My dogs have a few health issues. Any suggestions? Could you also tell me how long a 4lb bag would last?
Full Question:
I am strongly considering switching my 4 dogs to this food (Thrive). Right now I am feeding 3 different types from Science Diet( Growth, Light, and Senior). I had previously fed Flint River but switched due to the cost. I was looking at the options for my dogs and I think the Thrive would be the best bet. I have a 3 yr GSD, 13 yr Golden, 19 yr Golden and 16 mo Golden. I would love to have just one food to handle but want the correct food also for their needs. My older golden has a history of skin allergies and my adult Golden has hip dysplasia and cataracts. Please advise. Based on the your feeding suggestions could you also tell me how long a 4lb bag would last? Thanks so much for any help you can give me!Starr

For any dogs with allergy histories, I recommend the 2 grain free formulas, Force or Embark. If your dogs tolerate grain, then Thrive would be fine also.

A 4 pound bag isn’t going to last very long if you are feeding this exclusively to 4 big dogs.
