Favorite Dog Food, says Caesar!

    I have to just share how much Caesar loves his Innova Evo wet dog food. It is a raw diet and 95% meat. I have a case of Venison, and give him 1 can a week as a treat after a long day of exercise at the dog park.

    I went to the feed store today to look for some type of training food for the new puppy that didnt have corn, rice, soy, or wheat in it and went with the Natural Balance, but I also found Innova Evo dry dog treats!

    Healthy treats! $8 for a good sized bag.

    And for Natural Balance, well I have never seen Caesar get so excited about his time to eat. He actually wiggles at attention for his food now! He eats the Duck and Potatoe dry, and the puppy will eat the canned version. This is a no preservative food that is sensitive without soy, rice, wheat or corn.

    Caesar was at the feed store with me and searching everywhere for the horses. Crazy farm smells in there, he was going nutz!

    I found a product by Natural Balance that is in tubes and can be cut like pepperoni. Turkey! Super food for sensitive stomachs…

    Please post your favorite foods here to share with other members!

    Mine love the Natural Balance rolls for training treats and it is great because you can cut it up into whatever size fits your dog. Other favorites around here are duck breast jerky, Wellness Well Bites and Pure Rewards are also favorites. The Well Bites are easy to tear into small pieces and the dogs love them. Zuke's are also popular and in nice small bite size, I have used these when I forget that I am out of Natural Balance and need something quick for class.

    I just started feeding Innova EVO about a month ago, I can not get over how wonderful Zahra's coat looks! I am hooked on this stuff, I have changed their food a lot trying to find something with no what and junk that they don't need and the Innova is great.

    The vet was pushing Royal Canin for Zahra but it made her coat look dull and I wasn't impressed with the ingredients like I am with the Innova EVO.

    The treats are great too.

    I need to try the wet food, I have only been using the dry.

    The wet Innova Evo food is super sloppy, but oh man, what a treat. I find that it may be a bit too rich to give daily, but after a long run or as a special treat it works gret!

    Mine love the Natural Balance rolls for training treats and it is great because you can cut it up into whatever size fits your dog.

    I didnt know what to call these. I bought them for the puppy to help with training. I wanted something that wouldnt create a lot of diahrea and was healthy for the little Cairo and soft. Can't wait to try it out. Any tips on how you prepare it? I was thinking I probably need to make some balls from it and put them aside for the potty training.

    I slice it and then cube it. Each cube ends up being no bigger than about a pea. I then have storage container that I put it in and keep it in the refrigerator. The great thing about it is that I can easily break the cube into even smaller pieces while I am working the dogs so they last the entire training class without really overfeeding the dogs.

    In your position, where you really have to take her out a lot, I understand. And I hope her comfort continues. My point was it is situational need, not dog need to be that social. :) I have a slim chance of that having worked with my current 2, but with my incredibly dog aggressive first one, I'd have been out in a basket muzzle and warning everyone to keep their dogs away.

    If the dogs are having similar symptoms as in the previous years, they need to be treated ASAP! It is my understanding that many are developing the acquired Fanconi Syndrome and need to be put on the protocol. Many vets though do not have the equipment to do the venous blood gas test and get an accurate diagnosis. Emergency vets should have the equipment. Do not buy any dog treats that come from China and if the package does not state where it is from then do not buy it! Jennifer

    Well, the lab I mentioned (chocolate overweight one) almost took me out by slamming into my knee. I commented loudly " he better not insure my knee!" No comment from the owner. Others were keeping an eye on this over exhuberant dog too. Many peeps were standing behind a bench for protection. What really bugs me is that the park has very visible signs when you enter it that say you must have control of your dog.

    Thanks for the advice everyone! Picking them up would have probably worked in this situation because the other dog was small, but i couldn't think that fast as it was happening! but carrying some kind of spray sounds like a good idea, i am going to look for that at the pet store. Thanks again!

    Hollie will hide her treats and her dog food. Her favorite hiding place is under MY pillow in the bed. She has tried to hide her entire food bowl by pushing one of her plush toys with her nose in an attempt to get the toy on top of her food bowl. Why doesn't she just use her mouth to pick it up and place it on the bowl? Silly dog!

    The only thing I would be concerned about with a Dachshund would be the possiblity of it having some back damage with the rough play of a basenji…or even trying to do the same acrobatics that Bs do. I have known some folks who had a lot of problems with disk and spine problems with Doxies...but I don't know if that is typical. Something to think about though...
