what bad things did you hear about eukanuba?

Jemma · 05-01-2009, 11:16 AM

It seems dogs love all foods wether it's good for them or not, lol. Eukanuba is not a great dog food at all. It's main grain is corn which is never recommended. Corn is just a filler and can cause allergies in dogs. I believe it also has meat "by-products" you don't even want to know what that is. It isn't for human consumption for sure.

When I got Roxie as a puppy at 10 weeks she was on Royal Canine puppy food. When she no longer needed the puppy food I put her on the Royal canine for Yorkies. She eats it just fine and has never ever had loose stools, tummy upsets, or a weight problem so I just stick with it. I had thought about switching her once and talked to a few people here about it and came to the conclusion that if it's working for her why change it! I can't keep the cat out of it and if I could it would probably last longer. He's a Garfield cat and loves to eat. I also found out it's $5.00 cheaper at Pet Supplies Plus then Pet Smart.

Stormy ate Royal Canin for yorkies for about 2 weeks and then was done with it, the same with Natural Balance. Now she has been on BLU BUFFALO for small breeds and she LOVES IT and has been on it for about two months now, her hair and overall personality as changed drastically, I would recommend this food. I buy it at Petsmart, its a holistic food.

Yes! I too would recommend Solid Gold's "just a wee bit". Tobey was on Eukanuba as a puppy, then we've tried Merrick, and Royal Canin but he was allergic to something in the Royal Canin food. Solid Gold is really good quality with no wheat, corn, or soy in it and no animal by-products. You can buy it at Petco but not Petsmart. He ate it for the last year and a half but what he really loves now is Fromm's Four Star surf and turf- it's a grain free kibble. Harder to find though- I have to get it at a specialty store.

Rocky really likes Nutro Ultra.

Sandysbabies · 05-01-2009, 08:32 PM

You can also buy Royal Canine in the small bites for toy dogs. That is what I buy because that way they can all eat it and its not just for one breed. I had been feeding Welliness and just heard some bad things about it. I also feed Inovia canned and they have a small kibble too. Mine are not picky. They are just little piggies. They haven't turned anything down yet.

Genghis does not like Royal Canine. He did like Chicken Soup for Dogs, and Science Diet. I didn't think he was a picky eater till trying royal canine.

Royal Canine is a food many Yorkies do well on, but it does cantain some controversial ingredients and fillers like corn and beet pulp.

Some foods I always recommend which are made from top notch ingredients & companies are: Innova (can be found at specialty shops), Wellness, Natural Balance, & Solid Gold (all can be found at Petco.) If you have a Petco nearby, you can try them and see how it works out!!

Good luck to you!! Remember, use what works the best for you and your baby!

I couldnt of said it better myself!!!!

I feed my dogs Natures Variety Raw and Innova Evo. They love it!!!!

Please reconsider feeding this to your pets - I dont think its right to feed this to the very animals who die for it every day!

You can download homecooking recipes for your dog also at

There are some excellent recipes in there for loads of different main meals and treats - they sound gorgeous!

Yes, please reconsider...

Jemma, Great link! Barley's food is on in the tops w/six stars

It's Evo's beef small bites. I have tried Innvoa, Solid Gold, Before Grain and Wellness he didn't like any of them as much as he likes Evo. I think it's the beef ;o) My poodle on the other hand is like a little vacuum cleaner and eats all his left overs. LOL

kinnykins · 05-02-2009, 10:31 AM

Mommy2Lacey · 05-02-2009, 10:47 AM

You have to be super careful on the 6 star dog food. The protein content is too high for puppies or small breed. Some are even 40 percent protein or higher. They even tell you that in the review. And high protein is a no no for our Yorkie babies. I was going Wellness and Innova but decided today to try the 5 star Chicken Soup for the Dog Lover's Soul. yummy, she likes it, lol And I put her on the adult, low enough protein but yet enough for her. And she's a little over 5 months
