Vets have been taught that pets should only eat dry kibble because it is "balanced" just like we have been taught to eat a "balanced" diet via the pyramid. Who do you think sponsors all the vet education/seminars/freebies, etc.? True, but who else does any actual research on the subject? When my vet, who is fabulous with my animals and has taken wonderful care of them makes a recommendation, I have to give it more weight than my own feelings based on what I've read in a diet book for humans. Besides, the dog is obviously feeling much better these days, so I have to just go with it. Rebecca |

Well, I admit I do feed my dogs kibble, not that I necessarily feel it's the best thing for them, but because anything else I've ever tried has always given them major diarrhea, and frankly I can't live with that. With kibble they don't have a problem, and I pour a little meat and meat juice over the top for flavor, and they can handle that ok. You might look at http://www.oldmotherhubbard.com and see where you can find Wellness kibble and canned in your area. It has no corn, wheat, or rice in it, and meats without meat "by-products". My cats used to either throw up or get diarrhea from anything other than Science Diet dry, but they are doing great on the Wellness canned since LeMieux became diabetic, and my new vet feeds Wellness dry to her own pets. -- jamie ) "There's a seeker born every minute." |
