It's no fun. I had back surgery a year and a half ago and I'm still having issues. I'm working at getting better though. I’ve been having back issues for years. It’s no fun.

We are also able to buy "no name brand" spaghetti very cheap here, and cook this up and mix with a bit of "dog meat" (scraps from the butcher), which he loves. Probably a bit fancy in some respects (we spoil him), but it works out much cheaper than it sounds and isn't that much work!

These are 2 highly regarded all natural formulas of kibble with real meat as the first ingredient, and no byproducts, fillers, chemicals, etc. These are grain-free formulas, because my dog Abby has an allergy to grains, which a lot of dogs with stomach upset, skin allergies, ear problems etc actually have I found out. Even though the cats don't have any allergies, I feed them the grain-free formula because from what I've read, cats don't eat grains in the wild and really shouldn't have them - it causes digestion problems in them too. I received a list of the top 9 all natural dog food (kibble) a while back, based on the writer's investigation of ingredients in many commercial dog food formulas, and he rated the top 9 as far as having the most real meat (not meal or byproduct), no chemicals, etc. Your Blue Buffalo formula was on the Top 9, but not Nutro. Here are the foods he recommended in no particular order- maybe you can find one of these more easily: APD Select Choice Blue Buffalo Co Canidae From Family Halo Purely for Pets Holistic Blend Natura Innova Newman's Own Organics Wellness Good luck and I hope your pup's stomach problems go away.

She loves this more than the food we purchase from our Vet. However, she only receives this 1x or 2x a week. However, we were also told by our Vet that we can supplement her regular food with Peas or Potatoes as she is very sensitive as well. Hope this helps! :) Much love, xoxo-pm We make our dog rice and veggies with some egg and vitamin supplements. She loves this more than the food we purchase from our Vet.

I guess this is a time to be glad that our kitten is robust and will eat virtually anything. :) I’m sorry to hear about your dog food woes.
