We started Bailey off with Eukanuba lamb and rice dry food, but we found his mouth kind of foul and quickly infused his coat with the smell from liking himself. We were told that Science Diet smelled better, so we switched. However, reading the ingredient in detail we found Science Diet to contain predominantly corn meal, chicken byproduct meal, soy bean meal, and animal fat. That just does not sound very healthy for a top of the line premium dog food. In addition, dried beet pulp was one of the ingredient in Eukanuba and Science Diet and it stains his beautiful white beard. So we were on a quest to find an alternative dog food brand that would be healthier.
We finally found it, something healthier and no beet. It was introduced by Bailey's teacher. It is by a company called Natura Pet Products (based in Santa Clara, CA), and it's called Innova Puppy food. The 4 main ingredients are Turkey, Chicken, Barley, Brown Rice. The other ingredients are cottage cheese, tomato, sunflower oil, flex seed, potatoes, herring, carrots, apples, alfalfa sprouts, garlic and egg. The beet pulp which works as a stool hardening agent is substituted with chicory root which does not stain! All the ingredients sounds so yummy. We are quite happy with the results, his breath and poop is less stinky. Hurray pooper scoopers

Taking care of Bailey is just like a baby. All the care you put in to choose for the right food is so detailed. I was wondering at first how come Bailey's beard is pink in colour. Can the stain come off. Usually, beet cannot stain because I have been juiciing beet root and it did not stain my dish cloth. It could be the colouring of the food.
Bailey has grown and looks quite "macho" and cheeky at the same time. Playboy huh
Do you realize that Bailey dresses and eats better then me now? Hmm, what's up with that?
Ya mom, it's either the beet or the coloring from the other food that stain his beard. We bought this stain remover but have nto tried it yet, will try it on his next bath.
