WHAT WE FEED AT THIS TIME

AS FAR AS THE TYPE OF FOOD TO FEED.  I FED SCIENCE DIET FOR YEARS.  ALL OF A SUDDEN, MY DOGS COATS WEREN'T THE USUAL SHEEN I LIKE.  I DID SOME   RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT SCIENCE DIET WAS CUTTING CORNERS AND PUTTING FILLERS LIKE CORN FOR THEIR FIRST INGREDIENT. NO MORE SCIENCE DIET FOR "MY" DOGS.  WENT TO NUTRO NATURAL CHOICE "NNC".  NO FILLERS AND THE FIRST INGREDIENTS WHERE MEAT.. NO BY-PRODUCTS (guts, feathers, ground bones).  WE FED IT FOR YEARS AND ONE DAY MY SISTER ASKED ME WHY I DIDN'T TRY KIRKLAND "K" FROM COSTCO.  I IMMEDIATELY BECAME DEFENSIVE AND SAID "I DON'T FEED MY PUPPIES AND DOGS "CHEAP FOOD"!!!".  SHE IN TURN SAID TO DO MY HOME WORK. I DID YOU SEE, COSTCO BUYS THEIR FOODS FROM BIG COMPANIES AND DEMAND A HIGH QUALITY FOOD TO PUT THEIR K BRAND NAME ON.  IT IS MADE BY DIAMOND.  IT IS THEIR PREMIUM QUALITY BRAND (higher priced,  $40 for 40 lbs., and hard to find.  Usually found in black bags). 

THE INGREDIENTS MEASURED UP TO THE STANDARDS I WANT FOR MY DOS AND PUPPIES.  SO I BOUGHT A BAG OF ADULT K CHICKEN AND RICE BROUGHT IT HOME AND PUT A BIG BOWL OF IT ALONG SIDE OF THE NNC.  FOR 3 DAYS, MY DOGS ATE THE K ANDTHE NNC REMAINED IN THE OTHER BOWL UNEATEN.  I FEED HARD KIBBLE.  THE 4TH DAY, I MIXED THE NNC AND K TOGETHER (it looks the same but a little bit different in color) ON THE 5th DAY, THEY HAD PICKED THE K OUT AND ATE IT.  tHE NNC REMAINED IN THE DISH.  MY NEIGHBORS THAT FEED A CHEAP BRAND OF SAFEWAY POOCH FOOD, INHERITED THE SACK OF NNC.

AS PICKY AS I AM, I STILL WATCHED TO SEE IF THEIR COATS REMAINED WITH THE HIGHER SHEEN THAT I AM ACCUSTOMED TO.  THAT WAS 3 YEARS AGO.  I AM STILL DEVOTED TO KIRKLAND FROM COSTCO.  NOT ONLY FOR THE PRICE, BUT MY DOGS DO SO WELL ON IT.  I FEED PUPPY FOOD TO MY PREGNANT FEMALES ALL THE WAY THROUGH THEM WEANING THEIR BABIES.  40# OF PUPPY FOOD COST ME $21 COMPARED TO $40 FOR NNC PUPPY FOOD.  MY ADULT K DOG FOOD COST'S ME $17-$19 FOR 40#. THEY HAVE CHICKEN AND RICE, LAMB & RICE AND MATURE (less fat).  IF MY NEW PUPPY OWNERS DON'T HAVE A COSTCO NEARBY.  MY NEXT CHOICE IS NNC OR EUKANUBA.
