Questions
I must put my toy poodle on a hydrolized HA or Novel protein diet. She doesn’t like the Hydrolized food. I have the option of a novel protein diet. Do dogs like the alligator? I must find something that she will eat. Her life depends on it. Thankyou
- I actually bought both, first the hydrolyzed salmon kibble to ease her back out of the GI issues she was having and then introducing the novel/alligator kibble. she loved both and tolerated both perfectly, but i'm going to keep her on the alligator diet because it seems less "special" and something I can put my other dog on, as well. HE is suddenly pickier and doesn't attack it, but if I remove his bowl then at the next meal he scarfs it down, no problem. It seems to get him to eat as needed, rather than non-stop as he does with other foods. This one, he sometimes leaves a bit in the bowl, so he's full and good to go. And if he barely eats breakfast and it's dinner time, I just crumble on a piece of fruit or whatever and he attacks. So, bottom line, my sick and usually picky eater loves the alligator, and my usually not picky eater is more finicky with it but does like it. (keep in mind that he also got spoiled with the home-cooked food I was making for a couple of years due to the sickly picky dog, and now kibble might seem beneath him hahahha)

Hey guys, I’m slowly transitioning my dogs over to adult food but they are still getting their puppy food. Mia always has some kind of allergy so I was looking into getting BLUE Basics® Grain-Free Salmon & Potato Recipe For Adult Dogs but it doesn’t have any chicken or poultry by-product meals, corn, wheat, soy, dairy or eggs. Is that even healthy missing all of those food groups? Right now my dogs are on Blue buffalo freedom grain free.
Recently my vet suggested changing my Golden Doodles food from Blue Buffalo Freedom Chicken recipe to ZD Hills Prescription Diet due to reoccurring ear infections and licking of paws. She thought a digestive and allergy issue. Is there a comparable brand or food that may be a better fit? Although our Blue Buffalo is pricing, this price point for the ZD is not attainable for us to continue. She spoke of hydrolized protein being important but it's not economical either. Thank you!

Is Blue Buffalo life protection formula senior food OK for dogs with diabetes? It has chicken and brown rice...
What is a recommended dog food? My dog just turned one and she has developed a sensitive stomach to her blue buffalo food (chicken & brown rice). She was not a a fan of this food and often wouldn’t eat it. I was recommended by my vet to try Natural Balance LID, and her health has improved (no more puking or diarrhea) but she is never excited to eat it & often waits until later to finally eat breakfast. I have her on chicken & sweet potato. Should I try duck? Or fish? or a different brand?

What do you do for a Newfoundland mix puppy who is 20 pounds under weight, his vet wants him to be 80 something at his age but he is 61 pounds! I wanna feed him Royal Canin Giant Breed Puppy Food. (he’s more Newfoundland) plus it seems like Bear is having food allergies to chicken cause of itching and biting and scratching and was having more stools and or loose stools. Also his beard smells like mildew from him drinking water all the time ! Is it fungal?
My dog has recently developed an allergy to her blue buffalo food. I was recommended by my vet to switch her to Natural Balance LID. I bought her the chicken and sweet potato flavor, but she doesn’t seem to like it. She is never excited to eat anymore. I bought her the duck and potato flavor and it upset her stomach (I barely put any of the duck flavor in with her chicken). What do I do? I want her to enjoy her food but I feel bad changing her diet again since it always makes her sick.
