In reply to: Denise 's message, "Can you compare the fiber and protein content for both foods? If Purina is higher fiber and/or protein then she may not need as much food. Is she eating the amount it's recommended to feed her on the package? Could be summer too. No one here is eating as much. If it's just her food amount and she is acting OK otherwise then I'd say "don't worry" but I know that is easier said than done. Keep us posted! Saying a prayer!" on 10:07:12 am, Tue, 07/24/07

PS..I opened the closet where her treats were and she sure got itnerested in them..so she does have an appetite...just, it seems not for the Purina One????
our heat wave has broke, so I really don't think it's the heat..and anyway, even when it was really hot she rarely every leaves a piece of food in her dish..let alone a whole feeding!!!! (NT) -- Kate, 10:16:05 am, Tue, 07/24/07
She doesn't need a senior formula. Some senior foods are softer and easier to chew and for that reason it might help some but I don't feed senior cause they usually lower the protein. Mine really like Natural Balance (ultra or premium, don't remember exactly what it's called) and Royal Canin Special used to be a favorite but when they added corn back I quit feeding it. I don't like wheat or corn in the food. I've found sometimes it's the change in kibble shape that puts them off too. (NT) -- Denise, 10:30:06 am, Tue, 07/24/07
Can you normally buy Natural Balance at the grocery store or at Wal-Mart? I'm afraid that is about the only places I have here to buy my food...??? (NT) -- Kate, 10:55:53 am, Tue, 07/24/07
Just looked on-line,
looks like Natural Balance is out of the question..the closest place for me to find it would be over 1 1/2 hours away.... (NT) -- Kate (again), 11:03:34 am, Tue, 07/24/07
I didn't know you lived in the boonies like me! Do you have a feed supply store? hmmmm..... (NT) -- D, 12:24:09 pm, Tue, 07/24/07
