What brand of dog food do u use?

[kai khan]

I know this too. I gradually get her to eat the food by mixing it in little by little. But she doesn't seem to like anything else but the pro plan.

[speedist]

My rott does not be too enthusiastic to eat the Purina either, but when he get hungry, he does eat it. So i goes mix it up with food, rice and chicken parts.

Same thing happened to me. I started mixing it with rice and meat from what I cook but then they start to eat around it.

Does anyone use Nutri Source or Science Diet?

[Sheriff]

Used Nutri Source before and pups/dogs loved it.

[heavy rollers]

Using Nature's Variety Instinct Rabbit Meal and my 5 mth old rottie loves it. Had him on Nutri Source large breed puppy chicken and rice before and i think he used to eat just so meh pothound wouldn't eat he food but eventually he stopped eating it. Since i switch him to NV he does be over excited when is food time. His coat improved, he much more active AND less poop in d yard. I does mix in a little NV with meh pothound Purina. LOL. It damn expensive!!

^^^Is it a completely balanced meal? Dry or gravy, and where is it available?

Royal Canin - German shepherd puppy chow.

Started with Purina Pro Plan but they hated it.

Where do you get this dog chow ? Price ?

[kai khan]

I tried natures variety with my bully pup but she didnt like it at all. I've heard about science diet but haven't tied it yet. Anyone knows where I can get it?

So it claims on the packaging and on their website.It is dry. I get it at Royal Pets in Gopaul Lands compound in Marabella. They also have Salmon meal, Chicken meal and limited ingredient lamb and another one i can't remember. They say they also getting the Merrick brand in the near future.

why would you feed one of your dogs a less healthy food than the other? does it matter that its a mongrel, shouldn't you not love and treat both your animals equally? stupess

Got a lil mix mastiff and read a little about types of dog food to get. Recommended to start of with adult food rather than puppy chow since its a large breed fast growin dog. Bought a little sample package of sum spanish name dog food and pro plan savor with both having chicken or chicken meal as the 1st ingedient as i didnt know what to get having gotten the dog the same day and b4 i did further research. Went to royal pets in gopaul lands and bought a sample of the blue buffalo duck wilderness as its a top notch line. The salmon is available in large bags @ 5xx

Has anyone tried the kirkland chicken from pricesmart? Ingredients looks goodish. Better than those off the shelf crap.

What brand of dog food do u use? if not what is your home remedy?

these days...any brand once it shows 10% & more fat content. Of course...all 'house food' also goes into the mix........

[adhnarth]

Can you guys share the contacts of the various distributors (importers) of these different dog food brands?

[Halfbreed07]

i'm having real good results with that, no grain, no poultry, everybody licking they bowl, stool is a lil large but that's ok, three dogs one chow.
1 rednose, 1 bully, 1 cane corso.

Using the kirkland chicken adult over a year now, good results, healthy coat. As long as your dog is not alergic to chicken then it'll be fine. My dog gets bad bumps from Lamb! tried all the lamb mixes same issue. bumps and sores. Since then i've stuck to kirkland from pmart.

[Halfbreed07]

just my opinion but i would stay away from those budget chows, always chk the first 5 ingredients for corn, soy, wheat or some other cheap grain, if it does i wont buy that.
dogs should eat meat, full stop

[DrunkenMaster16]

as I said i've tried different brands and this one seems to work the best overall. 1 1/2 yrs, 85 lbs hybrid pothound.

You're either overstating a point or ignorant of the fact that a well-balanced diet is most important....and I'd like to think its the former. Do you know that studies have proven that too much protein in the younger stages can lead to liver problems later on in dogs?

I agree with you re: the 5 ingredient thing though.

I currently use ProPlan large breed pup formula for my 6mth RR and NutriSource Lamb&Rice formula for my 7yr old GSD/RR cross. Really good results.

[Halfbreed07]

My research has lead me to understand that a dog and a wolf share a similar digestive system, and in the wild a wolf eats meat.
I have experimented feeding my dogs the raw diet consisting of lean meat, fat and bones. My dogs did very well, I only stopped because the clean up was a task.

[88sins]

A lot of the time ppl forget to add organs when feeding the raw diet. If clean up was a task, then either your dog had a food allergy or something else was wrong. Raw fed dogs tend to excrete a lot less than they put in.
But in truth, a raw diet of meat bones fat & organs is always going to be better for dogs, providing there are no underlying health issues.

Have my Mastiff on Vets Choice Health Extensions Lamb and Rice, she loves it and has no allergic reactions.

Jeez, I meant clean up after feeding, and yes, they got liver and gizzars also.

Took my GSD/RR cross off the Alpo and onto the NutriSource Lamb meal...she loves it! Seeing good results in her coat and weight too! I will continue feeding the RR pup the ProPlan large breed puppy food until he gets to abt 1 yr old and then NutriSource for him too!
