WDJ is a nice wholistic dog magazine that has excellent positive training articles and behavioral insights.
Kiroja, I checked out their website recently and when I found a list of articles out of back issues I was sold! Really great topics. Unfortunately I can't access them until I have a subscriber number but that will happen shortly. Thanks for the recommendation.

What do you think of the Merrick brand foods, wet and dry. I will switch if need be, Sahara loves it, but I want her to be healthy, healthy.

We tried Jackpot on Merrick & he didn't like it. Wellness made him sick…so now he's on Fromm Duck & Sweet Potato & doing well :-)

Is she having any problems? Merrick is a decent food, IMO

I'm very happy to say I got my dog his first bag of Orijen today. It was 4 dollars more than eukenuba and it's so much better it's just ridiculous. I was talking to the owner of the store for a while about how non educated most people are about this. Some people feed their dogs purina or science diet and they honestly think that they are feeding good food to their dogs. They might look at the ingredient list which is never easy to find in brands like this and then you read that corn meal is the first ingredient and your common sense just tells you there's nothing wrong with a corn meal. People don't know what these things are, and it's sad because it's something the vet should tell you. I shouldn't have to go on the internet to find out I'm feeding garbage to my dog you know?
Argh, just a little vent. Hope everyone and their B's are all right :)

Good for you! It's unfortunate that people aren't as educated on the matter, but not everyone has basenjis :D

I've been having a very hard time finding dog treats with good ingredients, some help would be much appreciated.

Several of the good dog food companies make treats as well, but if your dog likes the food enough, you can always use that as treats. Or just boil some chicken breast and shred it some and stick it in the fridge to use as treats.

Good for you finding the new food. $4 is a small price to pay for better nutrition. Oh, and Innova makes EVO makes grain free biscuits. BTW, I think my 2 b adults love Orijen best of any food I've tried…I always get yodels when they get that...other foods, they eat fine but don't sing for. :)

I just bought Bella some Merricks Grammy's Pot Pie (dry). It sounds so good I'm tempted to give it a try, LOL!!! I haven't given it to her yet, I'm trying to time it out so I can introduce it slowly… I had to get it at a feed & seed supply store.
It IS sad that people are uneducated about the differences of dog foods… but what is worse is that some of these companies don't care how bad the food is for our pets. Another example of how money is more important in their pocket...
BTW, for treats we like Old Mother Hubbard!!!:D
