when we had Gus he only ate Nutro dry food. I'm a dog and cat food snob. I check ingredients and everything. My animals have always eaten better then me.

Since I work at a pet store, I keep a big bin and I buy whichever premium brand(Science Diet, Pro Plan, Iams, Nutro, Natures Recipe....etc) is on sale. They all get mixed together, so my dogs are used to just about all the Premium stuff, course now I better pray I never have to go back to the grocery store stuff, cause it gives them a belly ache !

dog food?

The contaminated pet food scare was about 2 years ago and there haven't been any problems since.
Dry dog food is better because it helps keep their teeth cleaner.
At 2 months old, your puppy should be on food specific for puppies and remain on it until it's 1 year old.
Please buy your dog the best possible dog food you can afford. This means no grocery store brands like Pedigree or Kibbles & Bits, etc. Please buy a premium dog food like Science Diet or Eukanuba or Nutro.
My personal choice is Science Diet for puppies. It comes in a small bites size that would be good for your little dog.
if you any query left you can go through this site for more info:-http://www.wagsocial.com/

Re: dog food?

science diet isn't really a good dog food at all.

Corn Meal
Chicken By-product Meal (a Source Of Natural Chondroitin Sulfate And Glucosamine)
Animal Fat (preserved With Mixed Tocopherols And Citric Acid)
Soybean Mill Run
Flaxseed
Chicken Liver Flavor
Dried Egg Product
Dried Chicken Cartilage (a Source Of Natural Chondroitin Sulfate And Glucosamine)
Taurine
L-lysine



The best dog foods to get are innova, california natural, health wise, who are made by the same people ( mostly any dog food that the first ingredient isn't Corn /corn meal)

I use to work at a specialty dog food store/reptile store. We only sold the best of the best dog food and we would always recommend innova brand foods.

Re: dog food?

Our vet recommended either Science Diet, Pedigree or Iams. There's nothing wrong with Science Diet pet food. Pet food is not required to list the ingredient most common first (which means it has more of that than anything else - in order of quantity), as human food is required to do. All pet foods are required to meet minimum standards, tho. And certain pet foods are better than others, but mostly alot of them are simply more expensive. And rememebr, for hundreds of years, dogs simply got table scraps and they survived just fine. Ours get Pedigree and all 3 are healthy as horses!

Re: dog food?

Lisa, wasn't trying to slam you. Sorry if if came across that way (blame the pain!). I did alot of research before I would let the kids get dogs. And I do mean ALOT (I am the research queen. Won't even let the kids take meds the doc prescribes until I research them.) It simply bugs me the lies that are told about the "regular" pet food by the more expensive brands. Yes, some are better, but none of them are bad for your animal.

Re: dog food?

I didn't find it offensive at all! LOL

I was told the reason why SD is recommended is because SD usually pays for those vets to go to school and blah blah blah.

I myself feed my dogs the cheap food. the big dogs go through a 50 lb bag in 2 weeks! and a 50 lb bag from the pet store that makes their own food is 13 bucks, can't go wrong with that. ( plus the dogs don't tolerate other foods) The small ones get better food but it isn't the best out there. What can I say I can only feed them what I can afford

OMG my mom feeds her dogs better then me! They get COOKED meals, she makes them beef stock and other yummy food, I think she stopped because they weren't eating their dog food.

Dogs in Korea usually only eat scraps ( the ones I have seen) and those dogs are healthy... wait wait...the PET dogs, not the dogs on the poor dog farms.

Re: dog food?

Yeah, we have 3 dogs, 2 of which are 55/60 and 80 pounds. (The other is 33lbs.) They go thru a big bag of food about every 1.5 to 2 weeks. They eat a bit less in the dead of summer (too hot to eat) and the dead of winter (they don't need as much).

Where are you getting a 50lb bag of food for $13!?! I need to start buying that stuff! Our is almost $30 a bag!

Re: dog food?

Oh, and my dogs aren't picky. The little one refuses to eat canned food, for some strange reason. But other than that the only thing I have found that none of them will eat is raw carrots! But they will eat them cooked!

Re: dog food?

I'm feeding my Beagles Canidae Dog Food, it's a nice mixture because it is formulated from puppy to adult, so no more changing of dog food for me.
