thornbirdskkk Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 What kind or brand of dog food do you use or recommend? What do you advise against and why? I currently use Nutro Lite for both my yellow and chocolate labs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drjeffrock Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 Currently feeding Wellness chicken-flavored kibble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carolk9s Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 I am feeding Chicken Soup for the Pet Lovers Soul Senior kibble and Science Diet canned. They only get the canned meat in the evening, less than 1/2 ounce each. It's just to add a bit of 'excitement' to the bowl! :D They would eat the kibble dry, I use it as training treats as well. In the morning, they each get a dollop of yogurt on top, each dog eats the yogurt first then polishes off the kibble. My dogs also get at least one egg each week, cooked fresh fish, canned sardines, and the girls will eat strawberries, apples, melon, and pineapple. (no grapes of course) Brittany will eat tomatoes, Jesse does not think fruit and veggies are food at all. 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackieMaya Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 Jackie and Maya get Science Diet Light Large Breed dry food. Pooh Bear gets Science Diet Liet dry food. And they all get Science Diet Light treats and other light treats. I tried giving them veggies as treats, but they all turned up their noses at them.

imported_Kat Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 Kes gets Royal Canin. In N.I the choice is pretty limited and royal canin is right at the top end of the scale (with a price to match too!!!) . When I get to the u.s. i will have a look at the other foods and maybe switch, but I'm quite happy with the royal canin and its content.

DogPaddle Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 EVO! EVO! EVO! Also homeprepared stuff but they actually respond better to the Evo - there are still some veggies they are adjusting to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ObedienceGrrl Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 We do Eagle Pack Holistic Lamb and Oatmeal here.....but I'm switching to Canidae in the near future. I have a bag in the pantry and I just need to go down a little big with the EP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShatteringGlass Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 Sydney is on Canidae all life stages. She also gets a few things added in with it. Every day I add in 1 1/2 table spoons of In-Flight Coat Formula, and a 1000mg of fish oil to each meal. Every other day or so she gets some baby carrots, sweet potatoes, green beans, and plain yogurt. I also give her a whole raw egg 1-2 times a week.

cheekymunkee Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 Mine are all fed RAW. Munkee is allergice to chicken so he gets beef or pork while the others eat mainly chicken. They also get pureed veggies occasionally, eggs, chicken innards, cottage cheese, yogurt, fish oil caps & kelp powder. There's nothing wrong with feeding pumpkin, dogs do need some fruits & veggies in their diets. I feed pumpkin for upset tummies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ESSlover Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 Carson's on Natural Balance. The cats are one Science Diet for fat cats or whatever the technical word is.. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 Mine get a home cooked meal.... Chicken, cabbage, Quail (raw beef mixture made for working dogs), rice.... a ton of stuff. I do mix some Diamond puppy in with it. One thing about raw eggs... Its the shell you want your dogs to get. Anytime I cook eggs I save the shell, let it dry, grind it up and throw it in a jar. Then I sprinkle it over the food when I throw the garlic in. You should make sure to grind it up well as large chunks of the shell can cut your dog up on the inside.

SizzleDog Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 I hav eto back DOber up on this one... the pups are eating Pro Plan right now and are doing great. I started them out on Innova puppy and Merrick's canned food, and I had constant problems with runny poo and flatulence. Coats dulled up, the whole caboodle - something I would have NEVER expected from a super premium. Back on the PP, and coats are inproving, firm stools, no more weight fluxuation, etc. I'll keep my boy on it until it's apparent that he needs to be switched, because he's doing fantastic on it now.

Kerislc Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Scout is doing great on Wysong. They sell it at the natural foods store where I do most of my shopping so it is very convenient, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imported_Kat Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 ahh the variety is so expanse in the states! I'm going to need lots of help (hope you're reading this TDG :P), if I change Kes from Royal Canin. In saying that though, I may not. She is doing well on this but it costs a bloody fortune... a 4 kg bag is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllAmericanPUP Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Pro Plan seems to be a chosen food for alot of people who compete...i'm on a dock dogs message board and like 90% of the people on there feed Pro Plan...and they swear by it.. Maggie use to eat Pro Plan a few years ago....she did fine on it if I remember correctly..it has been a few years... kat, i pay $28 for a 35lbs. bag of the chicken soup dog food and $18 for a 44lb bag of diamond lamb and rice. i recently discovered that solid gold is available about 15 minutes away..so if I get a lil extra money and someone to drive me...i might pick up a bag and see how the dogs do...
