I’ve had Madeline on California Natural for most of her 18 months because it was the only kibble that came in actual “large” bites, forcing her to learn how to chew on her food at least some of the time.  California Natural is also great for producing firm stool.

Madeline has always been on the itchy side, & for the last several months was scratching so often that she developed chronic scabs on the top & sides of her head.  I also noticed that Boomer was pretty itchy.

Recently both of them have gotten good at chewing their food if I crouch there & coach.  Meh, it’s something.  I decided we could try out normal sized kibble.

I initially bought a bag of Chicken Instinct because that was all the store had at the time, but read that some dogs have allergies to chicken.  We are now on our 2nd bag of Duck Instinct & both dogs rarely scratch.  Madeline’s scabs are almost all gone.

I do notice some really, really nasty farts.  But I can live with that.
