I agree... find what works and stick with it!!.. there isnt a PERFECT FOOD out there for every dog and you will get a HUGE amount of replies on what others feed their dogs and what they feel is crap food etc.. if your dog is fine on the the food that youve been feeding than dont switch because someone on a forum said to...:cool:

Sasha gets Primal raw in the morning and Blue Buffalo Wilderness kibble in the evening. I like to rotate flavors with both. When it comes to the raw, I usually buy 2 bags which normally hold about 64 nuggets. She only gets 1 1/2 nuggets so the bags last awhile, about 3 months or so so it's worth the money. As far as the dry food goes, Wilderness comes in 3 flavors so I change flavors after every bag to keep things interesting for her. She definitely loves meal time.

Hey Brit, which flavor of the Canz treats does Jackson like the most?, i'm thinking of picking some up for Lexie to try, she likes the Zuke's but she's not doing backflips over them. I think she prefers treats with a more appetizing smell like the Wellness puppy they smell like smoked meat.

^^ These smell like smoked meat for sure! Jackson is iffy on the Zuke's. Sometimes he likes them, sometimes he doesn't. Flavors he likes best are venison and the chicken one, I think it's chicken and turkey or something? It's in a yellow bag.

I am now feeding Solid Gold Just a Wee Bits. It is a quality food, all life stage food (important as I have a 6 month old pup and 2 adult dogs), all three seem to really like the food, AND it is available locally! That last criteria was a big one as I had been buying all my dog food online for years. Then the local hardware store expanded its dog food options and provided me with several great products. Really -- the hardware store! :confused: I am not complaining though! The best I could previously do locally was what Petsmart offers. So I am happy to feed Solid Gold!

They had other options and I did let them choose between this one and Innova. But since they ate Solid Gold so well and Innova was not an "All Life Stage" food, Solid Gold won out. Most of the completely grain-free options were too high in protein for my liking -- for instance 42% for the Evo Red Meat. Merrick Before Grain foods offer a much safer 32% protein. I would love to go with that, but they do not currently carry it. If I can hit my stop for food on the day the lady who stocks the dog food is in, they said I could probably talk her into adding it as they do have some Merrick can food selections. But for now, Solid Gold Wee Bits is a pretty great alternative.

We've also had good success with NOW for small breed.

Yea I was shocked to see Lexie turn her nose up at the Zukes recently, she's so picky:rolleyes:. Is it the Venison or Venison and fish?

I've been feeding this too.
The boys love it.
It is grain free.

I feed Primal Raw nuggets as well as Primal Raw Meaty Bones:):) We are all about the raw in our home!!!!!! I recently took out kibble from the mix, but if I had to recommend a kibble it would be Acana or Orijen. We also took out bullysticks as they cause my Snickers to itch his face.

Good luck, finding the perfect food is not easy!!!!

After years of feeding Eukanuba, I read what was actually in that food and starting searching for a GOOD food for my babies. After a lot of trial and error and lots of diarrhea, Fromm Whitefish and Potato is the winner. Stools are great and my babies LOVE the taste. I am presently mixing Evengers Pheasant and Brown Rice in with the Fromm, but they pick through to get the Fromm. Evengers is a really good food, too. I want the best for my babies. Of course, I live in the country and have to order the food online. I get the Fromm from Luke's All Nature Foods. I've been very satisfied. You can order the Evengers from their own website and they have really fast service. :animal36

I use Eukanuba small bites for small animals. My two babies love it. I also treat them with treats daily.

I feed my dog Blue Buffalo - the deboned salmon. Good stuff. For treats I use Blue Buffalo Bits and also Wellness treats, the salmon and lamb soft treats.

Royal Canin for my lil ZoE. She loves it :)
