what kind of dog food do you buy

drfong · 05-26-2006, 12:52 AM

we feed iams puppy, small breed.
dj360 my groomer told me about the chicken soup for the dog food. She has been showing/handling dogs for a long time and said that it was really good and inexpensive, you can get it at cosco. When I get them off the puppy food, I'm going to check it out myself.

My dogs eat Timberwolf Organics.

drfong GOOD CHOICE! IT REALLY IS GOOD, IT HASE THE TOP INGREDIANTS IN THE RIGHT % AND EVERYTHING.

In the right % for what type of dog?

eley · 05-31-2006, 02:43 PM

Nutro max, large breed puppy

i use that dogy soup thing, my dog had trouble adjusting to it at first, but now he's ok. it really is good. the ingrediants are the specific order their supposed to be in, for a top quality food.

curbside, that was the answer right there to ur % question. so i basically dont need to say, because buffy said it....and by the way buffy when you say doggy soup stuff...do you mean chicken soup for the dog lovers soul?

BUFFY · 06-04-2006, 12:24 AM

yeah...what ever.

That doesn't answer my question. Don't bother, it's as clear as mud.

BUFFY · 06-04-2006, 10:52 AM

here curbside, since im bored, ill explain. it's not in the right percentage for any specific breed. it's in the right percentage to give any dog healthy gums, teeth, bones, and fur. but it obviously cant do much about ltos of diseases, because then it woud start to become more specific to breed, like your thinking....get it? cause thats all i got.

Right now, my dog eats Pedigree. Personally I do not want her to be eating this food, because I believe there are much better choices out there for her. I don't have much of a say in it though, because right now we live with my grandparents and they buy the dog food.

When I am the one buying the food, it will most likely be something made by Nutro. I still have some research to do with all that though.

My dog, and my grandpas dog both do fine on pedigree, btw. I just believe she could be eating something healthier.

oo oo, she's a big fan of regualr chicken and rice. I am to, so thats a win win situation.. lol.

You may want to consider this: http://www.dogfoodproject.com/index.php?page=menadione. As a precaution, I took my pup off Nutro Ultra, because it contained menadione sodium. I currently use a product by Eagle Pack...at least until I discover something bad about that brand.

Cheetah · 06-05-2006, 06:37 PM

Also, Canidae, the food mine are on now, is about the same price as the Natural Choice, but with higher quality ingredients which is why I switched (I can't remember if I even mentioned switching her or not but I did since I discovered a few things about the Nutro Ultra that I disliked). >@_@<

Ew. Anyways, I've heard of Eagle Pack before, and I was going to read about it.. I just never got around to it I guess. Maybe i'll go ahead and do that now. Thanks for the advice, I appericiate it.

Think i'll be reading up on the kind that Cheetah uses as well. Do you know anything about that brand, curbside?

EDIT: CHEETAH GET YOUR BUTT ONLINE!!!! LoL

Cheetah · 06-05-2006, 07:18 PM

Curbside Prophet · 06-05-2006, 07:28 PM

I have no personal experience of Canidae, but I took a quick look at the ingredients, and it gets my thumbs up.

sheltieluver4 · 06-17-2006, 05:55 PM

Oh yeah, i took that challenge too, i got the purina one dog food, but i bought puppy chow {purina} 2! Kool, but now im hearing its a bad brand

Danegirl2208 · 07-06-2006, 06:53 AM

my dogs are fed a RAW diet...no kibble in this house

LabLady101 · 07-06-2006, 11:43 AM

I feed NutriSource (http://www.nutrisourcedogfood.com). I've had great results with it- good poops, proper Lab coats, clear eyes, clean ears, etc. As an added bonus, the company sponsors events at my local retriever club- although I'd still feed it even if it didn't.

Btw, Purina is not bad. Many champions have been raised on Dog Chow (GASP! Yep, that's right, Dog Chow!), although there are quite a few successful breeders who feed Pro Plan. I'm not about to argue with their success. Also, the amount of Menadione Sodium in various dogfoods is very, very negligible- just look how far down it sits on the ingredients list, that far down it's pretty minute.
