I did it... the switch :o)

Well, last night I went to Petsmart & got Bella's usual "Eukanuba" ( I KNOW I KNOW! READ ON! )... Because the vet'd like to see her put on a little weight (she's 3 months & 15.6 pounds), he recommended mixing a tablespoon of soft food with her dry food to make it more appealing (not too much though, because ahem... moist food=moist POOP most of the time!). Well, I got home all ready to mix her food up, and opened the bag, and apparently I had a relapse, and got SMALL BREED puppy food. (I have a 3 year old miniature pinscher & a 3 month old Boxer so... no use for us!) The boyfriend found out and said "just return it & get canidae" as we have been conemplating switching for a while... but because the vet said not to switch her food again at her first check up (around 9 weeks), we never did it... And then we started contemplating it again, because she needs to gain a little bit of weight, and we think it's because she's eating the adult small breed food, and quite honestly, the minpins getting a little chunky! So! NOW! Here I am with a bag of Canidae, that both dogs can eat!!!!!!! YAY! (they still eat out of EACHOTHER'S bowls? and I still say "hey!!!!! not yours" so they feel naughty, and keep eating!).
Let's see this puppy get some meat on her little ribs!

Talking

I switched about 3 wks ago, and Scooter loves it. He was having allergies (I believe) from the Nutro Ultra, as I was finding bumps on his skin and his fur seemed thin in areas. Well since I started the Canidae, he hardly has any bumps on his skin, coat is thickening up nicely and he truly does enjoy it!
Here is to fattening up (just a bit) your little one.

Question

Hey,
Did you write the Nutro company & tell them about your problem with the bumps on your baby? I know after working in the medical field that drug companies actually kept records when people would call in & complain about "side effects". It helps them make "better drugs" maybe we'll get better dogfood! Just a thought cause it is 100% guarenteed.
