Did someone say food?

In an earlier post, I explained how I'm trying to find the "perfect" food for Mya. What I mean is a food that Mya will do well on, not just OK.

I had her on Timberwolf Organics for 5 weeks. The eye guck went away, the stools were excellent, the dander decreased, but....she was still chewing on her legs. Now I realize that it happens to be the worst allergy season lately, so part of her problems could be environmental.

I thought I would try another food with no grains and no chicken. It's called Solid Gold Barking At The Moon. I've been wanting to try this for a long time, but was hesitant because it has beef as the second ingredient. With all the problems in the past with beef in pet foods, I just put it off. I have heard people talk about the protien level being too high in dog food, but if you feed raw, especially prey model, the protein level would be higher.

Solid Gold Northwest Premium Dry Foods"Barking at the Moon"Grain and Gluten-Free High Protein Dog Food TM

We are proud to introduce our new "Grain and Gluten-Free High Protien" formula for dogs. The low-carb movement has been taking the world by storm, and more recently, the idea that dogs can benefit from a similar approach has also been taking hold. Omitting grains from a dog's diet is also one of the major philosophies behind the "BARF" diet (which stands for "Bioligically Appropriate Raw Food") which is making waves in the contemporary world of holistic pet nutrition. High protein and high fat are two major components of nature's intent for canines. The diet of wolves in the wild is characterized by large quantities of meat and organs from prey, some vegetation and very limited grains. Our Barking at the Moon is an attempt to capture this natural (i.e. "Nature-Intended") diet and make it accessible to your dog in a way that is realistic for modern dog owners. Also with the recent probelms involving wheat gluten in the pet food recall, we are happy to point out that wheat is not used in any of Solid Gold's formulas and Barking at the Moon is entirely GLUTEN-FREE! For more on Solid Gold and the recall, check here. By the tradition of Solid Gold, Barking at the Moon is free of any added salts or sugars. It is free of all chemical preservatives such as BHA, BHT, and Ethoxyquin. We use fresh wild salmon and hormone-free beef as our primary protein sources.

I keep track of this info for my own records, so I know what she has tried and what ingredients are involved. I also have a record incase they go and change the formula on me!
