Guest guest Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 I have two dogs, and I am struggling with their diet. I have found a vegetarian food made by Wysong, but it said it is only for supplemental feeding, meaning that it doesn't meet all their needs I am guessing. And I know this will sound terrible, but I have found that over the last three years of feeding them meat-based food they do not ever have that "doggie" smell. When I switch them to the grain based foods that I have found available here, they have started smelling in pretty short order. So ... any advice, please? Thanks, Sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
