| Canned food and vitamins? I am just wondering what you guys think is best for canned food. Yes I saw no Little Cesars. And yes I know about not giving it to Titan as a main staple as it may hurt his teeth. But there are SO many choices I am very lost. Titan is 5 weeks. Here is my other question. What do you guys think about vitamins for pups and dogs? Thanks for your input! |

| Merrick makes these awesome ones called "Granny's Pot Pie" and "Cowboy Cookout" Also anything by Wellness or Canidae. Loki likes the Canidae I've been giving him with his medicine. No loose stools either. We love Canidae.

| Mighty dog is just up there with Lil cesars, its just as bad with fillers. Just a tip, all the pet food you can buy at a grocery store is generally not the best food you can be feeding. Most of the good brands of dry dog food make wet food. You can usually find these brands in more natural pet food stores, and you can usually look up suppliers on their website. All the brands everyone has listed so far are good brands.

| Ok. Here is a list of what sells here that I can buy. Iams Little Cesars/Cesar Select Alpo Skippy Pedigree Kibbles and Bits Mighty Dog Kal Kan Moist and Meaty So what do you guys think is best? It is a very small selection. I am draw to the Kibble and Bits. but I think that is just cause I like the variety in there. |

| Please take the time to read this article as most of the wet foods you listed are all by-product food which will make you ill. If you do a google seach of dog food by-product you will quickly decide not to feed any of these foods. I can't believe Germany wouldn't have better foods somewhere. If not I think you would be better off cooking up chicken & rice & vegetables for your little one. By-Product foods are poison IMHO. http://www.sniksnak.com/ac/petfood2.html

| I feed my little babies Hills Science Diet puppy canned food and I mix cottage cheese in it, then once they are a certain age I give them that canned mixed with the dry puppy food I give them. As for vitamins I use the Pet Tinic. Mine have always done great on this. |

| Tiny Titan, is there any way you can order food off the internet and have it shipped to you? Because all of the food listed is pretty poor quality, and it would be worth it to pay extra to have some shipped to you.

| Germany does have different foods... and they cost about 3 times as much also. I will go get a list on monday. It is just that I know alot of them are not available in the states and you wouldn't know them. These are available on the American base. Ummm They have Royal Canin but I don't know if they have it canned. |

| I feed Wellness can food. I give my dogs that are under certain types of stress, vitamins. Show Stopper and Puppy Gold. Normally though if you feed a good quality food you should'nt have to supplement if he' s a pet.

| merrick is roxi's favorite, and believe me i tried everything(except innova). I believe you can go to the website and order merrick and get free shipping. It looks like people food and It's very nutritious. My vet even switched her yorkie to it after I gave her a can to try. They have soooooo many choicces to choose from too. I usually but 3 cans of each (except senior) when i go. i travel an hour each way to get it, but what the heck...she loves it. Oh and i also free feed eukanuba puppy dry during the day. |
