what kind of dog food does your dog eat?

Answer 1

Beneful

Answer 2

We have had many dogs over the years and found that Iams provides the most consistent quality. The only dogs it wasn't right for was a Saluki we got as an adult, who needed Wal-Mart dog food to keep weight on (we hated to do this, but it worked), and an Italian greyhound with skin allergies who only did well on Canine Z/D from the vet.

Answer 3

OMG it is unbelievable how many of you feed your dogs nothing but junk food!!!

I feed my 3 dogs the best dog foods I can find up here. I rotate between Timberwolf, Innova EVO and Solid Gold's Barking at the Moon. I switch between these 3 foods every 3 mo. I used to feed them NRG which is a dehydrated food, but they got tired of it after eating it for a year, that's when I started rotating their food every 3 mo. They LOVE all 3 of these foods and I love the fact that they don't have any grain or salt, by products or other junk added to them.

Most of you need to check out this article on how to grade your dog's food:

Answer 4

Yikes, everyone who answered should read the back of the bag and read the ingredients. You are feeding your dogs trash food. (Sorry). The first five ingredients are the most important. The rest are just vitamins. Their should be no mention of "by products" (what is a by product?), glucose (sugar), etc. Some really good foods are Solid Gold, Eagle Pack, and Wellness. Anything you can buy in a grocery store is junk.

Answer 5

One of the best thing on the market. Also one of the most expensive.

You don't buy crap food for yourself right? Why would your dog get anything else than the best?

Also, the better food will do wonder on him / her. More compact stools, eat less because the food is more filling.

Answer 6

We feed our dog Science Diet but I think its a little more expensive. He has a sensitive stomache so our vet told us to feed him that and he hasn't had a problem since and he is now 11 years old. The second best is probably Iams. We feed our other dog that. Hope that helps!

Answer 7

Purina Pet Chow

Answer 8

three out of my 4 dogs eat the pedigree adult dry food the other one eats pedigree wet food mixed with royal canine small breeds. and ,y 8 cats eat Cat chow

Answer 9

WELL CONSIDER ING IAMS, PURINA ,SCIENCE DIET,AND NUTRO ARE NOT EVEN IN THE TOP 10 OF FOODS ANY MORE BECAUSE THEY HAVE BECOME SOOOOOOOO COMMERCIAL THEY ARE FULL OF WHOLE CORN MEANING THE FOOD IS BASICALY A FILLER AND SOY AND SOY WHEAT, AND BECAUSE OF THE SOY YOUR DOG CAN ACTUALY BECOME ALLERGIC TO ANYTHING SOY..SO IN THE LONG RUN IT PAYS OFF TO PAY A BIT EXTRA FOR THEIR HEALTH AND LIFE SPAND. MY GERMAN SHEPARD EATS ROYAL KANINE FOR GERMAN SHEPARDS YOU WILL HAVE A BETTER CHANCE OF YOUR DOG LIVING A LONG LONG HEALTHY LIFE WITH VERY FEW PROBLEMS AS THEY GET OLDER BY FEEDING THEM A FOOD MADE FOR THIER BREED. BECAUSE THEY ARE GETTING ALL AND EVERYTHING THAT THEY NEED.

THE FOODS I WOULD RECOMEND ARE ROYAL KANINE, BLUE BUFFALO AND EUKANUBA

Answer 10

raw meat, yogurt, some veggies and supplements.

one of our dogs has severe food allergies, and we went to a homemade diet. she is doing great now, and all the other dogs are also in tip top shape. our dogs are all competition dogs and this diet is amazing. it's also really easy.

this is one of the raw food companies, you just add meat. check it out: http://www.sojos.com/
