    My vet just really laid into me. I mean like a drill Sargent. I feel like a failure.

    Been feeding my dog grain free for years.....he's old and pretty healthy. He's 16 years old, mixed 32 pound pup. Well now the vet says he COULD POSSIBLY get some heart issues from grain free food.

    So what dry food? He is deadly allergic to sweet potatoes. Lots of dog foods have sweet taters! I try searching and my head spins like trying to decide on a Taco lift......cripes.

    We got the recommendation from our vet friends. Both our frenchy and boxer eat it without issues. Both are healthy looking even without as much exercise as they should get.

    I have my German on this for 8 weeks to verify food allergies. I’m pretty sure it’s not food allergies.
    Royal Canin ULTAMINO is some spendy food. This 8.8 lb bag was 57.00. You can get a 23 lb bag from online resources for 100.00.
    Still crazy feeding a large breed dog with this food....and my barn cats enjoy this food as well.

    This is what we were using before. Seems to be pretty good food with proteins that break down easily.

    It’s seems like every vet I’ve taken a pet to has always tried to force whatever brand they carried in office at the time, whether it be royal canin, hill’s, etc. No matter what pet I took and what kind of food I had them on.
