I appreciate the thoughts but no offense, I eat processed crap so I am not opposed to giving it to the dogs. The girls have been eating Science Diet all their lives no issues.

Our vets (the two now and the one we had before moving here) have all expressed that Maggie's history as a backyard breeder is very likely influencing her health. They cannot say for sure but they all felt it wasn't helping anything along. We do not know how many litters she had before being sold to us because "she just won't take". Heidi had a bladder stone which is why she is on special diet. She is pretty healthy otherwise for an inbred dog that is 7 years old.
