What kind of dogfood do you feed your dog?

Just curious...

We were feeding our dog Beneful, but she was throwing up frequently, so we were thinking about switching her to something else...

Usually Nutra.

I had heard somewhere that anything with chicken shouldn't be fed to dogs, I don't know if that's true or not. After having problems with our dog peeing blood, on the recommendation of our vet we switched to food that has MEAT as a first ingredient, not rice, etc. Haven't had a problem since. We usually look for Lamb or something like that.

Might want to consider a sensitive stomach food if nothing works? I would try the vendor websites to try and get a free sample. Or head up to Petsmart on the weekends when they have sample bags for free.

I feed Taste of the Wild brand to my cats. They also have a dog food version. Whatever food you pick, it SHOULD NOT contain corn or soy.

I like Costco's Kirkland brand. It lists meat as its first ingredient. It's premium food without paying premium prices for it.

Here is an analysis of the Kirkland food...
"The first ingredient in this food is a named meat product. This is chicken, inclusive of its water content. Once the water content is removed, as it must be to make a dry dog food, this ingredient will end up weighing around 20% of its wet weight. It is thus unlikely that it is the true first ingredient in the food, and would be more accurately placed much further down the ingredient list. "

We feed Taste of the Wild and rotate between the protein sources every few months - Right now we're on the Bison/Venison from the Pacific Stream.

The Meat listed as the first ingredient should not be a "by-product" such as chicken by-product otherwise it's not really meat

by-product meal is the cleaned rendered parts of the carcass which can contain bone, offal and undeveloped eggs and sometimes feathers

Taste of the wild brand to the puppy and to our cat. Diamond Naturals Extreme Athlete as it has more calories to our other 3 dogs. we also supplement with raw chicken, turkey and ground beef/turkey.

Taste of the Wild - I alternate grain-free foods periodically

We also feed Diamond Naturals Extreme Athlete. Plus extra eggs and goodies when it is culling day, or if they catch a "treat" (my BC is a fantastic rodent/rabbit hunter)
