Great Canned Food

    For those of you looking for a great canned food for your kids, I have to say mine are crazy about EVO canned, but not the 95% meat one, but the specialized ones, Duck, Rabbit, etc… and they love the Duck... while I have to special order a case (and that is not a problem) it is a great food and my elders with health problems and do not always want to eat..this has been real find...

    I'll have to try those…I use the 95% meat ones. Apache is real picky and I'm always looking for ways to get him to keep eating! Thanks!

    I tried these when we were in Cali for the nationals (they came in some of the bags that were being handed out for some wins)…
    The ONLY dog of mine that would eat any of them was the live grabage disposal, aka Kenny (my fulll African that loves all fruits and veggies and anything else under the sun).
    None of my dogs are picky and generaly eat whatever I give them.... and it never occured to me that they'd have turned up their food (normally get canned Natural Balance in their dinners) when I put some of that in there.
    Rest assured, Kenny was well fed for a few days! LOL

    Had they eaten it, I would have really considering buying it for them, as the ingredients seemed very good. I guess my pocket book got lucky this time around!!

    I feed dry Evo-Innova mix but have to give one of my dogs medicine twice a day. The EVO rabbit and venison are great for getting even a very suspicious dog to take a bite. I will look for the duck as well.

    Ive just put one of my guys on TOTW, and just bought a bag yesterday. Thankfully this bag appears to not be affected, BUT… I have 4 sample packs, one of which is open and has been fed to the dog... I cant find a Production Code box on any of the sample packs ??? Should I just chuck them out, or does anyone know how I can check to see if these are contaminated ??? ETA Im in Australia, and have heard nothing about this recall, until I came here today...

    I emailed the person listed in the original post to find out if she wrote the first warning. She did write it- here is her reply: But after eating the food…the 6 dogs here got sick, and two died within a week of each other. Different ages and breeds. After putting it out on the internet...3 more dogs have eaten the food and died. Many just got sick. So use your judgement. But the only thing in common seems to be Kirkland Lamb and rice with exp. 2013. We are waiting to hear results on testing...but that takes time. In the meantime...this food has been sold in Nov-Dec. 2011 and is on the shelves in our homes. So to save other lives...I would warn everyone you know that feeds it.

    I once had a pup under treatment at the Bristol Veterinary hospital. When they finally sorted the problem I was told now you'll be able to give him real food meaning kibble!1 I always feed raw and whatever but never complete dog food. Having said that it seems that over here we get a new dog food manufactutrer every month and all claim that theirs is the best!!

    The biggest difference in most puppy foods and small breed foods is the fat and protein contents. I have one that needs the higher calories found in the small breed and puppy foods. If he has a sensitive stomach then you will need to transition very slowly to any new food and he may not transition to a new food.

    Welcome! We at this forum have various dogs that are show dog champions, pet store dogs, shelter dogs, puppy-mill dogs, and all are loved companions so the only 'standard' is that you love your basenji and want the best for them! My 3 are rescues, and I feed dry. I mix 2 foods because as I changed from one to another I didn't like the looser stools, but found a 3/4–1/4 mix to be perfect for all 3. They seem to really like their kibble and eat enthusiastically, though they have had the same food for several years now. I also give mine vegetables, meat, a bit of whatever we eat. As someone else said, people feel very passionately about food, but as long as you feed a high quality food that agrees with your dog, and they are healthy and glossy with solid poop, you're good! Go for the best food you can afford, it will save you bet bills down the way and your dog will be healthier and feel better than if you feed a 'junk food' full of filler. Good luck, welcome and good for you for getting all the information you can! Anne in Tampa

    @Robin_n_Jack: I was having the same problem with Jack recently…he's 2...he wouldn't eat, I called it his anorexic phase. He would eat acouple of bites in the morning, ad about half of his food in the afternoon. There has been a lot of excitement around lately (Dad's home, and we are packing to move) so I thought that might have something to do with it, and I figured he would eat when he was hungry. He hasn't been acting lethargic or sick, just not eating. Finally, after trying everything I could think of, treats in with the food (worked for a little while) pretending to eat it my self and trying to hand feed him(he looked at me like "If you think it is so good, why don't you eat it?) this morning I mixed some water in with the food. Next thing I know, it was all gone. Yay! no more Ally McBeal doggie! Glad to hear that he is eating again. :-) I think we all know what its like to worry that your B isn't eating enough. :rolleyes:
