mouseatthebusstop Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 never heard of it I would be interested to see the link :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
courtnek Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 It's one of a series that started with "chicken soup for the soul"...it's not really about food, but about emotional crises that can be handled without drugs and such. It's kinda like an inner-mind revelation, about how to handle day to day problems with "chicken soup"...it was always an old wives tail that chicken soup would help cure a cold, until it was discovered that the cooking of the soup actually released natural chemicals that WOULD help fight off a cold. I havent read the books, but my guess would be the one for dogs is also a revelation of natural handling and emotional things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 Its a great food. The Whole dog journal has it as one of its top dog foods. This is a very high dog food rating when the WDJ gives its seal of approval Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutt_Lady Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 I have a friend who feeds it and would probably swear by it. He says that he thinks it is the best type of food other than the BARF diet. Hmm. :question1: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ML Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 I use the Chicken Soup for the Cat Lover's Soul. My cats love it. They dont' shed as much and hardly ever have hairballs. I've seen it for dogs at the place where I get my dog food, but I've never fed it to them. It's made by the Diamond Company (dog and cat food).

TDG Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 chicken soup is a decent food. i wouldn't rate it quite as high as many other high end foods due to some statements diamond makes (or doesn't make) about it, but nevertheless it's a quality product. as for [quote]The Whole dog journal has it as one of its top dog foods. This is a very high dog food rating when the WDJ gives its seal of approval[/quote] i have to strongly disagree. first of all, a food being approved by the Whole Dog Journal means that the food has been reviewed and recommended by this magazine. nothing more, nothing less. there are other quality products out there that were not recommended, simply because they have not been reviewed. so take it with a grain of salt, it's not the "be all and end all". the ingredients determine the quality of a product, not a magazine recommendation. second, there are no differences in the Whole Dog Journal ratings, meaning they will [b]not[/b] recommend one food over another. a food is rated and either gets approved or not.

Aroura Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 It looks like great stuff! I've never heard of it before, but would certainly feed it as a BARF substitute if I went away on holidays or something. Its got all the good stuff in it thats hard to track down otherwise :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aroura Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 Well it does look good - I'm no advocate of comercial food; especially tinned food! But if I could get it here I would probably feed it to my dogs on occasion for something different :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horsefeathers! Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 I like it as an alternative food and it's much more readily available than Canidae or Wellness, or any of those. When I can't get my regular foods, I will buy it. For whatever odd reason, though, my gang is not that crazy about it. They aren't generally picky dogs, but they don't eat the Chicken Soup food with the same enthusiasm as the other foods. Dunno why. What's even stranger is that my cats do not care for the Chicken Soup brand of cat food, either, and all but refuse to touch it. :-? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferky1 Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 I have been feeding Miles Chicken Soup for the Dog Lover's Soul for the past few months now. One day Miles decided that he hated Cannidae (he went on a hunger strike and wouldn't touch the stuff) and we experimented with Innova but it was too rich for the little guy. We decided to give Chicken Soup a shot based on its great ingredient list and recommendations from others. Miles loves it and everyone is happy. He poops less than when he was on the Cannidae and Innova (you don't want to know what he was pooping while on Innova!!!), he has no gas (that we know of) and he is healthy, shiny and active. It is also less expensive than almost every other "high-end" food we tried. Ingredients for the adult dog version: Chicken, turkey, chicken meal, turkey meal, whole grain brown rice, whole grain white rice, oatmeal, potatoes, cracked pearled barley, millet, chicken fat (preserved with mixed tocopherols), duck, salmon, egg product, flaxseed, natural chicken flavor, kelp, carrots, peas, apples, dried skim milk, cranberry powder, rosemary extract, parsley flake, potassium chloride, salt, choline chloride, dried chicory root, vitamin E supplement, iron proteinate, zinc proteinate, copper proteinate, ferrous sulfate, zinc sulfate, copper sulfate, potassium iodide, thiamine mononitrate, manganese proteinate, manganous oxide, ascorbic acid, vitamin A supplement, biotin, calcium pantothenate, manganese sulfate, sodium selenite, pyridoxine hydrochloride (vitamin B6), vitamin B12 supplement, menadione sodium bisulfite (source of vitamin K activity), riboflavin, vitamin D supplement, folic acid.

They picked around it and just ate the old food out for about 2 weeks. Then when the old food ran out and it was all they had, they started eating it (really picky at first...wouldn't even empty their dishes). Right when I was about to give up and try a different brand, they started scarfing it down like there was not tomorrow :stupid: Cats are so weird. Who can figure them out :confused1: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
