Dog Food Okay?

Postby Klaus » Mon Jan 07, 2013 4:13 pm

Hi,

I just acquired a 7 year-old blue tongue skink who's regular diet (for the protein portion) includes cat food. I bought him this brand of all natural dog food since it doesn't contain taurine like most cat food does. The ingredients are listed here:

But it does contain green tea extract, Inulin, Flaxseed Oil and Dried Kelp to name a few other things I don't think he'd come upon normally. Is it safe to feed him this? Is there another brand of cat or dog food that is found in Canada someone would recommend?

Thanks!

I have no idea if those ingredients are good, but many people (myself included) use Pedigree, some use wellness dog food, and there are many others like Blue Buffalo, etc. Use the search function and find the dog food threads...they are extremely comprehensive on who uses what, ingredients, and why we/they choose dog food over x, y, and/or z.
