My daughter sent me a link to that article a couple days ago. Time to start looking at a different food again. About 2 yrs ago I switched to Taste of the Wild from Costco’s Nutra Nuggets, mainly because Bear had super bad gas, but also because my daughter convinced me it’s way better. The gas went away.

Too bad Costco’s Nature’s Domain is on the list. That was what I first thought of switching to.

I guess this is the main problem with those brands and large dog breeds:

“Most of the dog foods listed are usually labeled “grain-free” and contain a large proportion of peas, lentils, legume seeds or potatoes, according to the report. Many of the dogs researched in the investigation did not have a genetic predisposition to the condition, the F.D.A. said.”

That's messed up, those are some of the more expensive "healthy" foods. I'll have to show this to my sister, she feeds her bulldogs some of those. I get cheap dog food but mine mostly eat raw venison. Some of my neighbors feed raw chicken because dogs don't leave big shit piles of filler eating natural foods.

Used to try the expensive brands. Taste of the Wild. Pro science puppy kibble. They prefer the cheap stuff. and natural/ healthy people food combo

Back in the day dad would check what brand had the most "ash" content. Guess they quit doing that.

Kind of got a new dog but need a good camera. He was free. Part Border collie part something. Funny bastard. Just starting to mature. Haven't had him in water or out in the field yet. He's a certified babe magnet.

Annie feeds her six little dogs Orijen. The reduction in fecal volume means she's effectively cleaning up after only three. Win.

Roxy made it through her first 4th without much drama. She isn't gun shy, the pops didn't bother her, she just looked at me for reassurance. The neighbors lit a fountain that does the crackle thing and she pulled out her big girl bark, she rarely barks. She could see it through the front window so the bright lights were a bit scary, but she never shook or anything. She just leaned up against my leg and was more curious than anything.

This diet has served us well. It is a pain to start but easy once you get going. You have to ween them off dry food slowly over 3 months. When we switched our dogs never had ear problems again, although our dogs don’t do as good on red meat. Turkey, chicken and fish seems to be the best. We generally use chicken feet for bones they love em and their cheap

Thanks! When I get done with my plumbing frenzy I'm going to get serious and do this.
