    Please- try Halo brand kibble, if you are giving kibble. No recalls EVER; USA-sourced, no GMO’s, no meat sourced from inhumane factory farms, profits go to help other animals in need.
    When I adopted my Husky 12 yrs ago, she had all sorts of GI issues…diarrhea, right and left. She had Giardia, which we treated….(make sure that your pup does not have this..) but, she would still react to the foods that I bought her- All organic, with high quality ingredients.
    She FINALLY stopped having GI ‘events’ when I switched her to the Halo Spot’s Stew (it used to be called) kibble. Not grain-free…either the Chicken or the Salmon basic kibble. NO ISSUES at all, in the 10 years following.
    I ALSO give my Husky a daily serving of human grade, cooked protein- either a can of wild caught salmon, sardines, or tuna in water. Occasionally some roasted turkey slices. I also feed her plenty of veggies, which she loves (frozen broccoli and green beans, and raw carrots..)
    I agree with Kimberly, that raw food diets are very risky in that there are recalls every other day for e-coli or salmonella or listeria outbreaks… Why go through that? Particularly with a vulnerable puppy…. Dogs have been bred, over thousands and thousands of years, to be omnivores. They are not still wolves out in the wild, and don’t have the protective antibodies for spoiled or rotted meat anymore. Can people be real, here?
    Anyway- best of luck to your baby! 🙂
    If in doubt, just ask…”Would I want to eat this?”.. (If its not on the list of human foods that are toxic to dogs…its a great way to gage safely for your dog. 🙂 )

    Whole Foods has Some Holes in Their Answers

    I, too, have been feeding Halo food to my Husky for years with great success. (NEVER a GI issue since switching over from other high quality brands.) I noticed the Whole Paws the other day at Whole Foods, and researched. (See above.)
    Yikes! Maybe we’ll skip it! :/
    When important questions (such as country of origin, do they use GMO’s, does their meal contain bone, etc..) are NOT answered by WF, you have to assume that their product is so inexpensive because they use cheap and/or questionable ingredients from countries like China. Just an assumption, but a valid one to make if no info is forthcoming. What is there to hide?
