This is from Ron, whose Boston Terrier Madison was having some nutritional challenges, as covered in earlier blogs. We got her off highly commercial dry food and starchy biscuits and now she’s a home-cooked beauty. But Ron is looking for a good brand of kibble to give himself a little break from being her chef!
Dear Tracie – I have followed all your advice and Madison’s coat looks great. I have now fed exclusively brown rice, beef (or chicken), carrots, parsley, Platinum Performance and Nordic Naturals omega 3 oil for the past 30 days. But I find it is quite time consuming and, as my schedule is hectic, a little difficult. I make extra and freeze it but it still takes a long time. I read the dog cookbook you suggested (The Ultimate Pet Food Guide) and now was hoping for some specific healthy kibbles I can simply supplement with the Platinum Performance and Nordic Naturals omega 3 and cooked vegetables. What is your opinion on Blue Holistic dry food?
Thanks for the support.
I have waited to answer you Ron because I have been deciding very carefully what dog food I want to feed my own dogs and then be able to recommend whole-heartedly to my listeners. It isn’t just a question of high quality ingredients, but one of social responsibility, too — I wanted to make a partnership with a company that gave back to the animal community. Well I made my choice — and I think it should be yours, too. HALO, PURELY FOR PETS happily came on board as a website sponsor after I met with their executives (wonderful people dedicated to pets) and studied their ingredients. They also just gave away $350,000 worth of food to shelters — and this from a small private company! My kind of people (plus, Ellen DeGeneres bought part of the company and WHO does not love Ellen?!) I just started feeding my pooches the extremely high quality HALO kibble — no by-products or meal — and the canned food is truly human-appealing. So for Madison, I recommend that you give her half HALO kibble and half their canned food when you cannot cook your own protein source. You can skip the veggies if you want, because they are right in the Halo Spot’s Stew. Keep up the good work with the supplements (they are to thank for her beautiful coat, by the way) and let me know how she blossoms.
