      My Jack Russell has a very sensitive stomach so we’ve put her on Purina Pro Plan Gastro food. I just use hot water to soften it as she is 14 now and struggles with hard food.

      I give my boy a variety. Winalot pouches…both jelly and gravy. Bakers small dog. He loves tinned Tuna in spring water and also tinned pink salmon we share! Sometimes I cook lean mince for him with some veggies in it. My last Jack was 18 when he went over the rainbow bridge in his sleep.

      Science diet dry kibble. My JR passed at 181/2 and that is basically all he ate!

      I only feed mine lamb and brown rice. You can get it either in dry form or canned. She has been on it for the last 10 yrs and has done really well with it. She is 15 yrs old now an still likes it.

      I feed her cooked chicken livers and Pro Balance small bites. She only gets a small handful because she doesn’t eat a lot of it at one time.

      Wagg working, chicken or beef.. Add a little hot water, and mix it up… She’s never complained.

      Fromms “Whitefish and Potato” we switched 8 years ago and never any itching or skin issues or digestive issues for our 2 Jacks who are almost 15 years old….and they love it…we throw some green beans on top.

      A WSAVA approved brand. There are only 5. Eukanuba, Iams, Royal Canin, Hills Science Diet, Purina Pro Plan. I feed mine Hills and they love it and are doing awesome. (I lost my baby girl to grain free kibble).

      I’ve changed mine to butternut box bit more expensive but worth it. His coat is lot better and he seems a lot healthier on it. He’s 15 now.

      We switched ours to the Farmers Dog. He is diabetic and had been on Royal Canin glycobalance for the last 5 years and he just took a dislike to it. We researched and checked with the vet and it was ok to give him The Farmers Dog. He loves it. He’s 14 and has been diabetic for over 5 years.

      Nulo! They’ve never had a recall. I also top his kibble with freeze dried raw, broth and kefir. High quality kibble and adding toppers is my go to!
