What brand of dog food do you feed your dog? and where do u buy it?

Answer 1

wow, a loaded question this is.

I wrote a 15 page paper on dog food when I was in college. If anyone wants it send me an email and I'll send it along.

The question can't truthfully be anwered to your benefit.

I feed my dog BARF (bones and raw food) mixed with occasional kibble from a couple different sources due to the nutrients required by our dog.

We have a great dane and know that certain foods are suspect for causing health problems (such as corn). So we avoid foods with this in it.

My essay can help anyone learn how to decipher what's really in a bag of dogfood.

Your best bet is to find a discussion forum for your dog breed (we goto www.danesonline.com) and in the discussion forum there are always breeders yapping about what's best for the dog - everyone has an opinion. But most agree on whats NOT good for the dog. That's the important part... And these are breeders - who show their dogs. So they'll tell you what foods are bad for coat color, or what foods are suspect to cause health problems.

good luck!

Answer 2

I've had the best results from "EAGLEPACK" brand, holistic dog food. It does not contain any additives and is not made from only meat by-products. I get it from a local store that orders it from the web. It's more expensive than the chain-store brands, but this IS a family members' health that you're talking about. What's their life worth to you?

You should always check labels of ingredients just as you would for your own food. If the word "byproduct" or "meal" (as in "chicken meal") appears on the ingredient list, I'd avoid it. These ingredients are bones, tongues, tails, hooves...all the parts humans will not eat. Furthermore, the source of these products are almost always from factory farms that use lots of hormones in their animals that still remain in the byproducts of the animal parts. Besides, factory farming is incredibly inhumane and detrimental to the environment.

Any additives in the label are usually not a good thing either. I can't believe that some manufacturers use color dyes in their food. I mean, come on, dogs are fairly colorblind, they do not care what color their food is. The point of the dyes is to fool the color-seeing human into thinking that the food was actually made from healthy green, orange and red ingredients like whole fruits and vegetables.

So just be smart about reading labels and generally, the higher the price, the higher the quality of food.

Royal Canin dry food and Beneful wet food (the new one they came out with that resembles beef stew from a can). The only place I have found the Royal Canin is at Petsmart, they have different types for different breeds and of small dogs and different size dogs based on age. Beneful I usually get at Target.

You can buy it in the grocery store. Read the ingredients. A lot of store brands are similar to the "best" brands.
