I am trying to figure out what food is good for my baby! I was feeding him not the best food preformatrin and it worked really well for his bowel problems and he loved it . But now after his bowel problems are fixed he seems to get sick to his stomach and sneezing.... So I decided to change foods and go with something more raw and healthy.. So I chose natures variety instinct wet food. I also heard a lot about animals being allergic to chicken and thought maybe this might be a cause of the puking and sneezing.
It's the beef one 95% Beef & liver 5% fruits and veggies 0% grains and gluten .
It sounded pretty good to me so I bought a couple of small cans just to see if he likes it and we tried it out tonight. I opened it up and mixed it half with his old food . He smelt it at first and then gobbled it up and then cried for more. I'm still new at this so please let me know what you think :)

I bought a few cans of it - chicken, venison, and rabbit, to see if he liked anything other than chicken. Lets just say that he would sit by his food bowl and cry incessantly after gobbling it up. He loved it and I think he misses it. Probably should go get him more haha

My cats started with the canned and dry. Now they eat their frozen raw and dry. I love it, and so do they which is really the important part! My older dog eats their canned food It's a good food, and it's good for them too. The company should pay me for my reviews!!!

Hi Mommy

We have been feeding our 9 month old girl Natures Variety Instinct Duck since early Nov. We dont feed anything else except the occasional packaged treat. She has responded great. Small, hard, non stinky poo's, less greasy skin, clean ears and nail beds. She hasn't liked the other flavors we tried, so we are still searching for another type of raw she will tolerate.

New years resolution is to incorporate more real raw food into her diet, she is slowly learning that small uncooked and cracked chicken wings are food and not toys, and had some turkey liver and neck over the holidays....

We wont go back to commercial dry/wet...if anything prepared raw has turned into a gateway food :)

Your comment about it being a "gateway food" made me laugh out loud.
I've had the same experience. My boys eat premade raw, but my oldest now eats chicken meat, livers, and hearts 5 nights a week and chicken flippers (wings without the tips) x2 a week. He loves his nighttime meals, and if I felt more confident about making sure he was getting all the right ratios and vitamins/minerals I would go all homemade (and Winston would love it!!).

We used their dry food for a while and my babies did great on it but they didn't like their wet food lol. We eventually switched to evo wet & dry. Good luck hope u find the right formula :)

My breeder feeds Evo, Vito didn't do well on it. I was pretty disappointed, I thought it was a decent food.

We tried the wet, Vito is very picky and doesn't like most wet food. It didn't go over well. :sad:
