Answer 2

Nothing you find at a grocery store is going to be a good food. High quality foods can be found at large pet store chains, or online. A couple of foods I like are Nutro Natural, Innova, Innova Evo and Cannidae.

There are other high quality dog foods. Here's how to spot them:

A high quality food will have little or no fillers such as corn, wheat or soy. These aren't very digestable for dogs, and are common food related allergens. Since you were seeing corn meal in the first few ingredients, those are not high quality foods. Foods list ingredients by content, with the ingredient it contains most of at the top.

A high quality food will not contain BHT, BHA or Ethoxyquin, these are all chemical preservatives that have been linked to cancer.

A high quality food will not contain by-products of any kind. Meat meals are ok as long as the source of the meat is listed, such as Chicken Meal.

A high quality diet should have meat as at least the first ingredient., and be made from human grade ingredients. Foods that don't use human grade ingredients often get their ingredients from less than desirable sources, such as meat from animals that were diseased, or euthanized.

There is another diet option other than dog food. Some people choose to feed a raw diet. This involves feeding the dog raw meaty bones and organ meat. However it is not as simple as throwing a couple chicken bones in a bowl everyday. If you wish to feed this type of diet, do lots and lots of research first. Switching to this diet without knowing what your doing can lead to nutritional problems for your dog. I'll give you some links as a starting point in research if you are interested in this type of diet.

You'll also find that while high quality foods may be a bit more expensive, you'll often feed much less of it than you would a low quality food. Also your dog will be healthier, which means less trips to the vet.

Answer 3

Well I have miniature schnauzer as well and I feed her with Nutro. It is really good food, the 20 pounds bag costs around $21.00 and it last for more than a month, I think because he is still very tiny the 20 lbs. bag will last more than 2 months. My min. schnauzer is 7 months old and she is eating 2 3/4 cups per day. The only thing that I do not like a bout this food is the gases that she does, smell so bad. But generally the food is really good.

Answer 4

We have a very small Pom and a long haired Chihuahua and we feed them Cesar dog food. It's made for small dogs. You should also mix in some small dry food for tooth health. They need to chew on something besides wet dog food.

Answer 5

Purina One.

Compare it to Iams, Eukanuba, or any of the other pricey ones.

It contains the right amount of protein, fiber, fat, vitamins, and even glucosamine for their joints.

I have had my dog for 10 years. He's been on Purina One the entire time except for one week when I tried Iams. He pooped 2x as much, easily, so you know there are too many fillers in it.

They make a puppy formula, a weight watcher formula, a senior formula, and a few dif flavors.

(i swear I don't work for Purina!)

Answer 6

Try Sciencediet and if he has trouble chewing hard food try wetting it down w/water

PLEASE NEVER GIVE YOU DOG GREENIES THEY HAVE CAUSED DOGS TO DIE, ESPECIALLY SMALLER DOGS.
