May I suggest, that any of you dog lovers here... start making your own food. Every day that passes, my girl is acting more and more like she did at age 5. I know I post a lot of silly stuff here... but this I would not post this lightly. Brown rice, salmon, a little milk, two eggs, a little cooking oil, frozen peas and carrots. That's the ingredients. Her coat is beautiful, and she even jumped up on her hind legs yesterday. To get her breakfast as I was walking with the bowl. I kid you not. We're 6 months in with this. And fwiw, when her rear legs started going, it was the left leg first, she wouldn't put any weight on it, it was as if she was only using 3 legs. And then it became both rear legs. Now she runs, and goes outside with both rear paws flat on the ground. Make your own food. If your dog needs some kind of supplement.... figure that part out. But as I said above: 1 lb bag of brown rice cooked soft but kind of mushy, 1 can of WMT house brand salmon, a little milk, two eggs, a little cooking oil, frozen peas and carrots. Add salmon, frozen veggies, and eggs at the end. Stir it all up, put in fridge, and serve 2X/day. It'll be cold when you serve it right... so what you do is add just a small amount of (as hot as it gets) tap-water to it so it's at least room temp. Note, the runnier it is, the more you need to let them go out. It's just like us... drink a bunch of water and ya gotta pee. So runny is good, but let them out when they tell ya. Edit... I promise ya'll ... she'll make it to 17.
I was going to check to see if those eggs in the mix were organic, cage-free, from free range chickens, that layed their eggs while listening to Enya but nope, I could see that you would have already given careful thought to that. Nothing less for your girl. Ken, I hope you are reading this. This is what true love looks like. There's a message there for you.
Hahahha... It's funny you bring that up. I got in trouble with the eggs. they have a stencil on them... "Egglands Best" "EB" I kid you not. Whaaaaatever. "Regular" eggs will work fine obviously. But I just grab whatever is in there. It's like... who pays for those friggin eggs?! Case closed.
Yeah I know, it looks gross... but whatever... she literally gets younger every day. I am not kidding you guys. Maybe it's the weight factor, but she's 14 and it has to be more than that. It's pretty obvious though, and no breakthrough revelation on my part I guess... but if it works for dog's, imagine what a similar diet would do for us. Bon Appétit Ms Muttley.
