Racheal Ray food?
 

Does anyone feed their furbaby Rachael Ray's Nutrish? I' m feeding Chance Royal Canin now, but she throws up sometimes. I started fixing her food for a bout a week, then I went back to Royal Canin today because I was afraid she wasn't getting the vitamins she needied, and then she threw up which she had been doing before I took her of it. I want to feed her good food so she will live for along time

I heard Rachel Ray's food is not that good. Ellen Degeneres has a brand out, Halo, I believe. That sounded better.

What do any of you feed your babies

i got a free sample of the Rachel Ray dog food but they are pretty big bites. i just give him them as treats sometimes but i dont plan on buying it. we feed natural balance

please read this...i too got samples before i read this so i threw them out when they came..

Wag Reflex: Rachael Ray is Trying to Kill Your Dog

No, I would not feed Nutrish.

We should put that link as a new Thread !! To warn everyone!! Did anyone did it yet?


I feed Royal Canin Mini adult 27 and my dog love it. My friend try Royal Canin Yorkshire and her dog start throwing up. She when back to adult 27 and the dog is doing found on it.

Halo is supposed to be a good food. I have all of mine on Taste Of The Wild, as it's for all life stages, and since I have them from 9 mos to 11 years and all different sizes, I thought this would be a good choice

haha that dish is for humans, she just named it after her dog...i watched her make it on tv but her DOG food that comes in the package, nutrish, is not going to kill your dog....the mac and cheese dish mentioned in that article is a a HUMAN dish just named after her dog...duh

She doesn't mention that it's a human recipe though. And from reading the article/recipe, it does give the impression that the recipe is for dogs.

"This recipe was inspired by Boo. I know it sounds odd, but my girl loved butternut squash! One of the most comforting traits of our puppy Isaboo is that she's crazy-nuts for butternut squash, too. Using frozen squash makes this sweet, creamy pasta possible year-round. Always check with your vet about which foods are appropriate for you to share with your pet."

on her website it calls that this recipe is pet friendly...which you can see is not

Puppy Love



You can never replace a loved one, but you can learn to love again.

I miss my girl Boo every minute of every day. Boo was more than a dog; she was a true companion. I can still hear her talking away, snorting and grunting in the background of my busy life. When she passed away suddenly, I became obsessed with finding her again.

My husband John posted open letters on the Web, asking breeders if they had any red-nosed pit bulls like Boo, dogs born after she had passed on. We spent weeks looking at thousands of puppies. All were precious, but none were "Boo-like." Then we saw her: a little girl with a wrinkled, worried look on her face and a gentle smile, born just after Boo had passed.

She is so precious! She has the same white stripe down her nose, but this Boo has a dot in the middle of her forehead—a Bindi Boo! Who knows? Maybe Boo is in there. At the very least, Boo is giving our puppy a lot of pointers from Up Above, because we are putty in her paws!

We call our new girl Isaboo. Isabella was always my favorite name for a girl, and Boo was my favorite girl, so we combined the names and got "Isaboo." She started taste-testing my newest cookbook right away. We have another really good eater here! Arf-O! (Yum-O!)

5 SERVINGS

This recipe was inspired by Boo. I know it sounds odd, but my girl loved butternut squash! One of the most comforting traits of our puppy Isaboo is that she's crazy-nuts for butternut squash, too. Using frozen squash makes this sweet, creamy pasta possible year-round. Always check with your vet about which foods are appropriate for you to share with your pet.

Salt
1 pound small ridged tube macaroni, such as tubetti
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO), 1 turn of the pan
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
1/2 medium onion
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken broth
One 10-ounce box frozen cooked butternut squash, thawed
1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese (8 ounces)
1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese (a couple of handfuls)
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg (eyeball it)
Freshly ground pepper

1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Salt the water, then add the pasta and cook until al dente.

2. Meanwhile, heat a medium heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the EVOO, 1 turn of the pan, and the butter. When the butter melts into the olive oil, add the thyme, then grate the onion directly into the pot with a handheld grater, such as a Microplane. Cook the onion for 2 minutes, then stir in the flour and cook for 2 minutes more. Whisk in the broth, then stir in the butternut squash and heat until warmed through and smooth. Stir in the cream and bring the sauce to a bubble. Stir in the cheeses and season to taste with salt, nutmeg and pepper.

3. Drain the cooked pasta, return it to the pot it was cooked in and add the sauce. Stir together and serve.

I had the hardest time finding food for my Lola after puppy chow. Many foods would make her vomit, finally my mother gave me a little bit of the Rachel Ray to try. Now its the only thing Lola will eat, and it doesn't make her vomit! :)

I don't trust her receipe for people to begin with so I would never trust her dog food. I have tried her receipes in the past and they are just not that great. she is not the best cook...

I just got my sample pack today, they looked small to me(compared to the TOTW), mine loved it

To me, it sounds like a recipe for a person, but, because their dog liked the squash they did this recipe for humans but in rememberance of their dog

her dog food has so many fillers in it. there are better food out there for the same price.

Beef, Chicken Meal, Brewers Rice, Corn Meal, Soybean Meal, Animal Fat (Preserved with Mixed Tocopherols), Corn Gluten Meal, Brown Rice, Oatmeal, Dried Beet Pulp, Natural Flavor, Dicalcium Phosphate, Salt, Calcium Carbonate, Dehydrated Alfalfa, Dried Peas, Dried Tomatoes, Dried Carrots, Potassium Chloride, Choline Chloride, Olive Oil, Iron Oxide, Vitamin E Supplement, Zinc Sulfate, Ferrous Sulfate, Dried Parsley, L-Ascorbyl-2-Polyphosphate (Source of Vitamin C), Mixed Tocopherols, Niacin, Manganese Sulfate, Copper Sulfate, D-Calcium Pantothenate, Biotin, Sodium Selenite, Vitamin A Supplement, Riboflavin Supplement, Vitamin D3 Supplement, Thiamine Mononitrate, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Menadione Sodium Bisulfite Complex (Source of Vitamin K activity), Vitamin B12 Supplement, Potassium Iodide, Cobalt Sulfate, Folic Acid



Corn, soybeans, and beet pulp are all pretty nutritionally dubious ingredients to include in a dog food. I wouldn't feed it.

My dogs love royal canine adult 27 and they even have a speacial royal canine for yorkies. If your looking at dog food make sure the first ingrediant is a meat.

I feed solid gold and have for awhile, chester seems to do best on it, currently the wee bits

Definately too many fillers. I personally wouldn't feed it. We do wellness and homecooked.

My dogs did good on it, they loved it. Even the skin issues my sheltie was having at the time went away, but once I relized that the ingredients in it were too good, I started looking at other foods.

I recently got a sample of Rachel's food and Solid Gold. I mixed it with the food she was already eating one at a time and she didn't seem to mind either one.

I normally only feed Canidae but I have to order it as no store near me sells it. When I was a little late getting my order in, I did buy a bag of Rachel Ray and my dogs seemed to like it just as well as Canidae. It may not have perfect ingredients (especially the corn and soybean meals) but it was the best of the supermarket (or in this case Target) brands and since I was in a pinch -- it did the job. It did show me my dogs weren't sensitive to corn. Now we have a Petsmart nearby, so if I run out of Canidae again, I will have better choices. Still, I don't think its that bad. At least it doesn't have the dreaded "By products!"

Here is a recent food poll that was taken :)

Actually, my 25 year old vet did some studying on food allergies on dogs. Would you believe, there were more dogs allergic to the meats in the dog foods than there were allergic to corn.

That's interesting. Thankfully, I have not found anything mine are sensitive to. Some things gave them diarrhea but it was always people food that they were not supposed to have anyway. After threatening that the person who fed them people food would have to clean up any messes, I seem to have solved that problem. ;)

I feed solid gold, halo is pretty good, as well as wellness, innova, merrick are a few good ones

Not to mention MENADIONE which is an extremely harmful ingredient.

The Dog Food Project - Menadione (Vitamin K3)

My sister changed her boxers to this food because of the price and they were going broke buying food and she said it has given them terrible gas.
