What breed of dog food do you use?

[molucass]

My dogs get some food called Exceed Lamb & Rice.

The vet recommended it because a couple of my furkids have skin problems... We are hoping that we will see some results, if not, I am probably going to switch them over to the barf diet.

I think it is so interesting how our dogs all do great on so many different types of food!

My 4 eat Flint River Ranch Senior Plus. I considered changing to Chicken Soup because everyone raves on it and it is less expensive than what I'm getting, but I decided I had better leave well enough alone and not switch them. Besides, this way, the UPS guy gets to haul those heavy bags up my steps to the door!!!!

purina one

3 of my dogs eat Sensible Choice--they like the chicken.
My little Riley has to eat Science Diet oral care, because he has a poopy problem, and my vet recommended it, and the problem has disappeared!!

We've tried a few foods, and this one seems to be the best for all of them (well, the 3 that eat it). We did Purina One for a while, but it made Kito throw up, and we tried the Chicken Soup food, but everyone had runny stools--not just in the beginning, but for a long time after switching. Sensible Choice seems to work the best for them. Everyone is healthy, no allergies, shiny coats, and they all eat it.
If I switch again, it would probably be to Canidae, Innova, or California Natural.

I feed my puppy raw meat and bones. He loves it! And, I love feeding it. Not sure what I'd feed if I was feeding commercially processed food, but, Finn started out on Iams before I got him. I fed him raw food at almost 8 weeks old, the first night he was home with me.

I started to feed Keegan this again b/c she pooped so much with the other brand I gave her.....

I feed her the Senior formula b/c they don't have a light version and the Senior has less fat....

Really??

My two's coats are wonderful.... People always comment on them.

We were using Chicken Soup, ashlee quit eating so we tried some Precise for her and she gobbled it up, so ash and lucee are on Precise foundation formula and nina is on Precise light diet..........tom

Gigi eats Royal Canin mini for puppy, but when she is done with this last bag we are going for the adult! woohoo! We tried Chicken Soup...though lots of people rave about it, but it made her itchy and gave her soft stool. And RC just works fine, they are tiny and she stops itching and her stool are much firmer and her coat is still as shiny as ever.

differnt dogs reacts differnt to differnt foods. Purina ONE was the only commercial food that did NOT make shadow throw up, her coat seemed shiney lol after the switch to RAW though her coat used to be extremly dull in comparison purina ONE made Happy very sick, but then again EVERY commercial food made Happy very sick, and shadow could only eat the one. while they both cleared up completly once on RAW, yet shadow brother, Dakota does very well on pedigree healthy vitality, his coat is gleaming gold, he is fit and healthy, shadow though is on it now too, and her arthitus is coming sometimes she is ok, but just a simple pet is starting to hurt her again.(not too bad though, my friend have been sneaking shadow raw meat and bones when her parents are not home) perky however does fine on any diet, she lived on the streets so many times that ANY food is good food to her, and her body has adjusted so that any food will keep her healthy. Ripley can be heathy on any diet but does better on RAW, but its not like kibble would hurt him, like it hurts happy. Blair and misty I have no clue though because they started RAW the day they came home.

Yup -
I switched her from Purina one to Premium Edge Chicken and Rice and the difference was amazing. A guy at work told me to feed Premium Edge b/c his mastiff was the same way on Purina One. I have thought about going back to Premium Edge she liked it but not sure if they have a low cal formula. So no Purina for my girly girl!!

[BitsyNaceyDog]

I feed all 3 of mine Natural Balance. They all love it and do so well on it.

[pitc9]

Both of mine get Pro Plan sensitive stomach dry and canned.

We had such a problem when we got Sierra, she has the runs all the time, tried all types of food, then found Pro Plan Lamb and Rice worked good. Buddy came to us, and he had the runs while eating it... so we switched to the sensitive stomach and they both do wonderful on it!! Firm stool, soft shiny fur, clean teeth, and no stinky breath at all!!! Both of mine are skinny pups, I've had testing done on both, no heath problems found, just skinny dogs, and for GSD's I guess that's a good thing!!!

[Samantha Puppy]

Started Samantha off with Pedigree. Then we went to Chicken Soup for the Dog Lover's Soul. She scarfed it down for awhile but then she started snubbing it - didn't eat for two days. I got her some Pedigree again in the meantime and she went back to scarfing down her dinner... so I'm thinking since Chicken Soup only has the one "flavor" little miss Samantha got sick of it and staged a protest. She now gets Pedigree, Iams, and sometimes when I can afford it, Merrick's.
