We adopted our miniature Schnauzer in February 2012. His foster family had been cooking for him, so he just did not like dry dog food (we tried all of the recommended brands). We discovered Sojos in November 2012, so he has been eating it for almost 3 months now. He LOVES it, and gets so excited at meal times. He gobbles it down in seconds flat, which is great. He was doing so well with it, but a few weeks ago, I noticed that he seemed absolutely RAVENOUS all the time. Even after gobbling down his food, he'd lick his bowl for a long time after, and still appear to be hungry. He seemed extra hungry throughout the day, too. I finally ended up mixing the Sojos with another high-quality dry dog food, and now he's happy AND satisfied. I just wish I didn't feel the need to supplement, because the Sojos is pretty expensive alone. But if it makes my dog so happy, I'll continue, at least for now. But there are a few things I am not too crazy about:
1. The Sojos seems a little light on meat content, although it's difficult to tell. Because it's freeze dried, it's hard to tell what's what. It almost resembles Stove Top stuffing before you cook it. The carrots stand out, but other than that, it's hard to tell exactly what's meat and what's not (I suppose if I examined it closely and took the time to sort through it and make sure each bowl had enough meat, but...no thanks! :)
2. Because it's hard to tell 'what's what', I can't be sure I'm giving him a balanced meal each time. The bag does say to shake to combine ingredients, but you still can't be sure it's being combined in the right proportions. For example, when I scoop it out and add water to prepare it, I'm not sure what the ratio of meat to veggies is. My guess is that my dog was hungry because on some days, he was probably getting little or no meat. Mixing in the dry food helps, but again...when you pay so much for food, you shouldn't have to supplement. I wish there was a way to ensure you were getting the right balance.
