Turner and Hooch get Whiskas dry food. Tried them on nicer stuff (Eukanuba, Iams, Purina) but Hooch turned her nose up at it and Turner got really sick! Turner cant have fish in dried food either! A cat that cant eat fish? Insane! And dont get me started on the mess he makes with wet food :sick:
Oliver (cat age 2) will not eat any salmon or tuna. But, he can devourer a pineapple or strawberry lol0 -
Our kitties get the Iams Adult food, and the pugs get Blue. It's formulated by size/breed.0

Was feeding blue buffalo, but they started having tummy trouble suddenly.
Switched to Canidae. So far so good.0 -
My cats eat Blue Buffalo brand & have been for about 7 years! They love it & the veterinarian was impressed when she asked me because a lot of people around here feed their cats Meow Mix!0

My bullie eats Orijen.
Makes her coat shiny, her breath fresh, her teeth white, and her poops small. :P0 -

The vet told me that shopping down aisles that have Meow Mix, Purina, And Friskies is like basically picking up McDonalds for your pet lol0 -
Wellness Core is the bomb.com. My little Chihuahua has seen massive improvements since switching to this brand. She sheds less, has a softer coat, maintains a healthy weight and is overall doing well on it.
She's still a little ***** though. :-) And I love her.0 -
We have 3 dogs, a Great Dane, a German Shepherd, and a Pug. They have all been on a raw diet. The Dane is the youngest and she has been on it since the day we got her as a pup. The Shepherd started at 5 months old after I had researched it. The pug is the oldest and he went on it the same time the Shep did. I use mostly chicken leg quarters, whole chickens, and chicken backs, pork shoulders (with the bone), deer meat my brother gives me, liver, kidney, trimmings from beef that we eat, anything I can find really. I also do "pizza night" once a week and give them some Innova EVO red meat dry food. Supplement with eggs and fish oil.
Such a good Fur Dad!
Thanks! They eat better than we do! 0 -
We feed our dog Pedigree. My vet didn't have any issues with that and he's been fine on it.0

Maybe fine now, but long term, that kind of food will cause problems. Of course the vet doesn't mind- you'll be taking the dog to him for allergies, shots, lick sores, tumors/lumps- all from feeding that kind of food. Vets hate raw diets because the dogs are healthy and don't need vet visits. Mine haven't been to the vet for anything but rabies shots in years, aside from my Dane who has some health issues that are not diet related.
Sadly, most vets have little nutrition training. They push Science Diet and all that stuff which is horrible food- because they make money off of it. When we 1st looked into raw for our Shepherd, we had an 11 year old mix breed dog who had been fed on Pedigree for years. She stunk, she had dandruff, bad breath, her coat was dull and dry, she constantly shed, to the point we shaved her in the summer. We just thought that was how dogs were supposed to be. We put her on raw the same time as everyone else. 3 months later, we had a totally different dog. Thick, shiny coat, no bad breath, leaner, not more dandruff or shedding. More vitality/vigor.
Here's a before and an after shot of her:
Before
After- that isn't silver hair, thats the sun shining off of her.

He is absolutely right. And my dog is also living proof. She was on it for most of her life and all she had were allergies, got diabetes and had tumors. Since making the switch to Wellness Core, she's been perfectly healthy. No issues at all! If I had more money then I have now, I would do a raw diet as well.0 -
The cats get Healthwise for dry food, supplimented with Tiki Cat canned food (Ahi Tuna). I think my cats eat better than I do >.<0

Carrots, Lettuce, and tangerines....Yeap you guessed it I have a rabbit!!0

Our dog Mister AKA Derp was constantly chewing on his stomach and lower legs-- so much so my husband starting calling him "*kitten*." We switched him to the Castor & Pollux brand with no grain or corn and he stopped doing it. I'm assuming an allergy. I've never had it tested.

We would never feed our baby Pedigree or any of that supermarket garbage.
She's not on raw, but we switched from a natural product containing grain, to the grain-free version. It made a HUGE difference in her, um, flatulence levels. SO much better. And she has a lot more energy, just seems generally healthier.
It's not natural for dogs to eat grains, so we think the grain-free products are the way to go.0 -
Oh crap! You are supposed to feed em? Doh!0

I used to feed our dogs Taste of the Wild Salmon (which I LOVE) but we recently discovered that Costo's grain-free salmon food is EXACTLY the same as Taste of the Wild. They're even made in the same factory. Best of all, the cost is about $20 less for a bigger bag.0

I feed my kitty a gluten-free high protein dry food and I give her 1/3 can of organic tuna (the kind for people) 3-4 times a week. Sometimes I give her some turkey or chicken cut up.0

Ours used to eat either Pedigree or Alpo which I discovered were actually not the greatest of foods even though they were a bit pricey.
They now eat Actrium... we buy it at Walmart and it's actually rated pretty good. There is no gluten and no byproducts in it.
All three of the dogs in the house eat it. It's a bit more expensive than the Alpo they used to eat but without the crap, byproducts and fillers they eat less of the food itself.0 -
All natural food with Calcium spray added for my tortoise, Blue dry food for the cats...although they refuse to eat the healthy wet food...so we found a middle ground to compromise with them

I feed my cats IAM's hairball control dry cat food so they're not coughing up hairballs all over the place (before that they were eating Meow Mix which they loved but threw up frequently), pounce cat treats and a small amount of whatever we're having for dinner (beef, chicken, fish etc.).
My cats are 18 and 12 years old and both are a normal weight and healthy.0 -

Good choice on making the switch! 0 -

Cats are so picky! I have one who hates wet food but loves fruits lol.0 -
We feed ours Freshpet and Vital. They are the same company. They both are human grade meats made into sausages. The one company "Freshpet" has a chicken roll with veggies and the other has a turkey with cranberry that our dog loves. Before, we couldn't get our pet to eat ANY dry foods..it was a fight. We had to cook foods to finally convince him to eat. Finally, we found Freshpet and now he eats with no arguments and loves it. It was worth every penny.

My dogs eat blue buffalo and my kitten eats simply nourish... they love it!0

My German Shepherds get Fromm Gold. I had one of them on Chicken Soup for the Dog Lovers Soul but noticed a drastic decline in her energy level. I switched her to Fromm and made sure the calories were the same and she's thriving again.
I also give them chicken, eggs, cheese, and veggies as a treat.0
