We were blessed with
a sweet rescue dog that was transported to us by the amazing TLS (The London Sanctuary) Transport Connection. She is six years old and heartworm positive.
The heartworms have caused her to lose a fair amount of weight over the course
of however long she has had them. It also doesn’t help that she has very few
teeth. She is a boxer/English bulldog mix. gingival hyperplasia is a common condition in
boxers, and Benny has the misfortune of suffering from this as well as very
poor care from her previous owner. The gingival hyperplasia (gum overgrowth)
coupled with neglect has rendered her nearly toothless. We have her on a
special diet of cooked sweet potatoes, wet food, and dry senior food. Most
often, I will mix the senior dry food with a can of wet food and ad some water.
Intermittently, I will also add mashed sweet potatoes and sometimes farm fresh,
boiled eggs to this mixture.
All this
being said, I am always in search of something to keep Benny interested in
eating. Not only do heart worms cause weight loss, they also cause decreased
appetite. She is in her third month of a slow-kill method heart worm treatment
and getting her to eat is vital to getting her well. I have tried many wet
foods. I mix her pills in with a handful of wet food to get her to take them
without a fuss. I believe I have finally found a food that I will continue to
buy. My search for the perfect food has ended!
I was
given a coupon for a free bag of food, case of canned food, or package of
treats from Natura Pet Products. I did a little research and decided to redeem
my coupon for a case of canned Innova Adult Dog Food.
I don’t
think I can say enough about the great quality of this food! The consistency is
soft, but not too mushy; very different from some of the rubbery wet foods I am
used to buying. The food smells amazing! It could easily be confused with a
gourmet soup. You can actually see the real food ingredients in the canned
food. IT isn’t a gelatinous blow that takes on the shape of the can that
contains it. The food is a blend of real whole foods. There are diced potatoes,
real whole grain rice, small chunks of carrot, many essential nutrients and a
generous blend of turkey, chicken, and herring. You won’t find any unnecessary
fillers in this food!
Benny now
gobbles up two full meals a day without any coaxing to eat. I have caught my
other dogs digging through the recycle bin just to retrieve the Innova can so
they can lick it clean! I am so excited to see our sweet rescue dog finally eat
a healthy amount of food. Here’s to a healthy recovery! Thanks Innova!
