Should I really be feeding my dog this?

My vet has me feeding my 8 month old Cockapoo/Bichon mix dry Purina E/N. When I started going there, I had him on all natural food. I can’t help but feel guilty about what I am feeding him now (see ingredients below). Should I stick to the Purina and obey by vet’s orders or not?

Ingredients (Dry)
Brewers rice, corn gluten meal, ground yellow corn, beef and bone meal, coconut oil, animal digest, beef tallow preserved with mixed-tocopherols (source of Vitamin E), dicalcium phosphate, glyceryl monostearate, calcium carbonate, L-Lysine monohydrochloride, potassium chloride, sodium bicarbonate, soybean oil, fish oil, salt, choline chloride, vitamin supplements (E, A, B-12, D-3), zinc sulfate, ferrous sulfate, ascorbic acid, riboflavin supplement, manganese sulfate, niacin, calcium pantothenate, biotin, copper sulfate, thiamine mononitrate, folic acid, pyridoxine hydrochloride, garlic oil, menadione sodium bisulfite complex (source of Vitamin K activity), calcium iodate, sodium selenite.

How do u freeze bloodworms to feed your fish? Do u put them in the fridge wen they r alive?

Well I have a female beta fish. She doesn’t eat the normal packed fish foods. All she eats are living bloodworms. As beta fish need feeding once a day, with worms u cant fulfil it as they remain in the tank crawling inside the stones. Plus bloodworms start rotting. It gets really messy..I feel very disgusted..So I thot of preserving them in the fridge..Hope anyone can help me out with this =)
I dont find frozen bloodworms in packs here at fishstores =( I only buy the living ones. And they all die :S ..however, I can buy dried worms from the store..But I’m worried if my beta fishy will eat it or not..because she is alwez searchin for livin worms in the bottom. She doesnt eat fish food at all..
My question is still unanswered. Do I freeze the living worms in the refrigerator?

How long can a young cornsnake go without eating?

I have 2 very young cornsnakes. There was a feeding mishap 2 weeks ago. Big Red grabbed a pinky out of Checkers’ mouth. I know that they are not to be fed together for that exact reason.

Checkers hasn’t eaten since, do they need to be permenantly separated? They seem to still get along with each other and are littermates (hatchlings… not sure what to call them).

They are still very friendly towards humans, but Checkers has taken to headbutting rapidly at hands. He hasn’t bitten anyone, but the gesture seems aggressive or at least very frustrated.

He looks at his food and appears to almost take it, but then suddenly turns away.

Any reviews on Pure Vita Dog Food?

I am a new dog owner and I want to give him the best care. Currently, I am feeding him Wellness but I have been looking to change it to Blue Buffalo because I have read wonders about it. Yesterday, however, our pet-sitter recommended Pure Vita. I tried to do some research on it, but I could not find many reviews. Do any of you have any input? Have any of you used it?
