Is a BARF diet good for my 5-year-old dog, or will he get bored?
Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I do not recommend a raw diet for Spoty. These diets are not balanced appropriately for domesticated dogs and can carry bacteria (salmonella) can cause diarrhea and sometimes death. This bacteria is also contagious to humans. I recommend diets made my quality pet food companies. In the US, I like Hills/Science Diet, Royal Canin, Purina, and Iams. These diets are made by veterinary nutritionists and tested for safety for decades. Dogs typically don’t get bored with the same diet like humans do. If they aren’t offered anything different they won’t know there is something better. If you wanted to add something more I would get the canned food that matches the dry food you pick and add that to his food. Watch how much you feed so you don’t give him too many calories. Good luck and kisses to Spoty!

What are the best affordable grain-free dog foods and treats?
Every dog is a little different and you may have to experiment a bit to find the food that Roscoe tolerates the best. I don't know what your budget is, or what is specifically available in your area, but here are a few brand options: Natural Balance Taste of the Wild Merrick Canidae Most of these brands offer grain free treats as well.

Why won't my bulldog eat grain-free biscuits, only raw meat?
It's always frustrating when we try to feed our dogs the best diets, but they decide that they don't want to eat them. I think you have a few options. Yes, you can try a different dry food. Sometimes when dogs eat the same food all the time, they can get tired of it. I have also seen some of the more natural foods have problems with storage once the bag is open because of the all natural preservative, so if you are at the end of a big bag, gettting a new bag of food may solve the problem. If you want to feed a raw diet, you could also look at feeding a commercially available raw diet and removing the dry food from his diet. If Gus does not want to eat another type of dry food or a new bag of the old food or does not seem to feel well in any way, I would recommend having your veterinarian examine him and make sure there isn't anything medical going on. Good luck! I hope that was helpful. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

What chicken-free dog food is best for IBD and food sensitivities?
Since Cash is a small dog, you might consider one of the more expensive options such as a dehydrated or fresh food diet. They are able to control their ingredients much more easily than a large manufacturing plant does that makes dry food. I have been very pleased with The Honest Kitchen ( https://www.thehonestkitchen.com/ ) and Just Food For Dogs ( https://www.justfoodfordogs.com/ ). Both have foods that will not have chicken and both have options without any poultry. You do not have to worry about the potential addition of chicken fat which a number of dry food companies do as well. If those are not good options for Cash, then you may consider a canned food which again will generally be safer than a dry food at making sure there isn't any chicken contamination. I have been pleased with Natural Balance Limited Ingredient Diets ( https://www.naturalbalanceinc.com/ ), but be sure to read the labels carefully. Good luck! I hope that was helpful and gives you some ideas. Thanks for using PetCoach.

Is a raw food diet suitable for my 12-year-old 12lb senior dog?
Hi, thanks for using PetCoach! Hershey is adorable! I think you can give it a try. A few pieces of advice, with raw meats we worry about bacteria and food poisoning. Also you have to be sure you balance the nutrients, especially the calcium/phosphorus ration. All commercial dog foods do this for you already. Anytime a client want to either home cook or start to feed raw I recommend they formulate their recipes through Balanceit.com. https://secure.balanceit.com/ I hope this helps!
