What is a good diet for a lhasa apso2007-11-25 2:52:22

Notice how the better food has more meats, less grain, and no by-products than the other brand? That's where to start looking for what food is higher quality. Also be aware, just because it's expensive doesn't mean it's a good food.

Also keep in mind, with better quality food, the dog will eat less. (And that also means less poop to clean up in your yard!)

Another thing to be wary of: A lot of vets will recommend what they sell in their office. They get profit from the brands they keep on their shelves, that's why they push it. Truth is, vet schools don't focus a lot on nutrition. It's not saying that a vet is a bad vet because he recommends those foods, a lot of vets just are told "this is good food", so they pass the message along without proper nutrition knowledge. Also, some dog food brands (like Hills) support vet schools, so vets have heard of it from the time they start college, which makes them think it's good as well.

When switching foods, do it slowly. I do this over about a two week timespan:

25% food A, 75% food B

50% food A, 50% food B

75% food A, 25% food B

100% food A

Science diet sells age specific formula's. They are one of the few pet food manufacturers that did not have a recall. Since I've put my 12 year old chihuahua on it she has rebounded from a heart condition. Dogs cannot handle the complex carbohydrates of human food.
