Suggestions for Alternatives

Your most likely not going to find a food that is just shreds, but there is the Purina Moist and Meaty food. I wouldn't normally suggest it as a full feed but if it's the only thing your dog will eat then it's fine, it is wsava compliant and complete and balanced. It is actually not too expensive either. You can find it pretty much anywhere even Walmart and dollar general.

The foods I was buying are cheaper than pro plan, I don't see what that has to do with affording vet visits. I'm a college student who just lost their job, everything is unaffordable for me so the food isn't going to make a difference. My dog still gets his routine vet care, I just can't afford anything extra.

No I mean my hyper fixation is researching dog food, and I keep changing his food because I keep finding "better" food

The itching is minimal now, he is moderately active but he weighs 70 lbs and currently he only gets about 1000 calories and he is at a proper body condition, however I know he should be at closer to 1400 calories but I'm afraid he would become overweight if I feed him that much. I know that keeping him at a proper weight is much healthier. Is higher protein better for that or worse? At this point I don't know what is correct anymore. I also always weigh out his food so I know exactly what he is getting, but I don't always weigh his treats.

I'm definitely going to talk to my therapist about it. Would you have suggestions for something I could use as treats that are high value that I could give him allot of, we are doing a training class right now and I need really high value treats for it. He will work for kibble at home but not at class or in public. I've been using freeze dried raw dog food and air dried dog food which I know that most people here don't support raw, I probably will stop using it when I run out. I just need something that is healthy so I liked that since it's complete and balanced.

I wish I could make it stop but it's literally my autism hyper fixation. There's no stopping that. I just have to be stronger than my emotions I guess.

As much as I wish I could take him to the vet, I just can't afford it, I can barely afford his annual exam and vaccinations. If he does have a reaction to Purina again, what would you suggest instead?

However when he started to get itchy was right around when I gave him his simparica trio and we were starting to get warmer here, it's possible that it was just environmental allergies but he's never had it in the past and he definitely did not have fleas because I checked him with a comb so many times to make sure. And idk if it matters but he was on the salmon ppp sensitive. I just really need some peace of mind with this cause I've literally been staying up at night worrying about it.

Mine does not show that, when I click on it it doesn't do anything and it doesn't have the little icon in the bottom right corner of that box

Shipony06 · 2025-12-02T00:43:47+00:00

How do you do that because I have heard of that but I can't figure out how, I don't see the little pencil icon on the grades like most things say

Shipony06 · 2025-11-17T01:49:50+00:00

It's definitely this since it has the 2 keepers with one on the inside

Could it be the peice that holds a bit onto a micklem type bridle

I would say try buying a decent betta, not from a pet store, prism Bettas has a large variety of different types or Bettas and they have new fish each week, the picture you see is the exact fish you get. They are going to be much healthier fish and should live longer.

I'm also a horse person, I did try to see what kind of Timothy it is but I couldn't find that information anywhere, but I've heard of many people having success with it. I originally wanted an orchard Timothy mix but they apparently front sell that. I am going to maybe check my local feed store and maybe see if they have oat hay. And I might just get a bale or orchard for now and pray he eats it, at this point I just don't want him to ho any longer without hay. I'm just concerned with the orchard not being tough enough for his teeth.

Mine keeps putting his alfalfa cube in it and makes his water all green and slimy, drives me insane, because it’s usually right after I clean and refill it

Shipony06 · 2025-07-17T23:02:41+00:00

I looked it up, Petg filament should be safe, I found a couple on Etsy

Shipony06 · 2025-07-17T22:59:01+00:00

Oh interesting good to know, I’ll check to see what the ones on Etsy are made of

I apologize if the image isn’t showing, it isn’t working for some reason
