| jillrashel's Full Review: Alpo Prime Cuts Canned Dog Food |
I don’t know if anyone else out there has as picky of an eater as I do. My dog Balou, a red Siberian husky, will not eat dry dog food, he won’t eat most canned dog food, heck he doesn’t even eat the cat’s food. I have tried most everything to get him to eat and the only thing I know he won’t turn down is a Big Mac with no pickles…
Each time I go to the store to try something new (praying he’ll eat, he’s getting thin) I’ve tried Pedigree, Gravy Train, well…I don’t know all their names but I’ve tried them. Just last month I came across Alpo’s Prime Cuts. Like the others, I bought 4 cans as a test. When I got home I opened a can, put it in an actual bowl, heated it up in the microwave (he thinks it’s people food) then put it on his stand. HE ATE IT! I was excited, but then I realized, maybe he was just really hungry. So again the next day, but this time I didn’t heat it and you guessed it, he ate it. Later that afternoon I put the third can in his actual dog bowl and he even ate that. Two cans in one day…it was a miracle.
Before I could run out I went and bought five or six more cans. They are priced about even with the other dog food; at Wal-mart they were $.49, not bad if you ask me, still cheaper than a Big Mac and healthier too. My dog will only eat the amount in a small 13 oz. can, some dogs (and people) would prefer the larger size cans, and unfortunately I haven’t seen them for this particular brand.
As days went on I noticed him to be a little more active, not as sleepy and still chomping away. I generally give him a can in the morning, a can in the afternoon, and if he seems to want another then a can at suppertime. What ever he doesn’t eat I just wrap up and put in the fridge. The recommendation is that I feed my dog between 4-6 cans a day, but he won’t eat that much.
A bonus to this dog food, it doesn’t smell like normal canned dog food. It doesn’t have a nice aroma either, but it isn’t that gagging, nasty smell. I have noticed a difference in his body also; I think he has finally put on a few pounds to fill out into an adult. The Vet will be proud.
Here’s a little about the food itself:

So if your looking for a food to satisfy your dog, that won’t break the bank, that doesn’t stink up your entire house and is packed with vitamins too…give Alpo’s Prime Cuts in Gravy Canned Dog Food a shot. I think you’ll be impressed.
