[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 555909, member: 84"] Aww. I wanna see a picture of her if you can Janet! I think Maggie is much more sensitive to the cheaper brands of dog food, or the ingredients too. She loves kibbles n bits and it's the only food I can get her to eat well and consistently , but it doesn't love her very much. I tried to keep her on pedigree puppy but only way I can do that is to keep putting a can of the pedigree dog food in it. She won't touch puppy chow with or without can food. They must have done something to the formula. I have recipes for making homemade dog food that can be canned. Cost is supposed to be a bit more than normal dry food but less than can food. I'm going to try to make some up for them here in the near future and see how they do with it. I just can't afford to buy the expensive organic stuff all the time. And I can make it as organic for them as possible while keeping out the stuff they can't digest well such as the corn. The recipe is rice based, but I can substitute rolled oats for the rice if it's too constipating for them. You can serve it with a good dry brand to make sure it's filling enough and to stretch it longer too. Best of all, next year I can grow many of the ingredients myself and bring the cost down more. I have to do something though, because Maggie's gas is worse than Molly's and I don't think I've ever seen a normal BM from her. (and Molly's gas will run you right out of the house) I've tried 3-4 brands of good dog food with no better results. And like I said, I can't afford the organic stuff long term. You reminded me to make her appointment to be spayed though. I was going to do it last week but my little trip to the hospital has thrown me way off stride. [/QUOTE]
