What is everybody feeding their furbabies? - Page 3 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Bino n Lulu Luv · 04-02-2013, 05:45 PM

I've had my dogs on Wellness for years already and they love it. Thankfully it is a good product. Recently I changed from the regular Wellness food to Wellness Simple. They like it but my little girl doesn't like the size of the kibble very much but if I mix it with Wellness simple wet food she'll eat it. Hopefully soon Wellness with release a small bites version in this line.

--On a side note I am glad to see that I wasn't the only one that had each furbaby on different foods and also that I had picky babies. It took me years to find a food that both of them liked and since then Wellness has been our brand

I make & feed mine raw. It's a mixture of meats, fish and eggs and although I don't technically need to, I grind it all in the meat grinder. Also we feed furrybaby treats with popcorn popped in organic coconut oil, seasoned with sea salt with the family

We are currently feeding Fromm Whitefish and Potato with various canned/fresh foods mixed in

Maximo · 04-02-2013, 07:21 PM

Fromm Chicken a la Veg with a little fresh food.

brezofleur · 04-02-2013, 07:24 PM

We also feed raw. It's not BARF but rather "frankenprey"

sansanb · 04-02-2013, 07:44 PM

Our lil "Toots" eats only Purina 100% real chicken NO RICE mixed with Ceasars chicken. We mix it half and half. If we give her anything with beef or pork she gets really sick.

i feed my Chanel Nutro Ultra...good brand?

dottiesyrky · 04-14-2013, 05:11 PM

I have seen on web many complaints about Nutro but no recent recalls. It is made by Mars I think. If you want more info, google Nutro dog food recalls.
Perhaps others here have fed the food and have first hand knowledge?

Eeeek.. IMO I would get her off Nutro. Here is a website you can read up on, then decide.

1,378 Complaints and Reviews about Nutro Pet Foods

Food is a big debate.. We all have our opinions. I go by what works for Peanut, the company of the food, recalls, natural ingredients.. Etc etc. However I would feed almost anything over Nutro.

My furs are on rx foods (Purina HA and Royal Canin SO).

If they weren't I'd homecook or feed SD or RC.

oh, gosh! Chanel seems to be doing fine on it now. I will definately watch her closely for "yellow bile" and consider changing her food! thanks..

Minnie is on Blue Buffalo Small Breed Puppy. She has done great with it from day 1. We even got BB treats

Ya its very scary! My brother had his furbutts on Nutro until I showed him the reports!!

I'm lost on what I should feed Kiki when she came to live with us she was on Pedigree puppy our vet suggested Purina one lamb and rice or science diet. After comparing and reading I couldn't see that science diet was any better. The lamb and rice helped calm her tummy for a while but now we are back to throwing up more days than not. I'm equally as lost on safe treats for her.
