Questions
Can this handle large cats?
- It will as long as cat is not a big litter digger

I have a golden doodle he is 13 months 75 pounds- can he start eating adult food or do I keep him on puppy food
- You can begin to feed adult food after 12 months, just let him finish the puppy food and mix it with the adult food.

- This is with the plastic teeth. Ordered from Dr. Foster and Smith.

I have heard from a couple of pet stores locally that Littermaid is revamping their products due to many complaints. Are you aware of this?
- Nothing lasts forever. They have a warranty on their boxes. Because of the conveniences, I will prefer to buy the LitterMaid with the plastic teeth. I'm not rich. It's just so much nicer than digging around in the other regular boxes.
Helpful?
It says in the product write-up that Blue Buffalo is gluten free. Reading the ingredients, however, shows it has barley.
- Barley has gluten...It should be removed to be advertised as gluten free.

My 9 month old aussiedoodle is hungry all the time. I feed her earthborn puppy vantage the most I am supposed to feed her according to her age and weight. Should I change her food to a more protein filled food or just feed her more?

I have a 6 week old Staffordshire bull terrier puppy. The breeder said she was feeding him 2-3 times a day but didn’t say how much. We are trying to feed him 4 times a day (50g of his puppy meal 3X a day plus scrambled egg for a 4th meal. But he doesn’t eat all of the puppy meal , but all of the scrambled egg. Any advice?
Puppy been eating 1/2 his meals (normal meal consists of 1/3 cup kibble) over the last 3 days. Has had high activity including a 4 mile run one day, 2 mile walk another and 5 mile walk today. Been supplementing by placing portion of meal in challenge toy. Shows no signs of behavioral changes and remains very active/playful. Sleeping a bit more...but we expect that d/t his ^ activity. Should we be concerned about anything? Switching the puppy food (purina pro plan chick/rice) to dog food?
This question is for david elezbeth: Is 30-50% carbs an appropriate amount in dog food? I just started my dog on honest kitchen dehydrated dog food and these are the typical range in carbs. Is this to much? Also some reviewers have posted that their dog had more voluminous stool and went more frequently with bits of food still present in the stool. Is this normal? Chloe seems to be doing fine but I am noticing the bits of food in her stool. Is this ok to continue with this food?
