I am new here here, and am interested in what everyone feeds their dogs. We feed Diamond Naturals. The Natural formulas don't have any corn, wheat soy by-products etc.... I have been seeing where there is talk of feeding homemade cooked diets, but I would be afraid of not getting all of the needed nutrition in.

I feed Diamond Naturals to the adults, regular Diamond Puppy to the pups. I really like the food (and cost!) all my dogs do GREAT on it.

Switching to raw when I get the freezer space for it, but for now we're on Nature's Variety Prairie. Not too thrilled with it...going back to EVO (probably the RM this time) as soon as I can! I hate picking up non-grain-free poop!

I'm really happy with it as well. My adults are on the chicken/rice Naturals, and we have an Australian shepherd pup on the puppy formula,too. I'll be glad when he gets to the age for the Naturals.

I'm feeding Acana - Prairie Harvest, grain free and loving it! I also plan on rotating among the 3 grain free options that this company provides (chicken, fish & lamb based).

I've fed Diamond Naturals without sucess...but am currently feeding Kirkland (from Costco) and everyone's doing quite well, even though I'm pretty sure it's made by the same company? I was feeding Purina Pro Plan but the kind I liked I had to drive across town for, and Costco is right up the street.

I feed two of the boys TOTW. Jules has been eating it for well over a year and Grimm has been eating it since we brought him home (he's 10 months now) and they both look fantastic.

Aesop eats a mix of TOTW and Natural Balance lamb and rice...he gets the gross poos if eating strictly a grain free food, but he likes the taste and won't eat if there isn't some in his dish:rolleyes: The mixture of the two seems to do well..keeps his stool fine and keeps him eating:p

Ginger has eaten a variety. She has megaesophagus, so can only have very small kibbles (she ate a canned food gruel for over a year before deciding she no longer wanted canned food and refused all but kibble) She was eating Halo's salmon formula, which she enjoyed along with Aesop, but now that he switched the kibbles are too large. So I'm going to go kibble experimenting to find something with tiny bites.

ETA that they get raw treats and as meals once in awhile.

Juno is on Taste of the Wild, but I'm trying to find something else to switch her to. She looks great, her coat is fine and her weight is fine on it--I'm just not happy with her poops. I don't know if it's just this particular food or if puppies just shouldn't be on grain-free, but yeah, I'm looking into something else to try.

Lucy is still on Nutro because I'm still trying to figure out what to do with her... she's so darn picky.

Allie's on EVO RM, Ruby's on TOTW, and Rocket's on Pro Plan.

Noodle eats her pick ;) She gets a nice variety from the other three.

Saga is on TOTW Pacific Stream with some TOTW wetlands mixed in. I had a small bag of the fowl so it's getting supplemented. She also gets treats of whatever good canned food I feel like adding a couple times a week.

Django and Juno ( My non custodial Aussie and his "sister") are on a combo of TOTW Bison and Merrick with some Nature's Variety Raw mixed in.

Fozzie is eating Acana Grasslands & Pacifica, and Gonzo is eating Acana Prairie Harvest & Pacifica. Gonzo and lamb-based kibbles do not mix well! They both get a few raw meals a week, both RMBs and Grandad's pre-made.

Taste Of The Wild reminds of something I have been meaning to ask. From what I have seen of that, it is an "all life stages" formula. I'm sort of leary of that because differant life stages require different nutrition. So, I guess my question is, is that really as healthy for a puppy as an adult?
