[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 298190"] Donna... husband and I went to the doggie speciality shop and told them about our dogs bottom and breath. We also told them about her food. They said it was horrible...lots of fillers. So, they suggested two good ones...first ingredient "meat." When I got home, I gave her a few little pieces of the packets and I could tell she loved it. We decided on the guys first choice and I mixed half with half of her regular food and then I gave her half of her usual amount of vitamins and a little water...she gobbled it up so fast I thought she would choke! I kinda want to keep the vitamins...she adores the way I mix it with water, etc. The shop owner thought it was a good plan to simply reduce the vitamins I give her. They are a good brand (he sells them) and he doesn't think a little extra vitamins will hurt her. It will be GREAT if this improves her two problems...both having to do with odors. I'll be honest...I will be a little annoyed too...cause I DID mention it to two vets and both said that it had nothing to do with her food. I recall the last time the TECH kinda made a face when I asked if I should switch our dog to a premium dog food and the vet said her dog food was fine. Hmmmm. That made me very suspicious that HE thought it had something to do with her food and in the back of my mind I thought to myself I would stop by the specialty shop that only sells the premium dog foods. Right now, I'm trying to find for her a good harness to walk her. The regular store only sells one that digs into her back and I don't like the ones at this speciality shop. There is another specaialty shop...but it is far. Do you know a good on line store for harness? I'm looking for material/velcros...something very well made. Thank you for your advice...(Fran too!). I think it is what my dog really needed!!:happy: p.s. When you guys say that you throw green beans as "filler," is this so the dog feels like he/she is eating more? Also, do you use a can? Aren't you worried about salt? Do you buy low salt green beans? If you use rice, is it brown or white? Do you make it once a week and then take from there, etc. Thank you. If anyone knows anything about cat behavior...PLEASE identify yourself! Thank you...I might start another thread though. [/QUOTE]
