    Actually, I take that back, it's less expensive.

    The Nature's Variety bags are 3lbs, and the Primal ones are 4lbs. I think this will be a solid replacement. Less $$ is always nice. :D

    I'm not at home, so I can't remember what we switched to, but I think it is the same thing.
    It comes in 4lb bags, and has a pheasant variety that the dogs are nuts for.

    Yea, must be the same one. I picked up a 4lbs bag of the chicken formula and pheasant formula.

    Ok, just had to add some more. Had a friend over yesterday (our first thanksgiving turkey, then Thursday again!) and she saw Hershey 12.8 years old and she mentioned how alert he was. Coat and eyes were clear and shiney! I was really excited to hear this as I read this about others' dogs in different forums etc. So, anyone thinking about it, it is not a fad…..it works and they all love it!

    Why raw and kibble not at the same time?

    That is precisely why I didn't feed them together generally– raw was a meal, kibble a meal.

    Giardia can actually be very difficult to clear up. What medication did the vet use? Did they keep prescribing the same medication or did they try something else to see if Benga responded better to another? I know that with Nicky we had tried Flagyl but it would recur and then tried Panacur and it finally cleared up. As for the food if you are looking for something less rich, try California Natural. It is made by the same company as Evo but is not as rich as Evo.

    If they are too hard - how about adding some Flax Seed - I'm think that more fiber might help. or a small bit of Karo Syrup.

    @mauigirl: I spent quite some time at Carol Webb's when I was going around meeting breeders and we talked about feeding and giving raw meat. One thing I remember her saying is that it's important to not feed raw meat and dry kibble in the same meal because they get digested at different rates. In the future I will probably try giving Zip a handful of raw meals a week and see how she does. I'm not sure how I'd make that transition though. Right now she's doing fine on Innova. She is correct about the kibble and the raw meat..
