What kibble are you feeding?

[dukedogsmom]

I just bought a huge bag of the Pro Plan Senior. I would either like to change to the Chicken Soup or Pinnacle after this. I don't want to take chances in the future. Kari, does Pinnacle have senior dog food? I was trying to find it on their site.

I feed mine Innova EVO RM (supplemented with raw). Mine were really gassy when I first moved them onto it too but it seemed to get better during the second bag of it. Natura pet foods has decided to purchase or build their own canning facility in the future to ensure the quality of their foods. There's a video at http://www.naturapetcare.com/ about their products and new steps they are taking right now to ensure the continuing safety of their foods.

That's why I feel so safe with them, Jess. They seem far more concerned than some others. I think I'll be sticking with their products for a while.

I am kind of bummed, though, I really liked TWO's ingredients, they were just too shady for me.

I'm planning on picking up a few canned EVO for Raven tomorrow as she'll need soft foods while her mouth heals. They are definitely one of the only brands I still feel comfortable with. TWO did look really good, but I had read where you talked about some different looking kibble in it. That would bother me too.

Kay, I'm *happy* to report that my hubby is home from Aspen with the Innova EVO. I fed the girls as soon as he got home, they went nuts for the stuff. I think I'll stick with them for a while also. We may have to drive to Aspen to buy it but that's ok.

I switched to Canidae a couple weeks ago. I must say I'm extremely impressed with the ingredients.

Canidae is a great food too. I used to use that with mine as well. Cracker was on that the first year of his life. I bought some to start Soda on, because the EVO is high inprotein, but I'm afraid she doesn't want that. she only wants raw food=x hehe

We have Zoee on Nutro Natural Choice Lamb & Rice. I just looked at their website and it said none of the dry kibble has been recalled.
If any one has heard otherwise, please let me know.

All 3 of mine are on Innova EVO- the regular Evo, not RM, the RM is too high protein (the regular already has more than most foods), plus its more expensive for some reason. My cats are on Evo too and have been for a while. They all do really, really well on it, Im amazed.

I used to have only Alki on it, I switched her to it a while back because I was going through dog food so fast, I had to feed her (and Brock) almost double the suggested amount of foods because they are so active. So the woman at the pet store I go to told me about Evo and Nature's Recipie's Raw Advantage kibbles- both mimick raw diet and are high protein, good for active dogs. So I tried her on that but her stool was always kinda weird, so I switched to Evo and have never gone back! lol

Because of Brock's pancreatic disease he cant digest fat or protein very well, so I had tried him on a few of the lowest fat & protein and highest fiber good foods I could find and he did best on Canidea, plus I knew he liked that food, he was on it before I adopted him and I remember him picking it out of the Wellness I had him on at the time. lol BUT!!! I just ran out of his food last week and started feeding him the Evo and am shocked at how good his stool has become! Especially because of his disease, its amazing.

Royal was on a couple different puppy foods (Merrick, Orijins) and had diarrhea/not great stool on both, so I put him on Evo too (its not a "puppy" food but says its good for all life stages. my dad tells me puppy food is overrated anyway. AND evo has high protein which is the biggest difference in puppy foods anyway) and he is doing awesome as well!

I also feel good about it because it has NO grain- no rice, wheat, nothing thats been recalled, just potatos and meat, so Im HOPING Im safe. I felt safe in the beginning when it was just the "crappy" dog foods being recalled, but now that Royal Canin & Natural Balance are being recalled, AND they keep recalling more things every week, its really freaking me out. The brand of bully sticks I use were recalled for salmonella a couple weeks ago too! They are a local company. It said the incident was unrealted but geez what a crap time for it. Really makes you wonder, what the HECK is going on!?!? Why is ALL this happening? It is SO scary.

I just started easing Niño into their Elk and Salmon today. I went out to Pet Supplies Plus last night because I was sick of all this crap about what my dog was eating. In what ways were they shady?

Quote from another thread, a few of the many problems I encountered.

I was feeding my dogs Timberwolf but I just do not trust them anymore. They are a very... off.. company. They refused to tell us yes or no when asked if they were associated with MenuFoods. It took them literally MONTHS to tell us how much Iodine was in their foods. Their customer service is just off and I was sick of finding different colored, sized, and looking kibbles in almost every single bag of food. I had to change formulas because it took my retailer a month or so to get in the Ocean Blue just because Timberwolf decided to change the packaging.

In reply to being questioned about their kibble sizes/color changes, their customer service rep. (Chris Porsch) said they were testing and seeing what their customers liked best. YET, there was nothing indicating that on the bags or on their website.

Bags of food were just inconsistant and I expect to see the same kibble as the previous bag when I open a new one (slight changes are okay, of course.)

Don't get me wrong.. I LOVE the ingredients.

I've searched yahoo, google, ask, etc.. and can not find any info on TWO dog food. Do you have a link to their site?

Kay, did your dogs do well on it though?
