Great new find for dogs with food allergies
I found some really good dog food and have been feeding my dog a mixture of all meat kibble, homemade chicken and cottage cheese. For some reason the cottage cheese calms the stomach and both my dogs love it.
Now my chubby dog is losing weight and my skinny dog is gaining weight. And all I had to do was stop listening to my vet and stop buying his Hills dog food and instead tried Innova Ancestral Diet. It has done wonders.
I’m not trying to promote the product, just telling people what I’ve found that works for my dogs.
I found a local pet store and tried about 6 different dog kibble. I looked at the ingredients and if I found corn or wheat I just put it back. But then I started trying some highly recommended kibble that had no grains in it. I also tried Innova meat and vegetables. I use the canned food more as a backup when I don’t have enough chicken left and the dogs are banging their dog food bowls around the kitchen. They think it’s funny!
My advice is to try different brands. All of these brands are guaranteed. And I would use up 1/2 a small bag and if it didn’t work out I took it back and exchanged it for the next trial. They even took back an empty can of dog food.
These dog foods cost more but they don’t cost as much as the vet food and I think are far superior to Vet food.

Update on Home cooked meals for dogs
As you all know I am an advocate of feeding good food to your dog and letting the big dog food industry go bankrupt.
Investigating specialty store dog foods.
I have been looking into some interesting brands of food out there that don’t seem to get a lot of attention because they don’t have the big money for advertising campaigns. These foods are often sold in speciality pet shop stores. You won’t find them at the grocery store or Wal Marts or the local Petco. I think it’s because the grocery stores can’t make much of a profit off of them and they are far superior to any other food out there. So try some of these dog foods out and let me know what you think. They will be a little more expensive but far less expensive than those you will find at the vet’s office.
