Re: Taste of the Wild dog food

meal is, as mentioned above, just whatever protein source is in the food with the water removed. Thus, it is actually a good thing when, as an example, chicken meal is listed first since labels list ingredients by weight. So there is more chicken in a food with chicken meal listed than there is in ...

They have different blends of food depending on the breed, and on what size the dog is. If you would take the time to actually look at what they have to offer instead of listening to people on the forum, you would know that. #-o eerr, correct me if I'm wrong. medium breed dog food is usually: Small...

Have you ever considered that Barby might be allergic to something else than food too? There are many things a dog can be allergic to, not only food, but plants, herbs, acarids, etc.... You could find out with a simple blood test, and then she could be desensitized (like Coco is). WELL....YOU WILL ...

When you only have a few to select from, you take the best you can get. The ProPlan may be better, but I am not familiar with the european formulas. If I'm not mistaken, you mentioned in different posting u'd tried proplan-select, and Blackwood. and Royal Canin is better than those two??? as the TS...
