May 2012

Feeding 3/4 cup of Nature’s Variety Instinct Chicken Meal Formula + 1/2 cup of home-cooked brown rice -twice a day.

This was the highest protein dry kibble we could find. 2 cups of dry brown rice cooks up to enough food to feed Ellie for a week.
Ellie's a 42 lb greyhound mix.

So far so good, but I'm watching the recalls very closely. I facebook-liked truthaboutpetfood.com. She keeps us up-to-date and is faster than the FDA site.
