Dick Van Patten's Natural Balance
5
I have 2 mixed breed dogs (6 month old Boxer/Lab/Pit Bull, and a 13 week old Boxer/Australian Shepard/Pit Bull Mix) and when I got the 6 Month old, she was on O'l Roy Food, the cheapest food you can buy at walmart. She was sickly looking and didnt have much energy. I looked all over the internet for the best dog food (besided the raw food diet) and landed on this as recommended by one of my closest friends. I tried to do the switch gradually but she refused to eat the other food. She is on the lamb meal and brown rice formula and she has more energy and is always happy happy happy :) My 13 week old I got from a lady on craigslist when 9 of these puppies showed up on her door step. I got him at 8 weeks, and she gave me a little bag of what she was feeding him, but when I got him home to switch the food gradually (again trying) he would pick out my food and leave the other food. So once again, I threw it away. (I have no idea what type of food it is) To make a long story short these two dogs love the food I give them as well as some healthy veggies and fruits in their diets. I highly reccommend this food to anyone who wants to make their "children" as healthy as possible. (they still need regular check ups) The way I look at it (and this is my honest opinion) if you were a dog and only got one thing to eat (with a little varity) wouldn't you want your "owners" to research what food would be the best for you? It may be expensive but I feel my dogs health and well being shouldn't have a price tag. The best advice I have for ANY pet owner is to do your homework when looking at food. Don't just read the products web site, READ EVERYTHING ON THE INTERNET, and you can always do pet forums, and your vet is an awesome resource.
