Hello all! My buddy is a 6yo male (11~lb) that had PU surgery about a year ago. I found him in the woods bordering a busy 4 lane road when he was 1.5 months old. He had multiple infections and a serious case of the worms. He got all fixed up and was healthy up until the weekend from h e double hockey sticks. His first blockage resulted in the surgery due to the fact that it was to far damaged from his licking and crystals. I though he was just sick so let it slide for a day and a half till' I knew he had to be taken to the emergency clinic. He has remained healthy since and is still a pleasure to be around. Now to the subject at hand....
Up until the surgery I didn't feed him the best of foods, didn't know any better. It was primarily dry with grocery store wet twice a day. After surgery I had him on C/d for the first month and then transitioned to EVO and Innova. He then grew tired of the Evo so I started giving him just Innova (C+T) in the mornings and Friskies Special diet (Beef+Chicken) in the afternoon and evening.. It has gone very well since then but I want to add new foods into the mix as I want more than 2 in rotation....
So that's where Triumph and Evangers comes into play. They are reasonably priced and offer a decent ingredients list. These are the two foods, one from each company that I'm considering..
