""I adopted my baby girls, two adult standard dachshunds, about 2 1/2 months ago. The adoption fee included two bags of Science Diet dry food. When I got my babies home, they wouldn't eat. I mentioned this during our post adoption visit and the vet said add water to soften the food. This is about the only way they would eat it. I also had to add canned food to trick them into eating. I talked to a friend and she told me what to look for in dog food and what to avoid--by-products, wheat, and gluten.
After doing some reading of my own, I now know what to feed my babies. They love Nature's recipe. They will eat it dry alone!! I don't have to trick them or mix other stuff with it. Great price for a premium food.
IRONICALLY, Angel developed an allergy to something. We're not sure if it's rice or lamb. The vet recommended that we put her on an elimination diet. Jin Jin is still eating the Nature's Recipe and loves it. Angel is now on a duck and potato formula and is tolerating it. I sure wish she could still eat the Nature's recipe!!"
