new food options

[vinnie]

Right now I feed earthborn meadow feast and would recommend it to anyone good product my dog likes it coat looks good and no itching or anything , but I wanna try a switch only because she has always had soft stool not puddles but pretty soft. so out of these which would you choose Hi Teks naturals lamb, totw sierra or blue buff freedom lamb. I liked that the totw didn't have any chicken mixed in but the calcium level was a bit high 1.6 I believe and I know it comes from diamond. Any suggestions would be great trying to keep in same price range.

Bella will be 7 months soon and has had same food since about 11 weeks

A few forum members feed TOTW with no issues but as you said, it's made by Diamond. I've never heard of Hi Teks. Have you thought about switching to a different flavor and remaining with the Earthborn brand?

Check dogfoodadvisor.com for dog food ratings and customer feedback.

Once you decide to change, you may want to reset Bella's system by feeding her boiled white rice with boiled meat, i.e. hamburger, chicken or turkey and add some pumpkin (not the pie filling) for about 4-5 days since she's had soft stool on the current food.

I'm not a fan of Blue Buffalo. If you do a Google search once you get off the first page of listings you will find a lot of people who have problems with it.

My two are on TOTW Sierra Mountain and have never had any issues with it.

I have Sadie on TOTW Puppy. It is an all life stages food and the calcium and phosphorus levels are appropriate for a growing mastiff.

You already know Major is on Blue Buffalo. We thought he was allergic to chicken, but turns out he was not and his little bumps turned out to probably just be a reaction to something we haven't figured out. We tried him out on the whitefish and his stools were loose. Put him back on the large breed grain free chicken and since you were last here....(with the spoon of pumpkin) all of his stools are normal and he seems very happy. ***Note I have read so many positives and negatives of just about every dog food out there. Seems to be like its a guessing game...same as deciding on what kind of formula to buy for a baby for those who aren't breastfeeding.

Yes, choosing the right dog food is a crap shoot. You just have to go with what works for the dog and for you. You will go crazy reading all the pros and cons of dog food brands.
