Natrual Life

I was in Walmart and saw some food called Natural Life. I read the ingredient list and was pretty impressed. I checked it out on the web. No wheat, soy, corn or any allergens. It is a lamb and rice formula. Has anyone heard of this? I had also started feeding Sasha Blue Buffalo large breed puupy, but she has diahreah (SP?) everyday! Need to switch and was actually considering this Natural Life food! Suggestions?

with any dog food, just make sure the FIRST ingredient listed is a meat source (not a meat byproduct) and not corn or grain.

i will enthusiastically recommend innova (green) bag to anyone and natural balance for allergy dogs. there are other good brands out there. you just need to do your research.

Sashabug - I tried bluebuffalo to - Runner's stomach is often gurgly and he wouldnt eat - well, the bb made it worse - I think it was TOO rich for him - From Anne's suggestion, I've started supplementing him with seacure tablets and I now feed him Nutro natural chicken rice and oatmeal for sensitive stomachs - he has improved 100% - and stools are firm - you might want to look into the seacure for animals

Do you think the seacure would help with gas? Regardless of the food, Riddick seems to be really gasy. I feel like I have tried everything and nothing really seems to help much.

It might help - here is the link http://www.onlynaturalpet.com/products/Proper-Nutrition-Seacure-for-Pets/114001.aspx

Neither one of mine have ever been gassy, so I dont know - but I do know that Runner is feeling a lot better and his stools are not as soft as they were.

Good luck - My first weim was gassy like that - she could clear the room!!

Good Lord! This food thing is killing me! I tried the Natural Life she did well for a while, but the diahrea(sp) is back! I'm beginning to wonder if it has something to do with the lamb. That is the only kind of food I have bought her, so I'm going back to the nutro for sensitive stomach. I hope this works! She has eaten the Nutro before and did well, but me being the crazy mama that I am I switched food! I will say that I was impressed with the Natural Life food itself, but apparently I have a picky baby!
Thanks for the responses!

I ran out of the Solid Gold Wolf King, which I had been feeding and had to run to Petsmart to get something to stand in until I could make it to the feed store. I went with Blue Buffalo, it was the best of what they had to offer. The boys have been on it for a week and they have terrible diahrea. I feel so bad for them that I am just getting rid of the rest of the food because they are pooping constantly. I know someone had posted about this food before, but I will have to agree, stay clear. I think it might be too much for their systems. I could understand soft stools, but this is like liquid. Sorry to be graphic.

Right now I am feeding Dorian Nature's Recipe from PetCo, which he does really well on. If you need something inexpensive to hold you over, you might consider giving it a try.
