i shouldnt do raw just yet even though i would love to. Im going to keep her on the Solid Gold a little while longer and see how it goes. I guess i am trying to rush the results just a little, i need to learn they wont be over night. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Mulder Spooky Mulder     Barked: Thu Jun 28, '12 6:08pm PST  Yes, that's good. She may of just needed a little more time to transition to the new stuff. If they're small and well formed, then that's good! my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Ellie CGC Born to be Wild     Barked: Fri Jun 29, '12 7:13am PST  Mulder's already made some good points about a dog in a food transition change. It can take up to 6-7 weeks before a dog gets through a transition.- If the stool is firm and low volume, that's a very good sign. After the next bath, keep an eye on the coat, after a couple of months on the new food you should expect to see nice shine to the coat, less shedding, if the food's really agreeing with your dog. Other options to look at if you choose to change foods might be Ultra or Natural Choice Grain Free. You can research them here: http://www.nutro.com/natural-pet-food.aspx The rewards tab on that site has coupon info. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]
