Annette Carter & the Borderbratz Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 Yes I have. I think they have new products out now since I last looked into them though- (like 1998?). The dry mix was recommended to me by my holistic vet in Louisiana to mix with fresh meat. Any products in particular you are looking at? I'll go look at them then and tell you what I think. My original cost comparison was that I could do better and now I don't think about it because I prefer not to feed any carbs and I don't feel my kids need fruits and veggies. I only have 4 dogs though so if I had more mouths to feed I might think about carbo supplimentation but I'd probably do that in the form of cooked sweet potato, oatmeal (made with brewed tea) and some pulped berries and mustard greens. It's a pain in the butt but if I had quite a few to feed I'd probably give them that mix for like 15% of their diet-just to keep the cost down.

Annette Carter & the Borderbratz Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 Oh Jeez, I'll bet I get the question about brewed tea so I'll explain it. Not very scientific. I have a friend who is Scottish (Vicki knows her )and after a trip home I asked her how they fed their dogs and she told me what her grandmother always raised her dogs on and they always lived to be very old. Oatmeal/porridge in the morning, tea (a saucer full) and bisquits in the afternoon and canned or fresh meat for dinner. I am a great advocate for tea (and berries)- it has lots of antioxidents and on average tea drinkers throughout the world are healthier people- especially those who do not overeat (The Asian people come to mind as a culture) My Japanese sense (Karate) is an old man who at 80 something years old was still competing and looked like he was 40 something years old- he always said, "eat little, but good, and keep your mind & body clear and calm" He said much else too but not applicable here.

SoloRiver Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 I used to feed Wysong kibble to my late Pomeranian. For most of her life, not knowing any better, she ate Nutro (which is kind of "meh" as far as foods go). She also had this chronic early morning vomiting issue that everyone else I knew with small dogs assured me was just a small dog thing, "empty tummy puke." Since there was never anything but bile in it I didn't think it had anything to do with her diet, but when I switched her (for other reasons) to Wysong, the vomiting magically went away. I know a lot of people don't like Wysong because it has soy in it, but hey, if your dog isn't allergic to soy I don't see any reason not to feed it. I don't feed Wysong now, but my Pom did very well on it. Wysong has a fabulous freeze-dried raw product called Archetype which is my favorite of this type of food (it's great for high-value training treats -- I think of it as "crack for dogs"), but it's hard to find and costs an arm and a leg.

jvw Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 I feed raw with occational kibble and Wysong is my choice. My younger BC is out for training until October but when he gets back I will probably just put him on Wysong. I can't keep enough weight on him feeding raw. I like the company's whole philosophy and its easy for me to get since they are in Michigan. JMO Jennifer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
