Greetings from Austin, TX

Hey there all,

I am the proud owner of a 6 year old yellow lab named Waylon. I am single with no kids (yet) so he is my baby.

So glad I found you all. I have been feeding Waylon Iams for years now thinking I was doing the right thing for him but I recently came across some really shocking info on what is in these foods. I am embarrassed that it never occurred to me before to investigate. My vet always said Iams was a great dog food.

So, I am switching him to a better quality food. I want only the best for him, as I am sure you all do for your pets. I am interested in what other lab owners are feeding their dogs. Open to any and all suggestions.

Looking forward to scouring the forums and to being a part of your community.

Thanks for having me. Sarah
