Good Puppy Food
After getting my new Irish setter puppy I sat on the internet and did ALOT of research on puppy/dog food. And just like if you put processed crappy food in your body, your health declines. Giving dogs food that you can find in most super markets are made up of mostly corn gluten, by products and things that sounds horrible.
I decided that my dogs would have a better life than that. I did have some issues finally getting a food I felt comfortable giving him and one that agreed with his stomach. At first I tried Wellness puppy food and it gave my little guy loose stool. So I slowly switched over to Organix and have not had a problem since. I will continue to use this until he gets to a year.
Amazon sells this cheaper than anywhere I could find it and if you get the subscribe and save it makes it an even better deal. I have never had an issue with the shipping or packaging.
Took a few tries to find the right one.
When we got our lab puppy I did a lot of comparing different brands of dog food including cost. This is a great deal. A lot of dog foods boast chicken or another meat as the first ingredient but the list is based on weights. If it says chicken followed by a grain of some sort, the grain is probably the most abundant ingredient because the chicken loses around 60% of its weight when cooked. This has chicken-meal as the first ingredient (after chicken) which is cooked and dried when weighed. It doesn't have any corn or wheat products. We used Blue Buffalo at first but it was more expensive and our puppy never had firm stools. We don't have that problem with this. We also tried Castor & Pollux Natural Ultramix but she didn't like it. Organix is a great deal on subscribe and save on Amazon, our puppy loves it, and it is good for her. Now if only I fed myself as healthy as I feed her =)
As a side note: the Organix dog cookies were not a hit. For training I highly recommend...
Highly Recommend but Did not Work for my Dog
I love Castor and Pollux Organix dog food as I have done much research and it seems to be the best of the best. It is expensive, but all of the top quality foods run around the same price and this one falls into that category. They have so many important factors such as organic chicken with no added growth hormones or antibiotics, the kibble is small and my dog found it to be tasty, and it is made in the USA (which is important because it contains chicken and there has been many dog food recalls that contain chicken made in China).
As much as I love this product, I am sad to report that it did not agree with my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppy. I gradually introduced Organix mixing it with his previous food (Halo)over the span of 2 weeks and his stools were consistently soft. Every once in awhile he would have a "normal" stool but for the most part either had soft stools and occasional liquid diarrhea. I kept him on the food for a month, after being on Halo 3 months (he...
