Why I'll Never Recommend Bakers #Dog Products Again (kinda FD, but PTMI alert)

I fed Kero on Bakers food and treats for most of his life. They were good quality stuff.

Note the use of the word "were" there.

You see, Bakers have a "new and improved" recipe, which was created between the time we lost Kero and the time we got Lilie. Except, it's not improved, which is something we only learned when we looked more closely in to what was in this new recipe after starting to give the food to Lilie when we first brought her home.

The first issue was that Lilie was - to put it nicely - having such an upset tummy that she was extremely sore from it. She seemed to always be pooping, and the irritation from that was causing her to bleed. The second issue was that she was also getting so hyper you'd swear we'd just given her a caffine loaded energy drink or something. Had it just been the second thing, we might have assumed she was just a very energetic puppy. But the first of those issues worried us, as I'm sure you can imagine.

It was suggested we switch her to an all natural grain fre food. The pet shop we use was even willing to give us a week's worth of free samples of their own version so we could try her on it. So that's what we did.

A change in diet can upset anyone's tummy - be they dog, human, or whatever - and yet there was an instant improvement in her tummy troubles. It's saying something when the tummy upset that's common with changes in diet is an improvement, don't you think?

There was some improvement in her behaviour too. I mean, she's still a puppy - this was all going on soon after we got her a couple of months ago, and she's only now coming up for five months old - so she obviously didn't suddenly become a perfect little angel. Yet there was some improvement.

Most important to us though was the fact her tummy troubles went away, and the irritation - and bleeding - she was experiencing due to them disappeared. She's been on the pet shop's natural and grain free food ever since, and her tummy troubles have never returned.

We've banned Bakers products from our home. I'll not buy them for any dog again, and won't recommend them to others either. I actualy threw away what we had left. I don't usually like to throw things away. Any time we've had leftover food I know none of my furkids are able to make use of, I usually give it to someone else who can make use of it. But I threw away the remaining Bakers products.
