Default Grain-Free Dog Kibble

What will you recommand? Also what are some recommanded wet canned/package dog food? And how often could I feed them wet canned foods with dry kibble still beinging their regular diet? Also I would like to feed them cooked foods sometimes, how often can I do that with dry kibble beinging their regular diet? And what meats & veggies, maybe even some grain? like rice, fruits, and dairy products, do you recommand that I feed them? Thanks.

I use Innova's EVO Red Meat kibble. You can add raw or cooked stuff pretty much as you wish, just keep in mind the amount of calories you're feeding and protein/carb/fiber/fat ratio similar to what's in the kibble. There are all sorts of formulae you could probably look up and sweat over, but it would make you nuts, lol.

And check out Mordy's site for good guidelines and info on other grain free foods.

Okay thanks. I was thinking of feeding them cooked food like on weekend days. Also is wet canned food a no-no?

Do they sell that brand in PetCo or Petsmart?

What are okay treats, rawhide, chews, and bones I can give to my dog. I'm clueless on this, I usually buy whatever is the cheapest at Wal-mart. But I want to start giving them something more of quality, but not to pricey.

Renee, I wish I would've known you fed that - I just gave two bags away. Hannah can't eat it anymore since she's been on her prescription diet. Rats.

I have been feeding Orijen to my gang when raw just isnt an option ( not too often that is) and I am really pleased with it.
There was an issue about "zee mays" which is corn... just the proper name for it. However after alot of emailing and answers I realized it wasnt even in the formula I was feeding.
Keep an eye out for little tricks such as that when searching out foods.

You can often do searches on the webpages for these foods to find providers near you. Generally it seems they are smaller mom and pop or independantly run stores not places like Petsmart.
