We switched from what we were using to a couple different brands, each time the recall would expand. Finally went to Natural Balance, and then they had a recall. One of our dogs never did get used to the Natural Balance kibble, and seemed to be having gastric problems even though we weren’t feeding her a recalled product.
SO....after getting up with a sick dog a couple times in the middle of the night, we are now making our own dog food.
I thought it would be harder, but we hit the discount store on the way home from church on Sunday and buy 10 lbs of chicken for 5 bucks, then add veggies and rice. We cook our food because we’ve tried raw diets before with our dogs and that doesn’t seem to agree with them.
Did I ever think I’d be making our own dog food...no...I don’t even like to cook for us that much, LOL. But we’re doing it, at least till the “whole truth” is disclosed, if it ever is.
I cooked for a couple of my dogs for years because one of them had a sensitive tummy and did not do well on dog food. If this keeps up, I may go back to home cooking.
Right now, I am feeding Beef ‘n More. It is made by Merrick (a high class dog food manufacturer) and sold at Sam’s Club. It is about $15 for 40 pounds. The ingredient list is better that dog foods costing twice as much. And none of Merrick’s products are on the recall list.
