What do you feed your dog?

[DogPaddle]

If you feed more than one type, choose the one you feed the most of or the one you would feed if you could just feed one. As there are not enough options to poll all foods individually I grouped them with similar foods as best I could.
If you would like to post your specific brand/type and why you like to feed it to your dogs that would be great too.

I try to do one meal/day home prepared cooked (ground beef, chicken and turkey, egg with shell, sometimes a touch of tinned tuna or other leftover fish I have prepared for me earlier, wild and brown rice, frozen peas, carrots, whatever veggies I have around, supplement from vet for home prepared meals.) For treats fruit and some veg and a dollap of yogurt and Benny Bully liver treats. The other meal/day I try to server Innova or sometimes Canidae. Lately cash has been short so I have been doing Canidae and even had to resort to one bag of Presiden'ts Choice Lamb. So I picked the one with Innova and Canidae as it most closely averages what I feed, although in an ideal world I'd like to do all home prepared.

It wasnt any of the ones I picked, but it was along those lines (I think) we feed the cats (and will be feeding the dog) Science Diet

[Baileysmom]

I chose "other super premium" - I feed chicken soup, I hope that was the right one to choose :wink:

[DogPaddle]

Seems right to me Baileysmom.

So far it seems that Dogo folk prefer the higher calibre foods (no surprise there) but we don't seem to be big name branders, half the folks are buying "other" or make their own. Cool.

[kasi_kipper]

My pup's been through lots of brands....he gets really picky about each one but we stayed w/eukanuba because the vet says it's better for him :lol:

[Liz]

I feed Solid Gold and Bogart does extremely well on it.

[imported_nea]

I feed a brand called "Best in Show", which isn't really a prestigous (sp?) brand I don't think. But it works great for Web, and its really cheap too! Cheap dog foods don't HAVE to be worse. :)

[AllAmericanPUP]

I didn't choose one..

I feed Maggie the chicken soup senior food.

I feed my adult dogs Diamond Beef Meal and Rice formual(i think thats what it is..)

[mouseatthebusstop]

I FEED PROFESSIONAL CHOICE I GET IT DELIVED IT GETS MIXED WITH A LITTLE TINNED DOG FOOD THE MEAT CHUNKS IN JELLY TYPE BECAUSE I WORK FULL TIME I FIND IT EASER

[imported_Debbie]

I have 3 dogs and feed 2 different foods.......

I feed the Jacks Nutro Natural Choice (Sensitive stomach formula) and Gretchen gets a prescription food called IVD (potato/venison) from the Vet. Allergies=Ear Infections.

[Smooshie]

Mine have been eating Canidae for quite awhile, but I just recently switched Lyra to Natural Balance Venison and Brown Rice to see if it helps her allergies.

[Smooshie]

[quote]I think the Duck and Potato is for allergies as well....just in case the Venison and Brown Rice doesn't work. [/quote]

:D Yes I looked at that one too, and if the NB works for her I'll probably buy the Duck and Potato for her once in awhile just for variety. I chose the Venison formula just because the feed store rep said it had a milder smell than the duck formula...

[Smooshie]

I'll definately keep you posted :D ...I just started the switch 2 days ago so she's not 100% on the NB yet . So far she seems to like it...lol...at least she's not picking the Canidae out and leaving the NB :wink:

When did you put yours on NB gigi?? Were you having allergy issues? Lyra chews her back paws relentlessly, and it seems to be at its worst not long after she eats. I stopped using carpet fresheners...I wash her paws after she comes in from outside...nothing has helped, SO now I'm trying to pinpoint if its something in her diet...

[Smooshie]

Ughhh...yup, Iams is crap.. Canidae is great food, but they don't make an allergy formula...Loki does wonderfully on it, but Lyra still itches more than she should, so now we're down to a single protein, single carbohydrate formula NB.....keep your fingers crossed that it works for us!

I love my vet...he's great with my dogs but he knows squat about nutrition. His 'solution' to her itching was to put her on Science Diet which I WON'T do......and I don't want to have to keep giving her allergy meds if I don't have to.

[Smooshie]

HA! but you bribed them with canned goodies :wink:

[CincoandDahlilasgirl]

I feed 2 different types(depending on the store we goto) The Ol' Roy (Yes my dogs like it) and Purina (Yes my dogs like that 2) With meat or something mixed in sometimes. We can't give Dahlila canned food otherwise she gets the runs and we arn't gonna feed it to 1 dog and not the other.

[Sunneva]

Pedigree :wink:

[Mastiffmommy]

I feed Diamond Lamb and Rice With NO Byproducts, Soy, or Corn. They also get wet mixed in some times and I also feed raw veggies.

[DogPaddle]

[quote]NO Byproducts, Soy, or Corn.[/quote]
Always an excellent choice. It is too bad it seems so hard to get even this simple idea out to the dog owning public.
I'm not familiar with Diamond but no soy, corn or byproduct sounds reasuring.

both of those foods suck, no offense.
i'm sure the dogs like it, but it's not good for them.
read the ingredients on that crap, it's all fillers and chemicals, wich will cause them to get cancer when they are older...

[AllAmericanPUP]

i just switched my adult dogs from diamond original to diamond lamb and rice. and hopefully soon i can switch them to premium edge or chicken soup dog food..

Well if the stores we get our dog food at carried those foods and if they sold it at reasonable prices then we would and our nearest petco is like an hour to an hour and 45 min away so we get the food from there when we get a few hours during the day. We don't have a petsmart and we've tried the stuff from petworld outlet warehouse and the dogs never touched it. We've also switched them to a new brand today something like nutural balance (private company) I mean aleast they're being fed I mean I'm sure theres people who feed there dogs once a week or less. We also mix in stuff with there meals.

[AllAmericanPUP]

natural balance is a very good food.

i'm guessing you got the ol roy and purina at wal-mart?
if that is the only place you can get food at, they carry a decent food called maximum nutrition.

yes it is good that they are getting fed, i was just saying that they could be ded a better food, i'm sure you want your babies to have long healthy lives.

[CincoandDahlilasgirl]

I'm not the 1 who buys the food for the dogs so i just feed them hat dog food they have
