Thor CGC God of Thunder     Barked: Thu Nov 15, '12 4:06pm PST  I need food suggestions for my boy. Here is what I am looking for: -No chicken or chicken meal. Thor doesn't do well on chicken based dog foods. -No canola oil -No grains or low grains (NO CORN!) -Under 45 for a 30 lb or larger bag I am wondering what my options are for feeding. He has been on nutrisource grain-free but it is a bit out of our price range at the moment. Thanks! my posts | my page | msg me | gift me | become pals [notify]

Next closest would probably be Taste of the Wild, also with canola. If you're willing to give up the grain-free, AvoDerm makes a lamb/rice line without chicken or canola oil that's usually under $45. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Ginger 968251     Barked: Fri Nov 16, '12 10:12am PST  You might try looking at Horizon Legacy Fish Formula. It is grain free and doesn't contain any chicken. It is a very good food made by a small Canadian company that manufactures their own foods using locally sourced ingredients. If you can't find a retailer in your area, you can check online. I think petflow.com sells it. Others may too. Where I buy my food, it runs $21.99 for an 8.8 lb bag.

Barney,- friend of- Lennox Bad to the Bone     Barked: Fri Nov 16, '12 1:34pm PST  I know you wanted to avoid grains...but would you consider one that uses brown rice and rolled oats instead of corn or white rice? http://www.nutro.com/natural-dog-food/natural-choice-dog-fo od/dry/sensitive-skin-and-stomach-venison-rice.aspx Cindy put me on this formula when we learned I was allergic to Lamb...it does not have canola oil. I thought it was yummy myself and my coat did really well on it and my tummy too... It might be near the top of your price range, but you can get coupons on the nutro website at www.nutro.com "my nutro rewards." Our local Petco's frequently have the Natural Choice on sale too...so if you can catch a sale and use the coupon you can really save $$$. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Indy Can I get a- belly rub?     Barked: Fri Nov 16, '12 8:40pm PST  you can try nutri-source, depends where you buy it, it's around $45-47 for a large bag (feed stores tend to have lower prices), Indy is eating the lamb formula now and seems to be doing well on it.

Thor CGC God of Thunder     Barked: Sat Nov 17, '12 12:47pm PST  Nutrisource is what he has been eating. I will probably keep him on that. my posts | my page | msg me | gift me | become pals [notify]

Tuna "Small fish with- tons of fight"     Barked: Sat Nov 17, '12 9:11pm PST  Truthfully there are so many new fad diets out there it's hard to know which to trust for your dog, best bet is to call your vet tell them the situation and they should have some good tips on which foods to buy. You can even ask the ban field people in Petsmart( ask the ban field techs or dr NOT the store employees!! when in doubt though i always go Hills. By suggestion of every vet I know. Good luck my posts | my page | msg me | gift me | become pals [notify]

Thor CGC God of Thunder     Barked: Sat Nov 17, '12 9:25pm PST  I am in school to be a vet tech. The only reason that vets say to feed hills is because they are PAID to push the food, not because it is good for the dog. Hills is corn and by-products. It is one of the lower quality foods on the market. my posts | my page | msg me | gift me | become pals [notify]
