Hello,
I have a miniature Dachshund who is about 10 years old. She's always been something of a picky eater, but it seems to have gone to a new extreme and I'm just not sure that she's getting the ideal nutrition to help her life as long and happy a life as possible. Fortunately she is still quite active, has a sleek coat, and does not appear to be underweight (though she doesn't have anything to lose either).
To a certain extent I have been uneducated as far as grain-free diets, and I am only starting to learn more now. What I'm curious about is the fact that a lot of the "higher class" dog foods have all sorts of vegetables mixed in with them as well. Not feeding them grain makes sense because they're carnivores, but by that same justification, are all of these veggies really good for them too?
I would very much appreciate suggestions as to good dog food brands that are available at your typical Petco and are somewhat comparable to the prices of something like Purina Pro Plan (which is what she's been getting).
