Anyone Else Have a Sick Dog?

I don’t sell Iams, Euk, SciDi or Purina … they just don’t meet my quality standards. The grocery store aisle is full of stuff I wouldn’t feed my dog also. Everything in my shop would be considered a natural food with no corn, wheat, or soy, no byproduct meal, and no chemical preservatives. Beyond that, there are some more expensive foods and some less expensive foods – they are all a little different. When I do a dog food consult I try to figure out what the dog has been eating and why the owner wants to switch food.

In the interest of full disclosure, I have to say that Natura has been one of my favorite food manufacturers for years. Unfortunately, Natura, who makes California Natural, Innova, and Evo, has been purchased by our friends at Proctor and Gamble. My staff and I are watching them closely to see what changes they will make to one of the best quality foods out there. P&G did buy Natura’s manufacturing facility, certified to human grade standards, along with the brands and formulae, and much of the staff stayed on. So far.
