    What breed of dog food do you use?

    There has probably been a thread like this before, but I don't remember.
    Nikki eats Iams lamb and rice formula dry food. Sometimes she gets bored though and we have to slowly change to a different kind.
    She eats Mighty Dog wet food, but I think it is making her fat so I am giving her less.

    Disney usually eats Purina One, the only thing she likes, but since so many people have had good results from Chicken Soup for the Dog Lover's Soul I bought some this weekend. Disney is now snubbing both it and the Purina One. I don't know what to do now.

    That's what I get for changing.

    We feed our pups Purina One. They love it, and they are healthy and shiny.

    Purina One isn't expensive, AND they have it in the market, so you don't have to go to the petstore to get it.

    Chicken soup for the Dog Lover's Soul.

    They also get raw meat and bones when we happen to have it. They also get eggs regularly.

    Thank you, I will have to look into that

    Just out of curiostiy, why do they get eggs regularly? Are they raw? How often? (Sorry, but I am just interested as I heard they were bad, but that was only one side of the story)

    Yes, raw eggs. They get it for the added benefits of keeping their coats and skin nice and healthy. Kai doesn't get it as often anymore because he's on a diet but normally, they get roughly 2 a week.

    Most dogs handle raw eggs wonderfully but there will always be a few bad cases.

    Simba and Nala get Purina ONE.
    Kiara is fed IAMS Puppy because that's what they fed her at the Humane Society, and what we'll continue to feed her until she's around 9-10 months.

    Hehe, I like the term breed better then brand. I've said that a few times myself, being a dog person...Like "What breed is your car?"

    I use the Costco lamb and rice.


    Thank you Wolfie!

    Echo eats Nutro's natural choice lamb and rice.
    Tango and the doxies eat Nutro max chicken and rice.
    Tango used to eat the same as Echo but after a few days she got really sick so then we switched her food and she was much healthier! Tango and the doxies eat the same thing but Tango gets normal sized kibbles and the doxies get the small ones.

    Science Diet Adult Small Bites is what Claire and Rebel eat, used to eat Pedigree Puppy (Claire) and Purina ONE (Rebel). I want to switch to Nutro, but it's kinda far away to get it. lol
