Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Hello! Well, unfortunately, I think EUK is a terrible food - chock full of allergens and fillers, plus they were busted for animal cruelty in thier testing on dogs. Ick. Not a big fan of the RC either - known fo causing lots of itchies. (sorry ) What about Canidae, Wellness, Natures Variety, Evangers, Orijen, California Natural etcetera? Are you in Avodale, AZ?

Yes i'm in Avondale,AZ. Where can I find Canidae?, I went to look for it at Petsmart but they don't have it. Where do you buy yours, or what do you feed yours?

| i have always fed Eukanuba. i live far away from pet stores so it is the best available to me. My dogs have thrived on it and none have any skin problems or anything else from eating it. I feed ALL mine puppy food. Eukanuba is under the procter and Gamble unbrella. Last edited by Sugar's Mom; 02-21-2008 at 02:52 PM. |

| Eukanuba contains bi-products......plus the animals they test their food on live in terrible conditions! I'm not a vegan.....but you can go to peta.com and see the investigation they did! I feed Royal Canin and my Yorkie hasn't had any problems.....she loves it and he weight is perfect! I portion it acording to the bag so it lasts a long time!

| If you don't have any pet suppy store that carry some of these good brands of kibble you can "google" and find sites that sell it. Some member may have suggestions on sites that have the best prices. Joanne |

If you are wanting it for improving the coat, you may want to consider some supplements as well...Flax Oil, Glucosamine are great and have other healthy benefits too. I know that lots use Missing Link and are satisfied with the results. You really just have to experiement and find what is best for your dog. When you have found the right product, the results will be clear and you will know you've found a winner. Last edited by BamaFan121s; 02-21-2008 at 03:48 PM. | |

Eukanuba was one of those that never even occurred to me to try. Until I babysat a fellow YT member's yorkie who was fed Eukanuba. Chloe ate hers and so I ran out and bought a bag. Ever since, she has put on just the right amout of weight. She looks great, and she is doing very well. Some foods can be the greatest in the world, and if your dog won't eat it, then it does no good. I tend to disbelieve many of the scare tactics put out by lots of websites that claim to tell the "truth" about many dogfoods. I've also seen a lot of people get into really heated debates over what they feed their dogs. I stay away from those. I just wanted to add that I, too, feed Eukanuba (yorkie variety) and Chloe is doing beautifully. | |
