Review on 🐢 Nutritious Small Breed Adult Dry Dog Food - Pedigree Chicken & Steak Formula by Beth Parker

Revainrating 5 out of 5

My kid loves the yellow sack!

I have small dogs and they really love this brand. I've made all the grain free products but I keep coming back to this brand and taste. I have a gang of 5 who I suspect are Clydesdale in a Basset Hound body but now I buy 2 large packs a month. find specific bits. Those are the only ones she eats. Her brothers clean up anything she refuses, so it works for us. My only complaint is a big one for my family. No resealable bag?!? Come on, it's 2020! Give us lightning! I do not empty my packs into the airtight container that I keep packs in due to a possible recall. Also, I need to buy a different type of specialty food for another member of my team and it needs to be in the same container, so I just keep them in separate bags and make it work. I don't dry feed him. Some of my team members prefer it that way, but I always add a moist homemade topper and let them choose what to eat. I can say from this practice that it doesn't just make its own "sauce" with water. It absorbs water very well if you have an adult pup that needs it. Also warms well. Yes, my dogs are so spoiled. Do not judge me. Now let's be real. poop! When I was 5 I saw all kinds of poop. I've had dogs all my life and I'm not ashamed to talk about them. If you're squeamish, scroll now. This food might make it a little harder for at least one of my gang to poop. He must heavily moisten this food, otherwise defecation becomes almost impossible. I don't add enough water to make it look like a sponge in the sink or whatever, but wet enough to be visible. As for the texture of poop, it's not the same as poop without the grains. It's a little harder than poop. It's not rock hard, but definitely has a bit more weight without a noticeable change in volume. I don't break kitchen scales with every deposit, but they look the same but feel heavier. The smell is also a little different and a little smelly. Yes, I know all poop stinks, but you get used to some smells and you know the difference. Cleaning is another thing to talk about because that's just life. This droppings will not "melt" in the rain like grainless droppings do. I clean my yard every night before dark instead of after every walk. I can do a scoop and a bucket stroke and it's ready in less than ten minutes. After a good rain I have to clean up with grain free food more than before. The prices make it much more affordable when feeding multiple animals and my vet really likes this food. I am concerned about cardiomyopathy and want to avoid any possible association with anything that could harm them. I do not advise you to follow this example. I urge you to speak to your veterinarian. One of my children went into liver failure almost overnight. It's awful and scary. Please speak to your veterinarian. Always check to make sure your baby is healthy no matter what you feed him.
