I had to start making her food because of allergies. Of course deer/rice or chicken/rice with some added vegetables doesn't have all of the additives of the commercial food, nor does it contain the calories. I actually had to start adding a little lard to the water that I cook the rice in to give her a little more fat content. She also gets a multivitamin, just to be sure she's not missing anything.

The vet says that she is now much healthier, even though at her age she doesn't do much in the way of physical activity. And, maybe best of all, she practically inhales the food because she loves it so much better than anything she had ever eaten in the past.

If you happen to have a Lab....get Royal Canine for Labrador Retrievers and they also have other breed specific dog foods......otherwise Purina OM is one I used to get the weight my dog before I discovered Royal Canine.....OM is only available trough your vet
