    Our Merle eats mostly Freshpet, different varieties.

    I tried FreshPet! It looked pretty awesome nutritionally speaking!

    Our Basset loves it! It's the highlight of his day (lol), and it has improved his appetite, energy, and playfulness. We try to rotate the varieties--he has liked them all so far.

    We buy diamond naturals beef and rice formula from Amazon. I also make them brown rice mixed with canned dog food, a little extra veg and plain yogurt to supplement the kibble.

    Because our dog is overweight, our vet wants her on Royal Canin satiety kibble, but because I don't think anyone is meant to just eat kibble all the time, I swap out 1/3 of that and give her the caloric equivalent in boiled chicken, or a Nature's Recipe Chicken and Tuna tray.

    I feed some high-protein kibble from a local feed mill. Formulated for working dogs according to the label. Daisy's coat and skin looks good and she has more than enough energy.

    I usually feed the same type food consistently if it seems to be working well for the dog. I have seen digestive "issues" when/if their diet is changed

    I feed my 2 dogs purina proplan. They seem to like it. I also top Hamish's with green beans(hes on a diet) and the other one gets a scoop of generic wet food.

    My little legal beagle is on a prescription diet (Royal Canin). I substitute boiled chicken and/or canned tuna for 1/4 of her serving in the morning because otherwise she won't eat it.

    I feed my Boston Orijen kibble. I was feeding him the recommended amount and he was blowing up. Now I give a little under the recommended amount for breakfast and supper but I replace calories with a lot of trainning treats and other home cooked toppers.

    I feed him scrambled eggs sometimes, baked sweet potato, zuchini (cooked), sweet corn, plain rice, kidney beans, canned tuna (plain), plain chicken and if he's a good boy he gets a bite of bacon on Sundays.

    Raw things he eats are carrots, cucumbers, strawberries, blueberries, cantaloupe and apple, peas.

    I checked with the Vet and all of it was ok. His weight is back down. He's very lean.

    Now if I could just do that for myself that'd be great.
