		<title>Dog food... dry or canned?</title>

		<description><![CDATA[
			<p>I have a 1 1/2 year old Boston Terrier, Darcy.  She has been eating Innova since I got her when she was 11 weeks old.  Lately I feel that she isn't eating as much as she used to or as much as she should be.  She is very active and healthy, she also gets regular treats and we try not to give table food, but once in a while she gets a &quot;treat&quot;.  I was thinking about mixing some canned food in with her dry food but I'm not sure if it's a good idea.  Any advice?<br /><br />				ASKED BY

		<title>Can I Feed My German Shepherd Puppy Adult Dog Food?</title>
		<link>http://www.dogster.com/answers/question/can_i_feed_my_german_shepherd_puppy_adult_dog_food-37010</link>
		<description><![CDATA[
			<p>Hey Everyone, 

I have been told several times that I should now be switching my 5 month old German Shepherd to adult dog food, so I finally looked it up on the internet and some sites seem to say that its better for the puppy and some say it’s a big no no!  
 
The sites for it say that it aids in slowing down there growth so it's not so hard on their joints, and it better in the long run for large breed puppies as they are supposed to mature much slower then say a small breed puppy. The other sites say i would be depriving my puppy of needed protein so his growth... 

So what are your opinions on the subject! 
Thanks!!

			<p>He loves the food, getting up at 3 or 4 am is killing me!
He's been on the food about 8 months, long enough to get used to it. I hate to change it as my dog is 12 and does seem to like it. Also anyone know if it is salty? His bowel movements are normal<br /><br />				ASKED BY

			<p>Recently my dogs have been chewing like crazy. We were wondering if it could be that Pedigree changed the adult food. They do not have fleas and we know dry skin is common this time of year but they are constantly at it. We haev tried anti itch spray and nothign is helpign. The only thing that has changed is the food ingredients. What can we do to stop this? any help? thanks<br /><br />				ASKED BY

		<description><![CDATA[
			<p>I'm feeding my mini dachshund Blue Buffalo for puppys right now. I feed him 1/2 cup twice a day. He eats most of it, but will leave half or less sometimes. He will always eat all of it, if I mix a little wet food in with it. I've mixed Prescription Science Diet with the dry, because I had it left over when he had an upset stomach. He just loves the wet food.  Is it ok to mix a little wet food in with dry? Any suggestions on a dog food that dachshunds particulary like? The upset stomach was from always picking up fuzz and string. He had diarrhea from it and had to eat wet food for a few days, I've also noticed his poop has been softer whether he eats just hard food or soft food. <br /><br />				ASKED BY

		<description><![CDATA[
			<p> I just started feeding Natures Variety a month ago. So far so good we love it. We are currently feeding the prairie chicken meal and brown rice. The company encourages rotation, so Next week I'm going to buy the beef meal and barely. and rotate those two since they are the most affordable flavors. (venison and salmon are crazy expensive)

 It has more calories then the chicken (390 for chicken and 430 for beef)so should I reduce his portions when feeding this one? I'm feeding 1/3 cup twice a day of the chicken, should I go down to 1/4 cup or keep it the same? thanks<br /><br />				ASKED BY
