Winnie is due to whelp at any moment. We like to pamper our pregnant females in every way possible--catering to their taste and other needs. A pregnant girl (canine or otherwise) can be persnickety. I think we can agree without reservation.

We appreciate having this opportunity. I think canned food is scarier than dry kibble. Recalls seem to happen more often. Even the frozen raw food has seen recent recalls. What is more important than quality control? Not much. I want to say that while Winnie was eating this food (and she is the sensitive Weimaraner and pregnant), she experienced no tummy upset. It seems appealing and the enticement to eat worked. Here is our little video talking about the food...

Those of you who follow us at OwyheeStar (across the Web) realize we use a bit of canned food. Typically, our pregnant females get some along with the regular kibble. The add-in food helps keep them eating more consistently. It is essential they eat, and let's face it--girls who are expecting have a finicky tummy. This phenomenon is not exclusive to canines.

We have used a lot of various canned foods. We are fully aware of what we see and smell when we open the can. Sometimes, we wish we had bought something different. (OMG) Another thing you will know from our Facebook updates, is there have been a lot of recalls--many of these were for canned food. It has been nothing short of shocking or shameful to read that euthanized animals were incorporated into some brands. In turn, this caused serious health issues, and sometimes was life-threatening. You can easily understand why we would care what is in the food, and even more for our pregnant girls. 

Since this review is all about honesty and being forthright, we have nothing against Purina Foods; however, we have never had good luck with their dry foods. When the opportunity came along to try the Purina Pro Plan Grain Free Turkey & Sweet Potato Entree, we jumped at the chance. The sweet potatoes have always proved beneficial in our experience. #ChewyInfluencer

When we opened the can, the aroma was much more pleasing than a lot of canned dog food. I must admit Deja Vu thought it was delicious. So, in our experience, this is an excellent wet food add-in. We know many folks like to give 1/3 of the meal in a wet form--this is an excellent choice. The sweet potatoes work like pumpkin--naturally digestive balancing. Isn't that grand? 

Finally, we want to thank Chewy.com for the opportunity to do this review. They provided the food (free of charge), and we share our unbiased opinion after using it. ​

So, we put them to the taste test. Dusty has a discerning pallet, and he is not quick to warm up to anything new. He was very cute about this treat. I think he loved the tr

​aditional bone shape and the fact that it was larger than the usual offering. Christina had never worked with Dusty. She had taken him for a walk, and they are friends, but he doesn't believe she is in charge of him. So, when she accomplished the nose-balancing trick, it was amazing. #Chewyinfluencer

When gas, diarrhea, or loose stools visit it is easy to freak. If you see blood or mucous by all means a trip to the vet and a fecal exam are warranted. Sometimes a loose stool is caused by a tummy upset or stress. 

The young pup is especially susceptible. Our environment is filled with parasites and they are opportunitic by nature. There is a reason they cannot be easily eradicated too! They have survived since the beginning of time. The most common culprits are Giardia, Coccidia, and Worms. The latter comes in many different varieties; but for the sake of this blog we will lump them together. 

Most of these (along with viruses like Parvo) are in the environment where our pups walk. Frequently, dog areas are the most infected. The one-celled parasite, the worm egg, etc. is easily injected when the Weimaraner grooms. One lick and they slide down the guttet into the perfect environment for reproduction. They can take off like wildfire. More often than not this will require medication--the type that kills good bacteria along with the intruder. 

You need to introduce good bacteria. One way to do that is by adding probiotics to their diet. Fortiflora is a good-to product available from your Veterinarian as well as online at Chewy.com. Above Dusty has a packet of the good-tasting tummy boosting FortiFlora. #ChewyInfluencer
