Food Recommendations for Duke?

[Roxyluvsme13]

I used Chicken Soup for the Dog Lover's Soul for almost 2 years; I liked it, the dogs liked it, but Sugar was itching on it. Not sure why. She was the only one having an allergic reaction.

Been using Halo Spot's Stew chicken formula for a year with great results. The lamb formula also had Sugar itching.

I buy it from here:

I'll have to check into the second one. Chicken Soup seems to be one of the cheaper higher quality foods that I can find nearby, so I also have to check into prices on it. Thanks Sandie!

I have Snoopy on Taste of Wild (lamb) it really controls his IBS so far. I get it at Tractor Supply.

Coco is on Precise (Chicken/Rice) I order it through place in Maryland. Free shipping when you order $60 or more.

Cats are all on Taste of Wild brand.

I'm thinking about switching Coco to Taste Of Wild.

I'm finding anything with chicken in it gives dog's and cats gas and more poop.

I had cats and dogs on 4 Health (from Tractor Supply). To much gas and poop.

Gas and poop, not good. I'll have to see if it reacts that way with Duke, if so I'll have to find something without chicken in it too. Thanks for the input!

I feed Acana Grasslands (lamb formula). Its about 35 dollars for a 17 pound bag I believe. It's a 5 star rating.

Always remember, the higher quality, the LESS you have to feed. In the end, it's isn't as expensive as you might think it is because it lasts longer. I would also recommend california natural, I had my dogs on it for awhile but Sam does much better on grain free food. I think that is a 4 star food.

For example, Springen was on Royal Canin Boxer Formula. (CRAPPY food, my brother insisted he thought it was good) They recommend about 4 cups a day for his weight. He just switched him to grain free Blue Wilderness, and they recommend about 2.5-3 cups a day. Big difference!

I think I saw that when I was looking at foods the other day... Not sure though.

Yeah, I was trying to keep that in mind. Everything I've looked into to give him is something super expensive, but my mom is objecting . Though technically, I've already claimed Duke as MY dog, so I think I can feed him what I want to since I'm 19 and paying for it

Wow, big difference. Is Springen doing better on the Blue than the Royal Canin???

I've fed a lot of dog foods - natural balance, nature's variety, wellness, avoderm, and I recently switched to solid gold. When I checked out all the dog foods available at petco - just the lamb formulas actually because my dogs do well on lamb - solid gold had the best ingredients for the price. I'm feeding the hund-n-flocken. It is about 54.99 for a 33 lb bag. I think I was paying 55.99 for a 30 lb bag of avoderm. And it's fun to say my dogs poop solid gold ha ha.

Be careful of putting on too much weight with him - bassets are very prone to being overweight I'm shocked to ever see one that's not fat. It seems so much worse for the dogs with short legs too.

Amy, you're just a dog food expert, LOL.

Lily always liked lamb, so I was thinking about trying that with Duke too. I think we have solid gold somewhere around here, again I'll have to look into it.

Oh yeah, I read about a lot of bassets having weight problems. So I'm really shocked that he's as skinny as he is :/. He just needs to put on about 10 or so pounds I think. He's supposed to weigh around 40 and he probably weighs nowhere close to that.

Thanks for the input!
