Evo is great. Chance is allergic to most foods. After trial and error, Evo is working out great.

I also use natural balance either duck and potator or fish and sweet potato. Also watch the treats you give them. sometimes it will list flax which can also cause a reaction in grain allergic dogs. Just an FYI.

I bought a small bag of the Natural Balance Duck & Patato last night, to use as treats at first in small quantities.
Of coarse he hates it, spits it out. I tried mixing it with his other food and he picks out his regular food. The other dog likes it no problem, but she's not the one who needs it!
This dog I am going to rename to- "Difficult"
He is such a pain in the butt compared to our girl- they are so different from each other. Yes we love both, but…

Been slowing introducing he food and he seems to be accepting it, no redness on his underside or diarhea.
looks like we will be able to switch over
Still do not think Dick Van Patten's name is a plus

How about Solid Gold Barking At The Moon…you should also expect some diarrhea when switching foods. I add water to it so it's a little more tasty :)

Why is wheat and grains bad for dogs, do they have a hard time digesting them. Sometimes Sahara loves to have some of my peanut butter on wheat toast, is that bad for her. She loves it, so how about it???

The wheat and grains they use as fillers in dog food is not like the wheat you have in your bread… and little toast and PB will never hurt her...
And yes they have a hard time digesting the fillers they put in dog food, because IMO, it of lesser quality and if just what it appears, a filler.. Dogs are meat eater... for the most part
