 |  |  |  | Although we now know that Science Diet isn't the best quality food on the market, we've decided to leave our very healthy dogs alone regarding their food. We inquired on the food forums here, talked with the knowledgeable manager of the local pet store, & asked our vet. All said we could change to a brand known to be more nutritious, but since they are all doing so well - healthy, perfect weight, lots of energy, etc., why mess with success!?!?
All 3 dogs eat Science Diet kibble (Homer & Bobbi get the light version & Justy gets original - she's so much younger) for dinner. They each get 1/3 of a large can of Pedigree just for the taste & moistness with their dinner, too. We don't really count it as their main nutrition.
All 3 dogs also get an Old Mother Hubbard's large biscuit in the morning & after dinner (high nutrition, natural ingredients), & 3 baby carrots in the morning, too - keeps teeth clean. We also substitute thick pieces of dehydrated sweet potato for their after dinner teeth cleaning treat every couple of days. The sweet pototoes & the carrots have lots of vitamin A for the older eyes of 2 of the dogs plus are packed with anti-oxidants - very healthy.
We use Old Mother Hubbard's tiny biscuits for training/games treats. |  |  |  |  |
