| Eukanuba .. What do you feed your fur babies. I started feeding my first fur baby Emma (6 yr old dachshund with disc trouble) Eukanuba for dachshunds. It is supposed to have Glucosamine and Chondroitin Sulfateto help with joints. I also feed the yorkie formula. I switch and get either yorkie or dachshund . They seem to eat the yrokie formula better. On a better note the dachshund formula last longer than the yorkie. So just curious what you feed and what you use for training treats.

| I'm not too fond of Eukanuba because of the fillers. I use Nature's Variety -- raw in the morning and kibble in the evening. For training treats, I use Zuke's Mini Naturals.

| I hope more people chime in. There are many good brands out there, and you might be able to find them locally. You would be surprised at the brands you can find at a feed store, and if you can't find something good locally, there are always sales and free shipping available in online stores. (I wouldn't buy frozen raw online, but any kind of kibble and canned is easy to find online). If you have Petco or PetSmart locally, they both carry Wellness brand and it is excellent.

| I don't like all the fillers in Eukanuba so I've never tried that kind. I feed my 8 month old yorkie Earthborn Holistic. He loves it and it has probiotics added in. They made a sample bag you can try for $2.99 and it comes with a $3 coupon to use if you buy a big bag. He gets Zuke's Mini Bakes and used to get Wellness soft treats but Wellness makes him vomit so we can't use those anymore. |

| I feed my babies Eukanuba...My 2 year old is on Eukanuba for yorkshire terriers and my 17 week old baby is on Eukanuba puppy...I tried the others like blue and a few others when I first got Bella but she wouldn't eat it at all...so I went back to Eukanuba...they like it and are doing good on it and thats all that matters...Eukanuba is not the best but its not the worst either. Oh and I give them bil-jac little jacs, Cheese and chicken and chicken liver,carrots and green beans for treats they love them.

| I don't like Eukanuba at all. Check out Dog Food Reviews | Dog Food Ratings for more info on foods. I feed Orijen and Acana kibble and have been very happy with it thus far. I also add Go! into the rotation alot. He also gets wet food so we buy a variety of brands including Nature's Variety, Wellness, Go! Endurance, Now!, Castor & Pollux, etc. The treats I use most of the time is Canz Real Meat treats. Jackson goes crazy for them -- they're only two ingredients, and super easy to break apart, so great for training and they last forever. I also use Zuke's Mini Naturals . As far as training goes, I often use people food... I buy those cheese sticks and one stick can last a long time, I break up tiny pieces. Or boil a chicken breast for him.

Donating YT 500 Club Member | I would also stay away from Eukanuba. Right now Taycie is eating Pinnacle Duck and Potato. I can not tell you HOW HAPPY I am with it! She has so many tummy issues, and I found out she can NOT tolerate salmon or salmon meal and that is in SO MANY dog foods.. I am really impressed with how well she is doing on it. I am sure she is feeling better too! Because it is a limited ingredient diet I like to add either a TBSP of either Before Grain Canned or Wellness 95% Meat. As for treats go, She LOVES Zukes! I also keep a boiled piece of chicken in the fridge. She loves carrots and small pieces of apple occasionally. I am picky about treats, and she does not get them often, I just try not to upset her touchy tummy. In the past we have tried Nature's Variety, The Honest Kitchen, Acana, all of which are wonderful foods. If you have trouble finding a particular food I would look at K9 Cusine.com Premium & Organic Dog Food and Dog Treats - Free Shipping I have ordered from them in the past and they are really good and ship quick. Hope this helps!

| BilJac Has anyone ever used the Biljac food? My 3 little boys normally eat the Yorkie Royal Cannin but they aren't picky so I bought a bag after reading the ingredients (the first of which is chicken) they seem to love it so far but I just thought I'd throw it out there to see if anyone has any experience with it. Thanks for any info. you can provide. |

| We feed Honest Kitchen with a raw supplement. OP, if you are looking to add Glucosamine and Chondroitin Sulfate check out Nupro Silver Joint. We have had great success with this product. |

| We feed Sophie Wellness and she is thriving on it. She is very fit, full of energy and has great check ups. We also give her Mother Hubbard Baked Treats also made by Wellness. Other treats she likes are bits of raw carrot, a teaspoon of plain yogurt and tiny pieces of cheese. Sophie loves her kong treats too.
