Re: What do you feed??

I recently bought my first dog. I got her from a pet store because I fell in love with her and couldn't stand to leave her there. They made me purchase 2 months of food and I haven't really pushed any new food on her yet. She's been on Nutro Natural Choice, Small Bites for Puppy. She's a Silky Terrier, just over 9 weeks. I don't know anything about what food she should be on, so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Re: What do you feed??

I give my huskies the Enzymes, one a day. They are also fed Science Diet Adult Lamb and Rice.

I gave them some Alpo canned wet dog food today and I'm paying the price for it. My girl is in the kitchen sleeping right now and I can smell her butt in the next room.

What's worse is that my husband is in Iraq, and for a second I almost thought he was home.

Re: What do you feed??

Katie -- 3 yr old Beagle
Bo -- 8 yr old Beagle
Audubon -- 7 yr old English Pointer/Dalmation

All 3 of them get Purina Dog Chow mixed with Gravy Train cans

Jake -- 10 yr old Shih Tzu gets Hills Prescription Diet H/D for a heart problem

Blue -- 10 yr old Pit Bull gets Blackwood 2000

Callie -- 3 yr old min. dachshund has no teeth and she gets a large variety of the more holistic foods such as Solid Gold, Eagle Pack, Nature's Variety, Cal. Natural, Innova EVO, ect.

I am extremely confused so I really don't know what I want to feed them. At one point, all were on Wellness, then Natural Balance, then back on Purina Dog Chow. At the moment, I am looking at other foods like Canidae or Nature's Variety for them all to be on, but I have no clue yet.

Purina Dog Chow here. Plus they get either raw meat scraps or leftovers 1-2x weekly. Dogs look awesome, keep up weight/muscle tone beautifully, have easy whelpings ...

Re: What do you feed??

7 month old German Shepherd/Pit Terrier

Rotating Solid Gold Wolf Cub, Orijen Large Breed Puppy, and Artemis Large Breed Puppy until she is grown, with two cans of Trippett green tripe per week.

When she's grown she'll be rotating Orijen, Artemis, EVO, and Taste of the Wild in three month swings, along with the tripe.

Her health has come a long way since I adopted her two months ago! Much better coat too, and less stinky

Re: What do you feed??

I have used alot of different foods (great ones, too!) in the past, but currently I am feeding my 3 dogs (Stella - cavalier king charles spaniel, Lucy -border collie mix, Desi - shih-poo) Eagle Pack Holistic Select Senior formula. I will be using the Anchovy formula next, followed by the Lamb formula dry.
I also use EPHS can food as a topper. I use the chicken, lamb, beef and fish varieties. They are doing fantastic on this food! Always eat like they are starving (lol), nice coats, firm and few stools, good breath, bright eyes, etc.
They are happy and healthy and I am ecstatic!!

I feed my dog with canned dog foods. Sometimes, whatever food we eat,is also what they eat.

Re: What do you feed??

Each breed of dog has its own unique set of nutritional requirements. I feed my sweet natured pomeranian dog with fresh food such as Fresh chicken and turkey and beef, raw vegetables and fruits. Brown rice, oatmeal, yogurt, eggs, and cottage cheese.

3.5 year old mini schnauzer (rescue) Eagle Pack holistic fish
9.5 year old mini schauzer ( with bad teeth) eagle pack chicken and rice--canned

Re: What do you feed??

My dogs have had just about everything you can think of. At one point when I wasn't working, my husband fed my two boys pedigree. They were on soley raw at one point too. But now, they eat a premium kibble with canned on occassion and sometimes they get raw.

When they get raw food, they do not get kibble that day. When they get kibble, my older dog now has his wetted down and mixed with canned. My small dog does not like his food wet. They are all individuals and they all have their preference.

Almost everyday I come home from work with a can to add to the kibble. Foods I use that are canned are Old mother hubbard, Avoderm, Nutro, Solid Gold, Castor and Pollox, wellness, etc.....basically any canned food that does not contain MEAT meal or by product.

As far as dry kibble, I try to get them the best I can afford. They currently have Natural Balance in their food bin. I intend to refill it with Wellness supermix because it is on sale...AND it comes with a free 15 pound bag....PLUS my discount. I get stuff on sale when possible.

Yesterday they tried beef tongue for the first time. Its chewy apprarently but both dogs had no problem wolfing it down.

Oh and they also get table scraps that are safe for them...like steak and eggs, yogurt, fish, etc. They don't get onions or anything harmful. Yep, these dogs have it pretty good I would say.

Re: What do you feed??

Various prescription diets as they all have their various health problems. I'd love to raw feed, but they have to eat very specifically to not aggravate problems, as my mutt could die from any upset.

I can't believe people actually feed Beneful. I've never met a dog that it doesn't give horrible diarrhea and gas to. Has no one read all the allegations and lawsuits against them, and many other foods including Purina and Pedigree?

Re: What do you feed??

Pretty much every food out there will have a laundry list of complaints if you google it, Purina dry foods have never had a recall though...not that I think all of their foods are great, but I do feed Purina One and I'm happy with it. They've been on several different things over the last 2 years including premium, and this is the only one they all do well on. The puppy gets a raw egg on her food every morning too and they get meat scraps from our dinner if there is any. I'm surprised that so many people feed different foods to each of their dogs.
