Health Extension Grain Free Duck & Sweet Potato Dry Dog Food (10 lb / 4.54 kg) – Lean Protein Formula with Turmeric & Antioxidants for Healthy Skin & Digestion

My chihuahua’s favorite
I have chihuahua who take picky to a new level. I’ve had some who were “real” dogs and ate anything that looked interesting. Not these two. About 10 years ago one developed a severe issue from which he almost died. I learned more about dog nutrition than anyone wants to know. But he lived well for another several years. Basically I learned to make their food. We’ve tried all the ones available that are “fresh”- they’ll starve first- thank you. Canned food can become a petrified lump. Wetting dry food can guarantee it will be ignored or shoved out onto the floor where it turns into cement on the floor. Ok, back to cooking. I’m single, love to cook but it’s no fun for one. Not wild about “tv dinners”- well, maybe 1 or 2. Now I’ve gotten lots of nutritional help from their vets but still you always wonder if they’re getting everything they need. So, the suggestion was their home cooked food with the dry on the side. I found this brand about 3 years ago and rotate through all available flavors. That chi who almost died?? They think he developed an allergy to his food. The one he got every day. That was the first suggestion, to change up ingredients as long as they seemed to tolerate their food. This review is actually about all the available flavors. I order the small bags and mix them together. Mine get a meat, 1-2 vegetables, a starch- they like potatoes and the different dried type beans. They might eat the broccoli first since it generally has a little cheese. But they’re going for the kibble between broccoli bites. Then the meat. Almost every meal is a bite of meat, a piece of kibble, back to the meat, etc. I’ve seen them leave part of the steak (nice steak, not shoe leather) and munch on the kibble. Then go clean off their plate a bit later. They turn up their noses at dog vitamins so I end up passing those along to someone with a real dog. If I sprinkle vitamins on their food they won’t eat the food. I called the company to ask questions and spoke with a really nice lady willing to answer all my questions. My kids had their annual health visit in November and got very positive reviews. Very healthy, thick shiny coat, clear skin, active and alert. My only complaint is the size packaging. Since mine go through 1-1.5lbs per month and I mix the flavors, the larger bags don’t work for me. I’m hoping they’re able to offer in between sizing at some point. In the meantime I’ll continue to rotate through and mix together the different flavors. Opening the bags the kibble always looks and smells nice. I’ve never had a moth spontaneously erupt from this brand like I’ve had from other brands in the past. My vet feels they’re getting adequate nutrition at this time. My chi’s are 10 and 11.5 and very healthy.

Like quality but not finish product
