What type of dog food do you feed your dog2007-11-25 2:53:41

I want to know what type of dog food your feed your dog(s).

Because someone on here told me what I feed my dog is crap, even though my vet reccommended it. She said that my vet of course would tell me to get a "bad" brand of dog food so it'll make my dog sick and I will have to keep bringing it in there so she'll make more money.

Who really believes this crap?!

If your vet recommended your dog to be on a certain dog food would you contest it?

Answers:

Everyone has a food they think is the best, and perhaps it is FOR THEIR DOG. There is no one shoe fits all with dog foods. Not a bit different than there is no one diet that is perfect for all people. Some people are Hyper while others are Hypo, same with dogs.

A classic example is some dogs will have a loose stool on a chicken based diet while others won't retain proper weight on a lamb based diet. So I feed both, either in combination or separately, depending on the individual dogs needs.

I feed the brand that I do because my dogs win in the ring when fed this diet. That doesn't by any stretch of the imagination mean that it would be the proper diet for every dog out there.

My vet recommended Science Hills, but then I heard alot of bad things about it, we then did a little research and we changed the food to Nutro Max.

Iams, small bits because he's a small doggie.

I used to feed my rottis Nutro, large breed, and every vet we spoke to told us it was terrific. We now have a peekingeese and he eats purina little bites indoor complete. With the recent scares about pet foods we have been cooking for our dog, at least I know for sure what he's getting.

I feed Nutro. When you chose a dog food make sure it doesn't have any animal bi-products and you should be fine. I would check with your vet to see if your breed requires any suppliments and if so what. This way you are maxing your dogs health without maxing your budget. My vet says Science Diet is crap dog food so I don't use it. She recommends the Nutro, so I use it. I have heard that Science diet sells to vets for cheaper than pet stores so vets make a larger profit but I have no proof of that (a vet told me this). Good luck.

I'm glad you ask! My dog gets California Natural, Merrick and sometimes Solid Gold. Our pets need quality pet food. Read the ingredients list and learn what the stuff on there is and what it does (or does not do) to/for our pets. A quick pet food 101. If the pet food contains corn/corn products or by products it is a poor quality food. Do not pay attention to advertising, they all say there food is great. Corn is a filler that can trigger skin problems. (allergies, skin problems, itching and excessive shedding) By products is anything from an animal not fit for human consumption, including cancerous tissue. Quality foods have meat as the first ingredient. California Natural, Solid Gold, Innova and Merrick are a few of the best brands available.
