brincatmark Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Man those ingredients made me hungry!! Yeh both are very good Duck, duck meal, roasted quail, roasted duck, smoked turkey, . . . I wouldn't leave one crumb for Maya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazz Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 During growth periods, too much protein can lead to skeletal issues later in life. For that reason, I'd shy away from anything that is much over 28 to 32% protein. We feed Zoya Taste of the Wild. We are happy with the product. It digests quite well for her, her stool is well formed, and there's less of it which is good. Her coat is beautiful, and she has plenty of strength and stamina when it comes time to play and run. We switched her from Nutro Ultra Puppy when she was ten months old. Taste of the Wild is good for all stages, so making the transition from a "puppy" food to Taste of the Wild worked fine. Blue Buffalo Wildnerness is also an excellent food. However, I would not move to that until the dog was at least 18 months of age, only due to the amount of protein. It is also not grain-free, while Taste of the Wild is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huskyluv Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 During growth periods, too much protein can lead to skeletal issues later in life. For that reason, I'd shy away from anything that is much over 28 to 32% protein. It's not excess protein that causes skeletal issues, it's excess Calcium that effects their skeletal growth. Also, it's not so much the percentage of protein that you need to watch out for but rather the source of that protein. High protein foods are excellent for dogs and puppies, however meat based protein is easier to digest and easier on their systems than plant based proteins. Blue Buffalo Wildnerness is also an excellent food. However, I would not move to that until the dog was at least 18 months of age, only due to the amount of protein. It is also not grain-free, while Taste of the Wild is. Actually, Blue Buffalo regular is not grain free BUT Blue Wilderness is grain free. But you are right, Blue Wilderness is an adult food and should not be fed to dogs under 12 months. OH! im sorry thats the adult forumal of it one sec let me post up the puppy one on my 1st post! hmm is brown rice a filler? 0.o i kno bad fillers are like Brewers Rice, Rice Flour, Ground Whole Grain Wheat, Ground Whole Grain Sorghum, Corn Gluten Meal,Dried Beet Pulp,Iodized Salt, Grain in general is used as filler, however brown rice is considered one of the better grains. Also too, many (but not all) sibes are very sensitive to rice and cannot have it in their diets. Of your list of food from the original post, I would go with the first that you listed which was the Taste of the Wild with Duck. My second choice would be Blue Wilderness but again it is an adult only food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
