189. My dog got sick after I switched her to Nutro
it may be a coincidence, but maybe not. I did some research and found that Nutro was part of the dog food recalls, and also that it has about double the amount of zinc that dog food should have.

As soon as I switched her to Nutro, she began having excessive thirst and urinary accidents in the house.

Nutro used to be a good dog food, but with success, the owners sold the bus to a company that isn't
as good.

I offered my dog Merrick, but she wouldn't eat it.

So we're back to Purina One (chicken first ingredient) and canned food - trying Solid Gold Green Tripe. Green Tripe is a cow's stomach with partially digested grass in it. Supposed to be a real treat for dogs and easier to digest.

If you think about it, does it make sense for a dog (or cat) to eat 100% dried food?
They don't eat dessicated food in nature.

Who knows, maybe its coincidence, but at least my dog is feeling a bit better now.
