A question concerning canned dog food
My poodle had a lot of loose stool. Coming to this site someone suggested
Taste of the Wild, and I chose Wetlands. That worked very well. Now I am being
informed that this company has production problems and this canned food will
not be available indefinitely. Can anyone suggest a good replacement?
Thanks

They still make the food in their own kitchens rather than having those giant manufacturing plants make it which is where all those unsanitary conditions happen... those plants are just too big and handle way too many varieties and brands of food all made in the same vats.
Yoshi gets the grain free duck and sweet potato though they make the grain free in other flavors as well. He LOVES it, and he's picky about his food (though he thinks nothing of eating dirt, weeds, used gum someone spit out on the pavement, etc.). The kibble bits are really small, too, which is much better for their digestion whatever size the dog. His digestive system is so consistently perfect I'm envious. More than once I've wondered if I should pack it in eating any people food and join him in chowing every day on his dog food!
It's not cheap, but I'm pretty sure it's cheaper than Taste of the Wild by about $10 - $20. You won't find it in supermarkets or PetSmart, etc. Specialty dog/cat shops will carry it though. I always raise an eyebrow at any pet food that starts being sold in the big markets. Try to find a good Mom&Pop pet store since they'll be cheaper than the boutique type specialty stores. I found a great one fairly close to me... everything they sell is noticeably cheaper than the hoity-toity boutique shop that's closer. It's small, the floor is painted cement and a bit warped, but they have everything crammed in there somehow, the guy that works there is great and always automatically carries the bag of chow to my car and puts in the trunk without my having to ask, and he knows more about pet foods and which companies are still good and why and which ones such and why that he must study these things all night. I love that place.
Actually, I have to go again tomorrow for a new bag of chow, so I'll get to play with all the toys before loading up the goodies and getting on my way. I can't be the only one that "tests" all the toys in the dog store every time I go to buy a new bag of food. I know I already have more fun with those farting hedgehogs than Yoshi does (which is probably why we have three of them).
yeah.....
They never stop cracking me up. Anytime I see one I have to squeeze it to make the fart noise... and everyone in the vicinity looks up in horror. hahaha!
You can play them like a musical instrument... the loud short explosive fart noise or the long drawn out quieter fart noise... whatever fart noise is your pleasure.
Last time I went to that specialty shop for Yoshi's bag of food I noticed they had a HUGE farting hedgehog with little individual squeakers in its little feet and nose for added entertainment... of COURSE I had to get it. Yoshi likes to take a flying leap and land on top of it creating the super extra loud monster fart noise everyone on the street can surely hear. The only toy more fun than a farting hedgehog is a GIANT farting hedgehog!
He has a "sensitive stomach." And my kitten gets Wellness, was told that was the best for him. My vet usually makes recommendations, said it's the most important decision you can make for your pet.
