Any pros or cons about Rachael Ray's Nutrish dog food. I have ben buying high end dog food and having problems finding one my doodle will eat. Been through many brands. I tried Nutrish after comparing the indgredients and it seems very wholesome and comparable to higher end brands and the dog loves it. I cannot find anything bad about on on the internet. Ingredients seem fine but wondering about the quality of the indgreidnts & wondering if it's cheaper because it's new and not a Brand name yet. Thoughts??
Here's the disucussion I was looking for: http://www.doodlekisses.com/forum/topics/commercial-foodsthe-good-t...
Start in the middle of the page, at my post that begins: I thought about posting this as one of my whines in "Come have a Little Whine with Me"and you'll find some pertinent info.
Oh My! I would love to visit these manufacturers of the "premium foods" to see what goes on........ if there is no regulations then who knows??
Here is a clip of the discussion in the book Food Pets die For http://doghealth1.com/2009/04/garbage-in-dog-food/
Yay! I found two stores that are in my area that sell Orajin. We'll give it a try. Callie actually seems to be losing weight on the Nutrish so I'm anxious to get her on a better path! She looks so huge because she's fluffy, but I'm feeling some bones
A fair amount of the ingredients in the Nutrish are indigestible and/or cannot be utilized by dogs. I think you will see an improvement in her coat on the Orijen, too.
So far so good with the orijen...I've been doing a mix with the Nutrish just so Callie doesn't get diarrhea but will start scaling it back over the weekend and going full orijen. She's still not snarfing it up, but she's not rejecting it either. Quick question to anyone who has their dog on this food...is it lower "residue" than other dog foods?
Jack's poop is better formed and firmer with Orijen than it was on Wellness, Prairie, or Fromm's. It will take about a week or so though for her system to adjust to the grain-free formula. You could consider it lower residue, since it doesn't have any indigestible plant cellulose like foods that contain grains. However, it also doesn't have the binder junk that the crappy dog food companies add to make the food desirable to the human purchaser.
