After having problems with the cost and the quality of Hills Prescription dog food we (I) decided to try some speciality dog food kibbles found only in the smaller private pet shops.

We tried Innova dog food which I thought was quite good except both dogs wouldn’t eat it unless it was disguised as chicken or beef.

I remember holding some of Hills dog food in my hand and later my hand was reaking of funky grease smell.  I had to wash my hands but my dogs seemed to like the taste.  Obviously Hill’s was coating the dog food with some cool dog smells.   Remember dogs don’t taste then decide it’s good.  They smell their food and taste it with their nostrals.

I decided to taste the Hills food. YUK!  It was bitter and nasty.  I just knew I was tasting chicken guts and cow lips.

Then I tasted Innova dog food.  What a difference.  It tasted fine.  I looked at the ingredients.  I couldn’t find any meat or chicken meal in the list.

Innova is a good food.     They even have a kibble that has no grains in it what so ever.  They also have a low fat diet for porkers like my female Westy’s.  She was OK with eating the kibble.  My male dog (who is incredibly picky and skinny) wouldn’t eat it.

Next we tried Wellness for allergies.  It is an excellent dry kibble.  I mix it with chicken or turkey and my picky dogs have had no bad reactions.  The price isn’t too bad.  Around $10.00 compared with $25.00 for Hills.

So far so good!
