No actually B is doing great on the raw... Meik is still odd man out ( for now)
In all honesty I posted this in another forum ( among corn in dog food lovers) and just thought it was a fun experiment.

#3 looks ok to me... I'm no expert, but it looks a bit better than the others. I'm a bit biased though, since right now I can only feed Tommy vet food ANYTHING else looks better than what we have, lol.

#2 is the WORST. Just disgusting. I wouldn't feed that to my worst enemy's dog. Just disgusting. #4 is second WORST, but VERY close to #2. More "animal" things (just disgusting). #1- many bad things about it, but it's still much better than 2 and 4, but nowhere near 3 and 5. Honestly, the only real complaint about #3 is the grain, but even then, they're more digestible grains than the usual ones. And honestly, you've never seen a coat on a doggy like you'll see on that food. |

Yes, #3 was in my doggy bowls for awhile.

I'm totally confused as to what #3 is. I voted for it because it looked the best to me. We just upgraded to Innova and I'm excited to see how well they do. I also started adding some yogurt and eggs into their diet along with the raw veggies they love. I'm having a hard time with raw meat though. But I'm getting there! I used to be the type that if my dog would eat it, it's good for them. One time we bought Mileva this cheap @$$ stuff at Tractor Supply. $8 for 50lbs. She refused to TOUCH it. After doing some research we realized how incredibly crappy it was. Smart dog. lol We threw out almost all of it. Anyway, sorry for the ..

#3 for me too! Are there kcals available? Not that it would really matter in this case, everything else doesn;t stack up!
|
#14
|

|

It's 364kcal/cup. I actually feed Boo more Evo RM than I fed of #3.
|
#15
|
||||
|

But when you give eggs and yogurt are the eggs raw or cooked and is the yogurt plain?

Feeding more of RM yet more calories per cup
Hmm Prin
That's interesting, I wonder if that food is using the calculation for determining Kcals and not a "feeding trial" like RM (at least I think the use the actuals as they do feeding trials??????) |
#17
|

|

I have no idea. To me the most logical thing would be that he was absorbing one better than the other, but that wouldn't make sense because it's much grainier than the RM. Maybe Boo just digests grains well.

erykah, I know what #3 is as well, have you ever asked if the place that sells if they would bring in a different brand of food? If they are able to get number 3, they should have no trouble asking the exact same distributor( that supplies #3 and who also supplies most other brands we buy in Ontario) to send a food choice you like

There is only one petstore that I have found that sells number 3 in this general area.... I talked to them about EVO RM but they say that they cant just order a food because one person wants it and well TO... they actually didnt know what I was talking about

Ordering a bag specially is hard sometimes because the store ends up expecting you to commit to buying a bag each order or something and then if your dog doesn't tolerate it... But if they can get one solid gold, they should be able to stick a bag of BATM in there once in a while too. |

ummm??? whats BATM?
Meik is the only kibble boy here, and he's eating wellness right now, he's doing much better on that food and i plan on keeping him on it until his appointment.
