Designer Dog Blogs

I was doing some research today about the food I was feeding my dogs, Nature's Receipe - Toy Breed. When they were puppies we had some trouble choosing a food to give them after their puppy food that agreed with their sensitive stomachs. I found this online and heard it was a good food. We have been feeding it to them for two years without any problem.

Then today I was doing some reading at work (shhhhh... don't tell my boss :) about dog foods and what is good and what is bad. I thougt Nature's Receipe was good as I have always heard/read that you should have meat as the first ingredient which it did, Chicken was listed first but then I read farther and it had by-products listed as third. I have read some mixed reviews when it comes to by-products.

Anyways, I have decided to switch them to Wellness Small Breed. I bought some on my way home from work today and mixed in a little with their current food. Lacey was picking out the new food and spitting the old food on the floor. I guess that means she likes it :) Luckliy, Logan is a boy and will eat anything and he picked it up and ate it.

I have a little left of their old food to continue mixing over the rest of the week and hopefully the new food will agree with them as I really want to feed them the best. Unfortunately, I have three bags of the Nature's Receipe left as we stocked up when there was a sale. I am going to see if I can donate it to a shelter or something. I am sure the store won't take it back and I really hate to waste it.
