| Re: Merrick for Older Rottie I fed complete canned and NRG dehydrated to my dogs (6 large dogs) for quite awhile. I rotated between Canidae, Nature's Variety, Natura, Zinpro. For our Newfoundland she was starting to go through a bit of incontinance at 10 years and found the canned food diet helped her a great deal...no more dribbles. :)
The dehydrated foods mixed with canned or freeze dried helped save me some money. Plus, unlike kibble they were not so processed and unhealthy. Cassie proved to us that kibble is not great for urinary tract issues.
We have now put them all on raw home prepared, for the older girl Cassie (she is going on 12 years)...We add digestive enzymes to her food to insure she is getting everything out of her food and to keep her from loosing weight. She also gets higher fat yogurt etc. |
