Both Stella & Chewy’s Wild Red Raw Mix and Open Farm Raw Mix are solid choices. If you prioritize protein content, Stella & Chewy’s might be better. If you value sourcing and transparency, Open Farm is a great option. Ultimately, either choice should be a good supplement to your freeze-dried raw diet. Consider trying both to see which one your girl prefers and responds to best.

It sounds like you’re doing a great job caring for your GSD. It’s possible she might be getting bored with her food, or there could be a change in the formula. Calling Merrick to check on any recent changes is a good idea.

In the meantime, you could try adding some variety to her meals, like mixing in different flavors of the same brand or adding some fresh, dog-safe fruits and vegetables. If the pickiness continues, a visit to the vet might be a good idea to rule out any underlying issues.

It’s good that you’re considering your Pom’s diet carefully. While Raised Right Puppy food has high protein content, many experts suggest that excess protein is typically eliminated through urine and shouldn’t harm your puppy. However, toy breeds can sometimes have more sensitive stomachs. If you prefer fresh food, you might start with Raised Right and monitor your pup’s digestion and overall health. Consulting with your vet for personalized advice is also recommended. Other owners of toy breeds may have positive experiences with Raised Right, but every dog is unique.

Hello! I haven’t tried Badlands Ranch Superfood Complete, but it does seem to have high-quality ingredients. I recommend checking online reviews and consulting with your vet to see if it suits your Labradoodle’s dietary needs. It’s always good to transition slowly to any new food to avoid digestive issues.

It sounds like you had a detailed chat with Purina about the acquisition of MERRICK and Whole Earth Farms. Based on what you’ve shared, it seems that MERRICK will maintain its ingredients and operate independently under Purina, which should help them expand globally. If the reports on the Purina website confirm this, it sounds promising.

As for MERRICK and Whole Earth Farms (WEF), they should be fine if they continue to uphold their quality standards. The acquisition by a larger company like Purina could provide more resources for growth and development without compromising the brand’s integrity. However, it’s always good to keep an eye on any changes in the product to ensure it meets your expectations.

Hi there,

It’s great to hear you’re committed to feeding your dog a raw diet! Here’s a few suggestions for your superfood mix and probiotics:

1. pHresh Greens Raw Alkalizing Superfood: If it contains safe ingredients for dogs, it could be a good addition. Always double-check for any ingredients that might be harmful to dogs.
2. Probiotics: Both kefir and yogurt are excellent choices for probiotics. Farmer’s market options are typically fresher and contain fewer additives, but store-bought can be just as effective if they are plain and unsweetened.

Your current diet plan looks balanced. Just ensure to monitor your dog’s health and energy levels, and consult with a vet or a pet nutritionist to confirm the diet meets all his nutritional needs.

[Ramesh Kumar]

I recommend seeking a board-certified veterinary nutritionist to create a balanced homemade diet for your Alaskan Malamute. You can find a reputable professional through the American College of Veterinary Nutrition (ACVN) website. They can provide science-based guidance tailored to your dog’s specific health needs.
