This is a reply I recieved from Petcurean about their Go Natural Salmon and Oatmeal formula. I ask if the salmon and salmon meal they use is wild or farmed:


Hello Thank-you for your enquiry. The salmon we use in all of our products is wild, wild, wild! I have included a link to our website that has some great articles for you to peruse. www.petfoodallergies.com If you have further questions, please ask. Thank-you.

when you find good stuff, please let us know! and you're lucky your dogs aren't picky... imagine finally finding THE only food, it's perfect, and boo hates it! but boo's good, he'll love the new stuff i'm sure. just the variety will be enough to make him scarf it down!

Boo isn't too picky. He eats almost anything, but all very slowly. Jemma is picky. She won't touch Wellness foods... As long as the food is meaty (which it will be, of course), she'll be ok. I actually thought of putting her on Evo alone... She has been getting kinda skinny lately and that affects her estrogen levels, which is no fun for her... I think she'd do well on Evo, being a carnivore to the core. Boo is more of an omnivore (keep an eye on your potatoes!!).

He does the side-lick. He seems like he's far away, but then he tilts his head and the frog-like tongue just side swipes your plate and catches all the potato content of your plate. He got six potato halves in one lick once.

Prin, have you thought about trying Holistic Blend? My Benny has many of the same problems your Boo has and he does really well on the Holistic Blend Lamb and Rice. No more barfs, and one nice looking poop per day. It took me a really long time to find something that works for him (he is allergic to chicken AND eggs). www.holisticblend.com

It's just really grainy... Grains make up the bulk of the ingredients by far (once you dehydrate the meats, they fall far down the list). And at 22%, it's starting to get low in the protein department. No bad ingredients though.

We got a dvp one that I think includes chicken fat and wouldn't work on your crew.. But Cider is a picky lady, and she's quite happy with the dvp so far.

Except for the Vitamin K1 supplement too.

I don't trust any of it. If Vitamin K can be obtained naturally then that's what I want.

Me too. Multivitamins give me muscle cramps after just one pill. I can just imagine being forced to eat one every day.

Yeah... Neither did my Dr... It was pretty harsh.. I drink a lot of milk, so I think having more calcium than that, especially unnatural calcium, overloaded my muscles. With my thyroid crap, I'm at risk of osteoporosis, so I have to take vitamin D, so he just made me take a multivitamin and I was up all night with leg cramps. Never had leg cramps before, so I switched to only vitamin D and they stopped.
