Sick Dog

I bought the dog a different brand of dog food because when we had her in her training class a while back, the guy said this stuff was better for them than the kind we had her on (which is Nutro Ultra). Well, I feel terrible, because I should have weaned her over slowly. I knew some dogs can have tummy problems if you switch them to a new food cold turkey, and I just didn't think about it. Sure enough, she's been puking a bunch for the past couple of days.

That got me to wondering also if this new food really was better. She loves the taste of it and gobbles it down, but hey, kids gobble down candy, that doesn't mean its good for them. So I did some research into doggie nutrition today, and the Nutro Ultra isn't the best thing I could buy for her, but its a very good food. Healthier than the Bil-Jac which is what we switched her to. So, I'm going to go buy the poor little thing a bag of Nutro Ultra today and stop feeding her the Bil-Jac. Then I'll decide if I want to switch her from the Nutro, which is considered a "Premium" food, to one of the "Ultra-Premium" foods. I looked up some prices today, and the "Ultra-Premium" isn't any more than we were paying for the Nutro, so if I can get it in town somewhere, I'll probably switch her. But I'm going to do it gradually this time.

Fitness wise, we have some new goodies coming! I ordered Ian King's Get Buffed!, and I'm ordering Precision Nutrition tonight. I can't wait to read them, its like getting new toys!
