Waaaay to much corn for my dogs (Achilles gets very yucky ears on corn, and labs tend to have to many food allergies, so not gonna try it with Qenna and no commercial dog food works for Rhea)

Lol, everytime we go to the vets, they try to get me to switch to either Science Diet or one of their "special prescription foods" (because those companies are the ones that teach them about nutrition in school). They either just don't listen or forget that when Achilles was on it, he was in every other week for ear infections!

But just because something doesn't work for my dogs, doesn't mean it isn't good for other dogs. Glad to hear that he's doing great on it! Out of curiosity, any problems on Eukanuba that made you switch?

I usually feed my two Eukanuba but Drake gets fussy if we feed him the same over and over again. So we switched to science diet this time but they both turned their nose up at it and refuse to eat any of it...

I wouldd understand Drake doing it but Meika is a guts and normally eats EVERYTHING

Our new pup's breeder had her on SD LBP (I think he usually feeds Pro Plan LBP) and I have to say I was a little disappointed (SD is not exactly on my favorite foods list). However, she really was doing better on it than I had expected. I am switching her over to Pro Plan now though- just because it's what I typically feed. So far so good!

Thanks for the info people. Yeah our vet suggested it and had a great deal on it, got a big 18kg bag, some treats and some other wet food all for a real good price. Basically fonzie was getting tired of having Eukanuba his whole life, Ever since he has been born he has been on it so yeah. Starting to pick at his food and MUCH rather beg us for ours!
