    Try to get her to feed a brand of pre-made with only meat, bone and organ and to feed turkey necks or something once-twice a week.. they are GREAT for cleaning teeth.

    Also, they say in their FAQ's that dogs are omnivores - and that is a little misleading.

    "A. Cats are carnivores – meaning they must have meat in order to survive. Dogs are omnivores – meaning they can survive without meat, but only thrive on a high-protein diet. "
    I have seen that definition of dogs and cats before, mostly by cat only people....SOOO misleading for dogs and their owners....always pisses me off too!!!

    Dogs are classified as carnivores but do have omnivorous capabilities - and I see nothing wrong or innaccurate about what they included in their FAQ.

    I really like Vital Essentials for this reason and she can order some from our local pet boutique. My only qualm is that I like my dogs to have more variety than just beef, chicken and fish, so I think it would be good for her to also use some Primal and Nature's Variety simply for variety. Bravo too, though it's harder to find around here.
