My dog was eating Beneful wet and dry food. After a stern talking to from my vet and learning that Beneful is one of the WORST dog food out there, we are starting the process of switching him over to 'Wellness'. Just curious what everyone else feeds their dog.

    I too use Beneful for my Golden, and she has no problems and loves the food

    Iams.

    We fed our dogs Purina for years and they were very healthy and lived very long lives. Now they say Purina is bad for them. I think it's all a scam.

    I dont feed commercial dog food, i feed a raw mix, which is made up of veal, pork, chicken frames, offal, and a small amount of veg, and some oils and yoghurt

    They dont need the cereal that majority of dog foods are full of

    I feed my dog Orijen. Its a grain free dog food. Grain is no good for dogs, but is found in nearly every brand :(. It took me some time to find a grain free product, but once I did my dog has never looked better :).

    My lab eats Eukanuba. I tried switching to a healthier brand a while back but a couple weeks later he got really sick. Not sure if it was related, but I switched back and he's been fine since.

    We use Natural Balance which we find at Pet Smart. It's a really good food & our dogs actually eat less of it because it fills them up properly. But it's expensive. About $50 for a 30 lb bag. But our dogs are small so a 30 lb bag lasts us forever.

    My puppy's spoiled and gets fed Royal Canin. Our older dog and our cat get fed the regular stuff, like Iams or whatever.

    It's not a scam. Read the ingredients. If it starts with corn then that's what your dogs are eating the majority of. How about you? Do you want a big corn diet for yourself or do you think you'd be healthier eating rice & chicken as your primary diet?

    Same here! My girl is an Orijen girl!

    Sometimes for fun, I'll mix in a little Merrick's wet food - You should see the stuff they have!!!

    We have bought wellness and also Evo.... the cats prefer the evo wet food hands down to anything else... of course the dog will just eat whatever is in front of her so I'm judging by the cats. :laugh:

    Could be a food related allergy... have you tried a lamb and rice formula?

    Agreed. I never gave a 2nd thought to what I was feeding my animals until about 3 years ago my oldest cat started to get very sick, was losing her fur in big patches and was licking her feet until they would bleed and get all nasty. After a trip to the vet and a course of meds the vet said to start feeding her grain and byproduct free. If the food says "chicken meal" or anything "meal" in the ingredients then it's a byproduct and is just crap. My (now 16 yr old) cat is healthier than she has been in the last 5 or 6 years... shiney coat... dandruff is gone... no more bald patches or licking.

    Well, when your large dogs live very healthy lives until they are 15 years old, I think that's a good indication that you're doing something right.

    We feed him Diamond Naturals. I love love love Blue Buffalo but DN isn't bad at all, and more economic for us at the moment.

    Purina Puppy Chow :p

    She's not quite big enough for "big girl" food.
    But I want the best for her after she gets there c:

    I'm a total food snob. I fed Wellness Core or Taste of the Wild for a long time, but about 6 months ago switched to all raw.

    LOL don't feel like a snob - a raw diet is the best for your dog, for those who can do it, so good on ya!

    Oh, and I love your pitty :) sooo adorable!
