Prairie


  • Anyone ever heard of Prairie?

    We just had to change Indys's food and this is what they guy at the petstore suggested. The ingredients list looks good and Indy loves it. We would like to feed Evo but he just explodes every time we try so thats not an option. We used to feed California Natural but you have to drive forever to get it. So anyone have any thoughts?


  • If you are going to feed EVO you NEED to mix food for about 2 weeks. THe change to no grain for most dogs will cause VERY loose stool for a week or so, especialy if you simply change over imediatly.

    Is the food Natures Variety? It seems to have a good ingredients list, and no corn or wheat, which is a BIG plus as far as I am concerned (What with Charlie's super allergy to corn)


  • Prairie is one of the foods that I rotate my cats on. They love it. It is a good high quality food.


  • I've used it - as does a couple of Gordon Setter breeders around here - dogs like it - seem to do well on it.

    Not sure how Xylitol is being marketed. It is an alcohol found in a lot of plants, including birch wood, which is the source of Xylitol used in medicines. And it is toxic to dogs, even in small amounts. Most of the time you find it in sugarless gum and candy. Here is an FDA warning "Paws Off Xylitol": https://www.fda.gov/consumers/consumer-updates/paws-xylitol-its-dangerous-dogs

    Hello, I recommend reading: Early Kidney Disease - Difficulty Getting Her to Eat at https://basenjiforums.com/topic/15616/early-kidney-disease-difficulty-getting-her-to-eat/13 What may guide your path: Kidney values relative to normal. Is there proteinurea? For homemade, read DogAware and accompanying websites. Good luck!
  • Looking to try one of these....

    8 mos old is still on Royal Canine medium size puppy as recommended by vet. Very interested in how you change up their food. Glad to hear that because I would like to change him from chicken based to something else as adult. Had always been advised not to keep changing food as it was hard on their system. Breeder advised to use high protein and fat dog food (60% protein, 30% fat). What is your opinion on this? I am starting to add 1/2 tsp coconut oil daily to dog food for winter feeding. Advised it had ingredients similar to mother's milk. What say you about this?

    My b-kids all love Instinct - every flavour I've tried has been a huge hit.
