What makes Abound Dog Food Salmon a healthy choice? Learn about its key benefits for your pet.
Alright, let's talk about this Abound dog food, the salmon one specifically. I ended up trying it out for my old girl, Daisy. She wasn't exactly sick, but her coat was looking a bit dull, and she seemed to be scratching more than usual. Nothing terrible, just... noticeable, you know?
So, I started looking around for maybe a different food. Went down to the pet store, stood in that giant food aisle. Man, there are tons of options these days. It gets confusing. I saw the Abound bags, hadn't really paid attention to them before. The salmon recipe kinda jumped out at me. I'd heard fish oil and stuff like that can be good for skin and coat, so I thought, why not?
Didn't want to commit to a huge bag right off the bat. You never know if your dog will even eat it, or if it'll upset their stomach. So, I just grabbed one of the smaller bags of the Abound Natural Salmon & Brown Rice Recipe. Figured it was worth a try.
Got it home, and started the switch slowly. You gotta do that. Mixed just a little bit of the Abound salmon kibble in with her old food. Did that for maybe a week, gradually increasing the amount of the new stuff and decreasing the old stuff. Watched her pretty closely.
How it Went Down
Here's what I noticed during the process:
- Eating Habits: She ate it. Wasn't like she went crazy for it, but she didn't turn her nose up either, which was a good sign. She finished her bowl most days.
- Digestion: No tummy troubles, thankfully. Her poops stayed solid and regular. That's always a big relief when you switch foods.
- Skin and Coat: This was the main reason I tried it, right? After maybe a month, month and a half? I think her coat did look a bit better. Maybe a little shinier. The scratching seemed to ease up some, too. It wasn't like a magic cure, but it felt like an improvement.
So, yeah, we stuck with the Abound salmon for quite a while after that. It seemed to agree with Daisy pretty well. It wasn't the fanciest food on the shelf, and it wasn't the cheapest, but it felt like a solid middle-ground option that worked for her particular needs at the time. It did the job. She ate it without fuss, her digestion was fine, and her coat and skin seemed a bit healthier. That's pretty much all I was looking for. Just sharing my experience, every dog's different, of course.
