German Shepherd puppy drinks a lot of water?




My 10 week old German Shepherd pup drinks a lot of water and doesn’t really eat. Whenever I give him food he just smells it and the look at me. I feed him IAMS puppy food for large breed puppies.
Yes I only feed him dry dog food. Whatnare some high quality dog meat food? I didn’t know there was any difference

Pumpkin OK? and how to switch from Iams to Canidae?




Is it fine to feed my 6month old shih tzu pumpkin everyday? She was constipated earlier this week, so I gave her some pumpkin which has allowed her to poop again. I give her about 1/2-1 a cup daily. Though, I have noticed if I don’t give her any pumpkin one day she cries when making a bowel movement as her poops are too hard and big. Should I just continue giving the pumpkin till everything goes back to normal?

Also, I feed my dog’s Iams puppy… but today bought them some Canidae that I’m going to switch them to, as I want them to be on a high quality dog food… my dogs are 4 and 6months. So how do I go about switching them from a crap food to something high quality without it bothering them?

Thanks!

I heard that IAMS among most other popular pet foods cruelly test on animals. (Purina, Science Diet, IAMS, Whiskas, etc.) What in the hell food am I supposed to buy? I don’t want to support cruel treatment, but the list I saw was of all the foods I’ve ever heard of. What can I buy and where can I go?
I’ve been using IAMs because I thought it was safe and high quality….
I have cats.

or is it better for her to just eat only IAMS which my vet recommended? Or can she eat only dry food which is on the same high quality level as IAMS? Can you suggest which dry food is on the same quality level as IAMS?

It stinks. Bad. And it has dirt all over it. And I’d rather not buy a new one, because this is a pretty high quality one.(it is made of nylon I believe, or whatever most cloth collars are made of..)
This collar wasn’t really cheap, it cost me . ;) Call me cheap, but its not something I want to replace before its time.

I never knew alot about "high quality" dog foods until I just got a new dog recently & started reading on the ‘net about it – I was shocked to see that most articles ranking top dog foods said that there is not ONE SINGLE dog food brand sold at common discount & grocery stores that is good for your dog. Most reviews seem to recommend brands like Canidae, Orijen, Innova, etc. I understand lower quality dog foods are full of fillers, grains, by-products, artificial flavors/colors, chemicals, preservatives, etc. It just boggles my mind there is not even ONE good brand that is highly recomended sold in our normal stores where we shop – have to go to pet stores, feed supplies, vets offices, and other specialty suppliers to get any of these premium brands ? I guess what bothers me too is why are we forced to go out and spend so much money on the premium brands? Is there no compromise of decent quality dry dog food at a reasonable price ?

Am I feeding my cats the wrong way?




I usually fill up their bowls whenever I see it empty (usually in the morning) and when I get home the bowls still have food. Is their a certain amount of food I should feed them, and how many times a day?

I feed them a mix of friskies dry food and wet food. Don’t judge me. I’ve tried some high quality brands and they just can’t seem to like it.
They’re not overweight, I just don’t want to be feeding them too little.
