PossumGirl Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I have a ten-year-old Border Collie who is allergic to brewer's yeast. This ingredient, unfortunately, is present in at least 90% of commercially prepared dog foods, including the super premium brands and the ones slated for "sensitive" diets.I've been using Burns, but the distributor who was nearest to us died tragically, and her business has not been taken over by anyone else. The other Burns distributor recommended by Burns in the UK is far enough away that the shipping costs make the food hideously expensive for us.Does anyone have any suggestions of a brand that they've used that works well and which, to their knowledge, does NOT contain brewer's yeast? I've tried home cooked and raw diets, but Maggie is a very difficult eater, and croquettes seem to work the best for her in the long run.Thanks.PG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PossumGirl Posted February 28, 2006 Author Share Posted February 28, 2006 Thanks for the info. Burns had sent me the info on Lifestyles and I did contact them, but the shipping charges from there to here really increase the price of the food.I may have no choice, however, if I can't find anything else that works for us.What would make it affordable would be if I could find someone in this area who would also like to order from them, then we could gang up our quantities to make the shipping charges more reasonable.PG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afy Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 IMHO feed the dogs a raw diet comprising of meat, meaty bones and organ meats... it is in my opinion the best for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renaud Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Our lurcher, who is capable of indefinate food hunger-strikes, finds cheap mince cooked with rice acceptable. A cheap chicken (also served with rice) also works out at a similar price to the equivelant number of tims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PossumGirl Posted March 24, 2006 Author Share Posted March 24, 2006 Honestly, I know she's odd, but my dog hates raw food and particularly raw meaty bones. I have tried several times over the years, and it just winds up getting thrown away. She'll go days without eating, then will pick at it, but leave most of it. I finally gave up.PG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
