| What do you feed- which category? Just out of curiosity, based on Dog Food Analysis - Reviews of kibble, what category of dog food do you feed? |

| Based on that review site, which seems to favor non-grain foods over grain foods, my food is a category 4. However, we feed Merrick and I've seen it rated higher in other review sources. My dogs love it and I like when they have chicken pot pie smell on their faces. It reminds me of my own grammie.

| OK finally finished the poll, so you can now vote. Multiple choice enabled for rotation feeders. I feed a rotation of primarily grain-free, 5* & 6* foods. |

YT Addict | It won't let me vote it says "you cannot vote on this poll". So I guess I'll just tell ya what I feed is the potato and duck 'small bites' by Dick Van Pattens "Natural Balance" it has a 106 score which is an A+ on the grading chart on this forum. But on the dogfoodanalysis.com website it has a 4 star rating.

| Fromm's Surf and Turf Although it is grain free, it gets a 5 on the dog food analysis scale. I was feeding Orijen, but it was too high in protien for my pups and upset their stomach. They LOVE the Surf and Turf way more than they ever liked the Orijen and it is in tiny kibble so it is easier for them to eat.

| Acana Prairie and Grasslands alllllll the way! 5 stars is it's rating. We used to feed Evo, but Snick got sick of it! Go figure! He eats like I've never seen before...Acana will be with us until Snick decides he is bored with it. I feed a rotation diet- raw (Primal) in the Am and Acana for the rest of the day. When I feed poultry raw, I use Prairie Acana (chicken based) and when I feed red meat raw-I use Grasslands Acana (Lamb based.) I feel SO GOOD about what I'm feeing Snick. Champion foods (makers of Acana/Orijen) was awarded dog food of the year this year with their Orijen. That's awesome!!!!! I think I have a slight obsession with dog food....oh well!! LOL!!!

| I was feeding the Orijen based on the dog food analysis web page and because it is made in Canada. But switched to a homemade low protein diet 2 days ago due to elevated liver enzymes in my little guy (16 months 3lbs 10 oz). |
