Alright. I have a friend with a dog (some sort of fox hound). She was eating Blue Buffalo, chicken formula (previously on Purina 1). She is prone to staph infections (as is my dog). She was eating BB for a long while - probably close to a year, with no problems.
Recently, she started vomiting. She's been to the vet - clean bill of health. Of course - vet wants to change food - pref. to science diet. I told her she better not dare! We are discussing the possibility of a food allergy - or food intolerance. BB has a lot of ingrediants. She's been on a bland diet for a week or so now, and she's starting to add in the BB (so far so good) I think she's almost solely on kibble now, with just a little cottage cheese (as per her vet) mixed in.
Now. In case the vomiting starts again, I said I'd look up some alternate food choices. We have a lot of little food stores around, but she is leary of some of the owners (in our line of work, you hear the good/bad/ugly of everyone in the pet industry). There are some near by that she will shop at - so I would say we have a pretty good access to most.
She will not do raw, and I doubt her hubby would go for homecooked. I talked to her about a trying a fish formula - and she seemed ok with that. She will not do rabbit, deer, buffalo, etc. (her personal choice, not mine!)
any ideas, food experts? :)
