I'm sorry Bane has been so sick! It sounds like the Rachel Ray food you gave him may be the cause of this vomiting, as a sudden change in diet can cause these symptoms. The food itself could be causing the symptoms as well. Given that he is still vomiting and won't eat, it's best that Bane is seen by a vet right away. He may need anti-nausea medication to stop the vomiting, which the vet can give him. In addition, because both your dogs experienced vomiting from that food, I would not feed it to them any more. I personally never recommend feeding dogs grain free food unless they have allergies. Dogs do need grains, they are beneficial to their health. I recommend feeding Royal Canin, Hill's Science diet, Purina ProPlan, or Iams.

Hello. Any of the 3 will be fine. The problem with all 3 of these companies is they do absolutely no true feeding trials with their diets. All of their information comes out of a laboratory. There are basically only 3 companies that do actual feeding trials on living dogs, Hills, Royal Canin & Purina. If you want the best go with these, otherwise, any of the 3 you mentioned will be fine.

Hi there. I normally recommend feeding a food like Royal Canin, Iams, or Purina. These companies have a great deal of research behind their diets to prove that they are complete and balanced, and provide appropriate nutrition for whatever age or life stage the food is labeled for - puppies, adult dogs, seniors, etc. There is no particular benefit to feeding a grain-free diet unless your dog happens to be allergic to some type of grain, which isn't very common - most food allergies in dogs are to proteins such as chicken, beef, etc. If you think that Gary has food allergies, you may want to talk to your veterinarian about doing a diet trial with a prescription hypoallergenic diet such as Purina HA or Hills z/d.

Every dog is a little different and you may have to experiment a bit to find the food that Roscoe tolerates the best. I don't know what your budget is, or what is specifically available in your area, but here are a few brand options: Natural Balance Taste of the Wild Merrick Canidae Most of these brands offer grain free treats as well.

I personally would choose a food like Iams, science diet or royal canin over rachael ray simply because these companies have been around for a very long time and have done a lot of research to back their products. Some of these newer foods or "boutique" foods do not properly research their products and therefore, aren't as high quality as they claim. I would just tell your sisters this and see if they would be willing to switch. If you do decide to switch her to the new food, I would slow transition her from the old food to the new food over a 10-14 day period to prevent an upset stomach. I hope this helps!
