I want to get my puppy off of Proin. Does anyone know if cornsilk is good? She has spay incontinence.

[Whitney]

I started giving my dogs water Kefir and one of them is REALLY gassy now. Is it a transition or maybe just a phase she is going through?

[Whitney]

My dog kept loose stools on the Wellness and we have been changing ever since.

[Whitney]

Oh and can someone please tell me why Simply Nourish Grain Free isn’t on here?

[Whitney]

I have had trouble too with printing from my Mac. I can’t at all. So it must be a Mac thing.

[Whitney]

WELCOME!!

Hound Dog Mom,
Just wondering if you will have a new list out since the Kirklands has been reduced to 3 1/2 stars? And I have a question on Natural Life, It has Min Calcium 1.35% and the calories are 3456.88….so is that even starting too high to look at. I still am confused about the calcium to calories and believe me, I sat and looked at it for an hour or so the other day. 🙂 I think I want to know if there is a Max Calcium level on food that when we see it we just know that it’s too high. Like say 1.5 % or something like that. I know I am confusing you but it’s the only way I know to ask. Thank you!

I meant the grain free 4health is not made by Diamond like the regular. Sorry, I mis-spoke. What about Rachel Ray’s Grain Free? It has 1.1 calcium and 26 protein.

[Whitney]

I didn’t think that 4Health was Diamond…And I am looking into ordering online. Thank you all for your responses.

I was looking At Grandma Lucy’s Pureformance Freeze Dried…it has Chickpeas but I did not see any meat. Do the Chickpeas act as the protein? Never mind, I see the protein content from the Chickpeas BUT it also says to add you dogs favorite protein….I am a little confused. It’s the Pre-Mix.

Thanks for the info Betsy. I will ask the Vet and then look into it. That was very helpful! And April, I thought about that last night and was gonna look again today. I had looked before but then changed my mind because I thought I could deal with the “inconvenience” of driving 45 min. one way. Well I own a diesel truck and I am a homeschool Mom so we don’t have the extra money in the budget to drive to get dog food. Hence the Tractor Supply 4Health brand.I am trying to get Cal. level info on that. They are doing very well on the grain free as far as tummy goes but I am at Wal Mart more than I am Tractor Supply. That is why I wanted to try Pure Balance. They don’t list the Cal. on the bag either BUT I found a phone number. Oh, and what about the Phosphorus? Someone said that there should be certain levels of that along with Cal.? Just wondering.

[Whitney]

I found the list on the first page. I was feeding her Kirklands, it’s just a bit of a drive to Costco so I would really love to find something close and comparable. Thank you for your time.

[Whitney]

What should the calcium levels be? I can’t find that list.

[Whitney]

Thank you! We go to a Naturalist as a family and we eat our medicine so I will look into herbs for her. I just wasn’t sure what would be safe. You know, I hear slight clicking coming from her back end and I told the Vet and he said that it is probably just joints loose because she is growing and would check her at a year. So I will do the supplemental stuff until then. She is on Proin already at such a young age. They said there was no natural alternative. 🙁

[Whitney]

Anyone have an opinion on my previous post? 🙂

[Whitney]

Hi there! I have a Mastiff mix and I have been feeding 4 health grain free because the regular gave everyone gas. She has been doing fine but I want to switch to something more readily available. I bought Pure Balance today, the chicken formula. I was wondering if you think it’s still ok her being a large breed puppy and all? I know, or at least I think that I remember, that you said I should feed her an adult food so she doesn’t grow so fast and have joint issues. Just want you opinion 🙂 And she is having some aches and pains on occasion, in her hips. Should I give her some joint juice or something. Doggie aspirin?? Thank you!
