Well, after trying some various foods, ( I switched from Science Diet after seeing how low their report card was) we have finally hit on a great combination of foods that keeps their weight under control, their anal glands from being problematic and their coats healthy.
We have put them on Innova Weight Control formula and for breakfast, they get 1 1/2 cup of that with a little warm water on it, and a couple of tablespoons of canned pumpkin. I found that mixing the pumpkin throughout the food really slowed Button down from wolfing his food.
At night, they get another 1 1/2 cup of Innova and about 4 nice size pieces of boiled chicken breast chunks and 1/2 cup of cooked mixed vegetables. I just buy the 2 pound bags of frozen green beans, corn and carrots and cook enough at a time for several nights. We eat a lot of chicken so I just give them that or boil some and keep it in the fridge.
They love it and so far so good. I came to the conclusion that no dog food can give them every nutrient they need and that they needed meat and vegetables just like we do.
I was just wondering if anyone is doing anything like this and what your results have been?
Can anyone think of any reasons that I shouldn't feed the vegetables?
