He has been fed with Science Diet, don't know for sure which one, but he is overweight. Here are my concerns/questions:
First of all, I do not care to feed Science Diet, the formula contains a lot of corn, which I think is bad.
Second, the person who had him said that they only fed him kibble "for his teeth". Problem is, he has no middle teeth, only front teeth and back molars.
He does seem well enough eating this food, as he is quite plump, but my feeling is that he should have some softer food, and low cal.
What would you feed, of commercial products, to a healthy 8 year old cav, and what would you add.
Right now, he seems to be stealing the Pedigree small breed kibble from the other dogs. And Pedigree was one of the only foods that were not recalled.
But is also has corn as an ingredient. I don't mind it for the mutts, they are thriving on it.
I am actually now not the least bit interested in feeding premium foods, as most of them were in the recall, right along with the lowest priced foods sold at stores like WalMart. The way I see it, we have all been being ripped off, since the same ingredients go into WalMart's Roy....food and Iam's premium, both were recalled.
Royal Canine was not recalled, but my toby simply got to where he wouldn't eat it, and also preferred Pedigree.
What's a caring mom to do? Especially for the 8 year old?
