Have to look into this. My 10 year old maltese mix has only eaten Blue lamb & brown rice since he was 6 months old. Since he is only 10 lbs I wanted to find the best dog food I could give him and wanted to stay away from poultry. He is in excellent health, still has the abilities of a puppy and has never been sick. No signs of arthritis. I will stick with Blue and will look for their response.

My 13 year old labradoodle decided to catch and eat 2 live squirrels at the doggy park a couple of weeks ago—don’t know why. We’ve been going to that park nearly every day of her life, and she’s never paid any attention to the squirrels.

Anyway, it sure scared me, and I called the vet right away. He wasn’t unduly perturbed, just told me to watch her for a couple of days, and if any problems developed, to call him back.

Long story short—she’s fine. However, she probably ate some “by-products” that day.

I switched from a Purina brand to Blue and the difference in my dogs overall health and appearance is amazing.

I took my Yorkie to a new vet this past Monday and I asked about the food I give her which is Blue Buffalo for small dogs and they said that is fine. She eats at will and weighs a little less than five pounds. She is healthy and her Yorkie coat shines the way it should. Her stools are fine and she never has diarrhea and hasn't thrown up. I'm sticking with Blue Buffalo.

Purina One chicken & brown rice (canned) - that’s what my small dogs get. 1st ingredient is chicken, 2nd ingredient is chicken broth; no corn meal

My vet, told me to feed my cats either Hills or BB. All I can tell you is both of them would vomit food or hairballs if I switched to other labels

I only fed Hills

They also liked chicken hearts and liver which I made for them lovingly. My butcher would always give that stuff to me on the house.

I’ve fed mine Taste of the Wild since they were pups. 4.5 stars overall from the pet food review site. They particularly love the Venison flavor.

This company lost me the minute I saw their commercial, they have some woman sitting their talking about being a “pet parent” That told me right from the start they were schlocking BS and pandering to a segment of the market that would be easily manipulated and fall for it.

Not remotely surprised to find out their product claims are lies.

I’ve fed my dogs OLD ROY for years. They live a full life (14-16 years) and are in good shape.

Yesterday I was at my local Wal-Mart buying a large bag of Purina Dog Chow for my loyal pet, Chipper, the Wonder Dog, and was in the checkout line when woman behind me asked if I had a dog.

What did she think I had, an elephant?

......................................

So since I'm retired and have little to do, on impulse I told her that no, I didn't have a dog, I was starting the Purina Diet again.

I added that I probably shouldn't, because I ended up in the hospital last time, but that I'd lost 50 pounds before I awakened in an intensive care ward with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and IVs in both arms.

I told her that it was essentially a perfect diet and that the way that it works is to load your pants pockets with Purina nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry. The food is nutritionally complete so it works well and I was going to try it again.

I have to mention here that practically everyone in line was now enthralled with my story.

Horrified, she asked if I ended up in intensive care because the dog food poisoned me. I told her no, I stepped off a curb to sniff an Irish Setter's ass and a car hit us both.

I thought the guy behind her was going to have a heart attack - he was laughing so hard.

Wal-Mart won't let me shop there anymore.

Our dogs have always done well on Purina feed. It’s kind of funny that our rough, tough cattle dog loves “Little Bites” for some reason.

She also gets table scraps.

Road kill and varmints are saved for special occasions.

Am I a bad “pet parent”?
