That's good to know - I have objections to foods that have corn as a primary ingredient. That's why we have added Canidae to the mix. Baloo seems to be doing so much better with the Canidae.
BTW, he earned his CGC this past weekend. Yes Pat, I know. The brag check will be in the mail next week ;-) It's well worth it - this was the dog we "rescued" because his previous owners said he was "aggressive" and they were concerned.

I switched him to a high quality senior (they usually have lower protein) and the symptoms went away. His kidney values have stabilized. So, the caveat is to be careful when you use those 'prescription' diets. At a recent agility trial, he got another AXJ leg with a second place, 9 seconds under course time. The senior food hasn't slowed him down a bit! Marjie
