I, too will be eager to hear more about this.
Guess I just got glad I have SC's. I will not be trimming bottoms!
Do any of you mix ZP and S&C? In a dish together, not just in rotation? I'd appreciate hearing about that. I bought a bag and am unsure how to use in terms of measurement and such. Thought I'd try when I am off for Christmas long break in case Hope has issues.

Butt trimming is really a pain! I have to do Lion a lot and he hates it.. I mix ZP and SC, no problems here. I usually just give half and half.. If it was a meal I would say 1/2 a patty and a pinch of ZP or so, for my dogs at least. Since your girls are smaller they may need less. |

Thank you! The only thing that I worry about is that they about melt down now while I scoop out the ZP and add water. Waiting for anything to rehydrate will be interesting!
Heather-how did things "come out" with this new food? I am curious to hear!

Things came out ok! No soft or runny poos. They may have been a bit bigger & a couple I could actually tell it was a GL food poo because it was a tad "colorful" (I expected where the veggies weren't all the way broken down we'd see some whole pieces come out). LOL Other than that I couldn't really tell for the most part the difference between the GL & ZP poo since I only "scoop" every few days. As for mixing ZP & S&C's...I have mixed it before. I've taken 1/2 serving size of S&C's, 1/2 serving size of ZP, their supplements & a bit of water & mixed it right up. Looks pretty nasty but they didn't care & scarfed it right down.  And yeah...that is a downfall to rehydrating foods. Though the Chi's haven't been too bad with this food maybe because I have a different "system" than I did before? Now I sit on the floor & prepare their food with the bowls at an arc around me. LOL They sit on the couch & watch & wait patiently (for the most part!). LOL Louise...want me to send you some so you can try it? ;D |

Heather-how did things "come out" with this new food? I am curious to hear! It doesn't need much time to rehydrate. I crumble up the patty with my fingers, put some warm water on, and then give it to them . |

Just wanted to give a little update. After the pups had been on the GL for 3 days (still was waiting for our ZP!) Matilda developed a few bumps/scabs on her head. They've been back on ZP for a few days now & it seems to be getting better. She must have had a little reaction to *something* in the GL. Nobody else had any issues with it though & I'm wondering what it could have been as she didn't have that problem in THK. The chicpeas maybe? I don't think THK has chicpeas in it... I'll have to do a little research I guess to see what the different ingredients are just out of curiousity. Anyway...just a little update.
