Any food recommendations for my lab/springer? I started feeding my lab/springer mix dog who is 6 years old Nutro but now I am hearing in general that is not such a good food. He acts like he is starving when I feed him so I don't think he is getting enough to make him feel full yet we need to watch his weight because he is right where he should be. He is about 65 lbs. I have thought about feeding him Blue Buffalo, Royal Canin, or maybe Natural balance. My Yorkie is on Fromm but I don't know if that is good for older dogs too? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! |
I vote for Natural Balance. :) |

Kristin~you are my only taker on this thread :) Thanks for your reply!! I am thinking that may be a good one too...the owner of Lea's has a lab/collie mix so I think I will ask her what she feeds her dog (which looks A LOT like my Tubby) and go from there. |
Anything but Nutro even if that means Purina Dog Chow. Natural Balance |

I had asked my old vet (before we moved) to recommend a dog food as I was feeding Iams and I knew that was not as good as I thought it was and she recommended Nutro...then to my surprise I found out that is probably even worse so back to the drawing board. I knew Nutro was bad because he acts like he is starving when I feed him and he didn't use to act that way.... :( I have hard a lot of good things about Blue Buffalo and the way they process the food and I also know Natural Balance is good so I just have to make the decision soon before the nasty stuff is gone so I can slowly introduce the new food. Tubby has always been soon healthy~I am so mad that I started feeding both Tubby and Lucy Nutro...ugh! |
I use Castor and Pollux Ultramix. |

I have never heard of those before, I will have to google them to see more info. Do you find them at specialty pet stores? |

Here is a link to their site: We Are The Leader In Organic & Natural Food for Pets | www.castorpolluxpet.com |
I don't have a Petsmart near me anymore :( I will check with Lea's Pet Products because she says she will order anything they don't have! Thanks, I will check into it!! Quote:

I just looked it up and they sell it at one of the grocery stores here and also a health food store here in town! |
I think Castor & Pollux is a great food. I also like Natural Balance. Though I have never fed either (except samplings of NB). We are extremely happy right now with Taste of the Wild. It's also pretty inexpensive for the quality, IMO. If I had a larger breed, I would probably feed any one of those three foods, because of the good quality and the cost. |
Natural Balance:) |
I like Castor & Pollux and Taste of the Wild too. When a dog is coming of off something like Nutro, I think I would choose something that isn't such a radical change in protein/fat/carbs and general richness. That is why I voted for Natural Balance. Max started on Nutro, then we went to Natural Balance for over a year. This is just my personal opinion. Ann, whatever you choose, buy a small 5 pound bag first to test that it works for your lab/springer. |
Thanks for all your inputs everyone! I appreciate your help and I think Natural Balance might just be the one for us to try.....I will let you know how he likes it! :) |
I priced all of them and Natural Balance is quite expensive, Taste of the Wild seems a little more reasonable for the quality. I got samples of T of the W but they didn't have any samples of NB. |
