What brand are you feeding your dog?

[BuckeyeMan]

Orijen or First Mate, expensive but she does great on either one.  High protein, ingredients are right.  Orijen tends to be a bit too high protein, and boy does it stink when she processes that stuff.

I WILL NOT feed my dogs Alpo. I nearly lost both my Labs a few months ago to food poisoning from Alpo dog food.

Nice to know that Innova is still near the top of the dog food chain.

Orijen. My Springer has a great coat, solid stools and is doing great on it.

Stay away from foods with grains. That is what usually causes allergies.

I understand buying food that is in your budget, but you had best save that money for vet bills later.

Looks like most are feeding their hunting partners pretty well!!

I will give my rundown here...I do rep for a dog food company but I am also poor and when I had big dogs I had to be a bit frugal.

Avoid corn soy wheat those 3 ingredients in any form are simply cheap fillers used to boost protein when in gluten form and just filler the rest of the time....now for the fun part

Diamond makes dog food for their own lines again read the bag they have some that are free of corn soy wheat.....Diamond makes Dels for life line, also no corn soy or wheat....they also make chicken soup for the soul...and kirkland.

I have compared these labels side by side and basically kirkland is almost identical to chicken soup for the soul for about 15-20 less per bag depending on where you buy it.  Nutro is made by waltham now (I believe) and they make pedigree as well and are owned by m&m mars    Purina is another major manufacturer most dog food is made by only 3 or 4 companies.  Some of the smaller companies like natural balance, and blue buffalo or orijen have their own small plants or hire out to small plants.  Our company sources almost all of our ingredients in the US venison, duck, and lamb coming from new zealand....also one ingredient that is used in pet feed and people food that is only made in China is Taurine that all comes from the same place and its a plant in China so your energy drink and my dog food both get their taurine from the same place.  Some companies use human grade meats and ingredients others dont...internet and labels are your friends.

and at the end its what your dog does well on that matters the most, the best diet in the world wont do crap if your dog wont eat it

Feed my dog Acana cannot believe how nice her coat is and she is a high energy dog I train all the time and she doesn't even have to eat very much....its expensive but she doesn't eat as much food either.

best stuff i've fed her

Mine only gets EVO. Its grain free free and you can get it in all red meat, all white meat and a few others. I like it cause there is no fillers and I can vary his meals depending on his activity for the day.

Growing up we always gave the dogs purina and when I got my first dog (black lab) I fed him purina. once i tried to give him the cheap Del's dog food and he ate it for 2 days and then wouldn't touch it. So it was back to purina. I'm not that big of a concern of the health benefits and what not seeing as he'll just go outside and eat horse and cow manure.

Our 7 year old lab can only eat Iams or will get sick. Our other two labs eat Costco's kirkland brand and love it, they have tons of energy and have realy great shinny hair coats.
