Robin: I have had experience with German Shepherds and have tried the raw diet as recommended by their breeder. For many reasons, I was not pleased with this diet. I eventually discovered Pro Plan sensitive skin and stomach and loved it.
Interestingly, when I visited Petsmart this weekend, I met a Pro Plan rep. I purchased the Royal Canin chi puppy food and brought home a Pro Plan brochure to review. Thank you so much for the recommendation. Which type to you feed to your dogs? --- In [email protected], GinbarMinPins <GinbarMinPins@...> wrote: > > Hi, I have 6 rescues of which 2 are Chihuahuas.
