I just read the post about Nutro...someone help! I did my research and thought Nutro was one of the best now I dont know...some advice please~!

Charlies Angel · 02-29-2008, 02:39 PM

Charlies loves it! He was on purina beneful (the breeder had him on it) and I just didn't want to feed him crap so I bought Rayal Canine and he loves it. The transition was so smooth infact when I was still mixing his food so he didnt get a tummy ache he would pick out the old food and put it on the floor and then go back to eating the good stuff. LoL We thought it was so funny.

you might want to check out www.dogfoodanalysis.com

PrincessDiana · 02-29-2008, 08:01 PM

California Natural.

If you use dogfoodanalysis, I'd look at the Premium (4-6 star) foods.

I feed Nature's Variety raw medallions. www.naturesvariety.com

If you don't want to feed raw, they've got great quality canned food and kibbles as well. I highly recommend Nature's Variety

Nutro is a great food! I highly recommend it, all of my babies eat it except for the yorkie! LOL! She was on royal canin when I got her so I haven't changed it! She eats puppy #33. Some say it gives the dog the itchies, but I haven't had a problem at all and her weight is perfect! She loves it!

tumismom · 03-01-2008, 04:50 AM

Natures Variety Raw and Primal Raw. I rotate their food all the time. they love it! they also get Orijen kibbles once in a while too.

The best way to know what goes into your dog's food is to make it yourself.

__________________________________________________ ____
Doggy Hamburger Helper

1 cup hamburger meat, stir-fried in 1 tbsp canola oil

2 boiled eggs, chopped

½ cup cooked plain oatmeal

1 jar baby food green beans

1 jar baby food carrots

2 Tbsp cottage cheese

Combine all ingredients and serve at room temperature. A good doggy multivitamin/mineral supplement may be added for good measure. Be sure to store unused portions in a covered container in the refrigerator and discard any remains after 3 days.

_________________________________________________
Doggy Casserole

1 cup boiled poultry, chopped

½ cup cooked brown rice

½ cup boiled mixed vegetables

3 to 4 Tbsp unsalted chicken broth

(Note: Salmon may occasionally be substituted for boiled poultry, with chicken broth omitted.)

Stir together and serve at room temperature. A good doggy multivitamin/mineral supplement may be added for good measure. Be sure to store unused portions in a covered container in the refrigerator and discard remains after 3 days.
________________________________________
Peanut Butter Pooch Cookies

21/2 cups whole wheat flour

¼ cup white flour

¼ cup oatmeal

11/4 Tbsp baking powder

1 Tbsp honey

1 cup peanut butter

1 cup milk

Combine flour, oatmeal, and baking powder. Combine milk, peanut butter, and honey in a separate bowl and mix well. Stir peanut butter mixture into flour/oatmeal mixture. Knead dough and roll-out on floured surface to a quarter inch thickness. Cut out treats using a cookie cutter. Place aluminum foil on cookie sheet and bake in a 400 degree oven for approximately 15 minutes.
