I would definitely do a gradual change. a little egg first, then some meat.

My experience is that any drastic change in diet to a pooch touchy stomach produces demonic results.

My dog Huckleberry was a pound rescue. When we got him going on this diet WHOA BOY!!!! He could gag a maggot with the results. It took about a month before we could let him in the house! No he's fine and looks great.

I'll try that tonight . . . I'll mix some egg in with his Science Diet. Then tomorrow, we'll try some ground beef mixed in - or maybe wait until Wednesday. This would be cool if it works! As long as Salty doesn't go thermonuclear on us . . .

Dang it, I had a nice long lecture worked up, and saw your pithy summary.

Now all I can say is 'ditto' ;-)

Re: BSE for dog food. I did a few years in USDA (pronounced 'used ta' as in 'used ta haff ta work') - they continue to drop the ball on BSE. I think it's just a welfare agency, since of it's 100,000 employees, less than 10% are in food safety, and of the 'inspectors' almost a third are various bureaucrats and managers. Not much bang for the buck.

This reminds me of the Saturday Night Live bit about the rat poison sold in twenty-five pound bags with a picture of a dog on the front...something like:

Lassie's Choice
RAT POISON

Why not just buy the dogs real steak for that price?

Why buy dogfood at any price? My dog eats what I eat. I like my dog and would never consider feeding him bagged crap!

He's gonna like it. But go slow on the transition! I am not responsible for any burnt nosehairs, peeling paint or dizziness and nausea on your part!
