It’s not so much that high protein is “bad”. Dogs get most of their energy from proteins. If they are not active, they don’t burn off that energy and tend to put on a lot of weight. If your dogs are doing fine on a food with 30% protein, then I would stick with that. There isn’t really a need to go to a low protein food unless they put on weight from inactivity.
TheNaturalDogMemberLong story short, yes. IMO, some is always better than none when it comes to raw feeding/drinking. If you can’t get raw milk and the pups did well on pasteurized, well done.
TheNaturalDogMemberThe store I work for sells the Glacier Peaks tests. We have had amazing success helping allergy afflicted dogs and cats using the results of these tests. IMHO, saliva test or not, they are more accurate than vet testing and a fraction of the cost.
TheNaturalDogMemberIt’s been rebranded as Castor & Pollux Organix.

TheNaturalDogMember“Warning to all who check product barcodes, if the first number is not 0, it is not entirely produced in the USA. This barcode began with the number 8.”
This is not an accurate statement. The store that I work for has many items made in the USA that have barcodes stating with 8, or other numbers, and Chinese made items that have barcodes starting with 0.
TheNaturalDogMemberHere is a link to Earthborn’s feeding guidelines:
http://www.earthbornholisticpetfood.com/us/dog_formulas/puppy_vantage/feeding_guidelines.php
According to the chart, the puppy should be getting about 1.25-1.75 cups per day. Sometimes, puppies poop often because they don’t really get it all out every time. They get excited or distracted and just go a bit, 30 minutes later, they have to go out again.May 17, 2014 at 4:02 pm in reply to: feeding natures variety instinct, anything similar and cheaper? #41832 Report AbuseTheNaturalDogMemberI second Zignature. It is an absolutely fabulous food.
TheNaturalDogMemberHolistic Select does have a grain-free, poultry-free kibble. It is fish-based (salmon, anchovies, and sardines.)
TheNaturalDogMemberEvo kibble is marketed as the lowest carb kibble on the market. I know that there have been some recalls recently, but the company is claiming to have addressed the issues (per their website). It is also one of the highest protein kibbles on the market.
Side Note: I have no affiliation with Evo/Natura/P&G, just pointing out the GA of the food.
TheNaturalDogMemberThey also make Professional and have been known to make some of Natural Balance.

February 14, 2014 at 11:27 pm in reply to: Poultry/Grain Sensitive Pooping Too Much #33764 Report AbuseTheNaturalDogMemberTo be completely honest, I do not know exactly why pumpkin/sweet potatoes aid in digestion, just that they do. They will both stop loose stools and fix constipation. They don’t make much sense, but they are pretty awesome. Just add one or two tablespoons on top of your dog’s kibble.
February 14, 2014 at 6:21 pm in reply to: Poultry/Grain Sensitive Pooping Too Much #33748 Report AbuseTheNaturalDogMemberYou could try the Merrick Grain-Free line. Several of them are poultry-free. They are not too expensive. Merrick has also recently released a grain-free, poultry-free food under its more-affordable Whole Earth Farms line. I would recommend canned pumpkin or sweet potato to aid in the digestion, as well as pre- and pro-biotic (i.e. Healthy Essentials).

February 7, 2014 at 5:39 pm in reply to: Help with how to figure out how much to feed. #33363 Report AbuseTheNaturalDogMember5.8 oz.
February 7, 2014 at 1:59 pm in reply to: Why does my dog seem to choke on her food? #33352 Report AbuseTheNaturalDogMemberIt sounds like she may be eating too fast and it’s causing her to choke. You could try a slow-feed bowl.
