Has anyone tried Hill’s Science Diet Canine Mature Adult 7+ Savory Chicken Entrée Canned Dog Food
La Maya and La Bethulia’s aging dachshund has now lost even more of his teeth, so they’re going to be reduced to feeding canned dog food. They’re interested in ordering, since this looks like about the best price on the Web, but it’s unclear how much you get for the price. The can looks like this:
Let us know if you have a clue about the quantity!
I’m pretty sure it’s a case of 12. I work in a vet hospital, and will check when I get to work today and get back to you.
I noticed that this was on Amazon but sold by Pet Food Direct, which I used for cat food for years and years, so I figured I could maybe help. I went right to their site and searched for the product. The same price as on Amazon is revealed to give you twelve 13-oz cans. You can also get twenty-four cans that are half the size for six bucks more, which I don’t see as sensible unless it takes your dog a few days to go through a can (at which point the food might start getting weird texture after being stored in the fridge). I won’t post the actual link here because you said you’ve had problems with things being reported as spam, but just go to PetFoodDirect -dot- -com- and type in the first few words of your product name in the search box and it comes right up.
On their site, you can use a SITE15 code to save you 15% which I don’t think you can use on Amazon. But, you should probably check the total cost of both because I don’t know if shipping costs are varied. As I said, I bought from them for many years, and only stopped once my vet started selling me the food I needed for my cat at a slightly better price.
Let me know if you need anything else.
@ Carol & Money Beagle: Thanks! I’ll let them know. 🙂
says 12 cans if you scroll down a bit
@ frugalscholar: Thanks! Your eyes are sharper than ours. We found the weight, but neither La Maya nor I could find the number cans per case.
No, haven’t tried it. Never been a big fan of pate…
lol. I can’t believe nobody jumped on that earlier. We must all be way too serious… 😉
My mother supplements her old Carin Terrier’s meals with some canned salmon. There is a debate but if it’s not the main food, I don’t think it would be a problem.
Mom also dampens the dry food.
Costco carries a fantastic brand of dog food in some of it’s stores which I couldn’t find online called Nature’s Domain. It has no grains in it. It comes in Salmon, Turkey and Chicken. it even has blue berries for antioxidants but I buy the dry so I don’t know if it comes in cans. You must gradually switch them over even though they want to inhale it. I started off by giving it as treats.
We don’t use any commercial dog food.
We quit that years ago.
We raw feed.
Chicken, beef, pork and organ meats.
Treats, the Mrs. makes beef liver jerky and the dogs love it.
Time to feed puppy? Here’s a chicken leg uncooked bones and all.
You go little fellah..
Mr. Dusty our GSD gets a hefty thigh and leg and even our little Daschund pups were eating raw at 12 weeks.
Dogs are wolves in what ever clothing they wear now.
I say commercial dog food is poison for our pets.
Our dogs? Healthy and happy.
I left this to later.
The leftovers of what goes out after they eat raw.
It goes away quickly on the lawn and dries up and doesn’t get stuck to your shoe like the waste of the commercial dog food does.
I also feed my dog human food, but cooked. I don’t buy the theory that dogs are somehow magically exempt from pathogens.
And hold the bones.
SDXB insisted on giving my ex’s golden retriever a pork bone. Splinter lodged in the dog’s gum, made a nasty fulminating infection. God only knows what the ex had to pay to the vet to get that cleaned up…to say nothing of how much pain the dog suffered.
It’s worth noting that while wolves and coyotes do chew and swallow bones, at the same time they also swallow skin and hair. Dissections of wild canids have shown that bones are wrapped and padded by prey animals’ hair as they pass through the digestive system. That is not so with the meat & bones off the butcher counter.
Entirely true that dog mounds produced by feeding real food are far, far less obnoxious than the stuff that results from commercial feed. This is because more of the food is digestible.
