Puggin' Along

A quicky before I do the dreaded poo patrol, and empty the ashes in my woodstove. Stella is such a funny pug. The new diet is the Solid Gold, which was recommended by an aquaintance, and others. I am amazed at the difference in the dogs (even within just a week), it is a tad costly, but so are vet visits caused by mainstream diets, if your dog does not tolerate them well, or is prone to allergies. All the mainstream diets have terrible fillers like corn, wheat, and other allergy causing ingredients. The other benefit, is the lack of shedding. I still get the tumbleweeds, but now, not as much. I figure it is a trade off, if the dogs are healthier, then it will cost me less in the long run. I wasn't feeding them Ole Roy, there was Eukanuba, and another one from Costco that seemed like it was a "middle of the road" diet and had good ingredients. Eukanuba, made my pug absolutely ill looking, and scraggy. There is nothing more sad than a shell of a pug. The fat content is bio available, so they metabolize it easily. Also, there are no fillers or dreaded by product ingredients. I don't have time or room to feed the BARF diet, or even a raw diet, so this was a good option. The proof will be in the lack of ear infections. Normally caused by water in the ears, but can be caused by diets as well. I am still packing burrows solution just in case. I thought I was doing okay by just going by the ingredient list, but obviously, there are differences.
