UPDATE: 11/17/2011
After discontinuing kibble, my dog has bounced back from what I thought was an incurable condition. Both dogs would eat the wet food but not the dry. So I discontinued my kibble.
I have tried Innova, Natura, Hills, Prescription diet and all the exotic brands; duck, deer, buffalo, lamb, salmon and little bunnies. I've bought expensive food that costs $75.00 a bag but now I am through.
I feed my dog canned food and they are both doing so well. It was dog food but not wet food but kibble. If your dog has problems with his food, try giving up kibble. Who needs all that grain anyway? It worked for us and it might work for you!
I want to share with you the trials and tribulations that my dog Spooky and I went through to finally come to the realization that kibble was causing him to become ill from dog food allergies.
I didn't know it at the time but my little dog (3 months old) was going to cost a whole lot of grief and suffering on his part.
Yes, I've spent 5 thousand dollars to keep him well and it was worth it but I want you to know that you don't have to go through all we have been through to get your dog in a happier place.
My dog Spooky is finally playing again. He doesn't wake up in the morning retching and vomiting the moment he wakes up. He wakes up and does his yoga stretches (down dog pose then into cobra) and eats his breakfast and then wants to play.
It's been so long since I've seen him play I forgot what he was like. He steals my female westy's toys and is just a monster. But he's the joy of my life and Elle's best friend.
Elle is my female westy and she gets very upset if Spooky whines when at the Vet's. So I guess what I'm saying is that my two dogs have a relationship that is so different than the relationship with me.
I have given up on kibble because of all the additives in it. Any of which, Spooky is allergic to. But when he eats home cooked meals, he has no allergies.
Imagine how better, we as humans, would feel if all our food came from our garden, we knew where our meat came from (without BHT and antibiotics) and knew that the grains we used were not grown with an insecticide that was poison in our dogs systems and would cause liver failure.
