What are you currently feeding?

[Julee]

My guys are on prey model raw. I haven't paid to feed them since last September. Currently feeding a lot of rabbit (was just given around 50 whole rabbits for free), organs are almost exclusively pork and lamb, a quite a bit of beef and salmon/steelhead, and the rest is made up of mostly chicken/pork/turkey. Sometimes duck, pheasant and elk. About to get approximately 100lbs of alpaca for free, and folks are starting to clean out their freezers for hunting season... lots of venison coming my way.

Acana duck & pear for the most part. It's what he does best on. Either Weruva canned or Cesar wet food mixed in at dinner. We did just buy a bag of Go! duck limited ingredient because he loved the sample we got and he seems to just do really well on duck so don't wanna mess with a good thing.

 

[Maxy24]

Fromm Gold Small Breed dry food with Wellness Stews canned food. His gas is MUCH better on Fromm than it was on ToTW. That's really the only issue he's ever had that I can relate to food. His farts still smell horrible but they are much less frequent than they used to be.

Man, I would have killed for an opportunity like that when Caleb was alive (and the freezer room to do it)!

I'm feeding Owen The Honest Kitchen's Duck (the Halcyon line). He came to me on one of the Iams RX foods (for no other reason than his previous owner worked for a vet and got a discount), and with an unopened box of THK. There's a big difference in his coat since I switched him 3 weeks ago.

 

[stardogs]

Acana Duck and Pear currently, but it'll be the lamb and apple in about 2 weeks, and maybe something Fromm after that LOL

 

[Paviche]

They're all currently on Taste of the Wild Pacific Stream.

 

[Southpaw]

Blue Buffalo. I think my free year supply ends in December (waaahhhh) and at that point I'll have to see what I can get discounted at work. Might just go with Pro Plan.

 

[lancerandrara]

Acana Wild Prairie for Rara, and Acana Chicken & Burbank Potato for Lancer.

We used to feed a specific homemade diet (steamed chicken breast, white rice, broccoli/peas, carrots, and other goods) for Rara for years after she developed a stomach ulcer and her digestive system was too weak to take dog food. But she was able to gradually convert to Acana about a year ago.

I soak both Lancer and Rara's food in water and keep it in the fridge. Each time, the amount lasts about 3 days. Thoroughly soaked food makes for better digestion and less smelly poops.

Blue Buffalo. I think my free year supply ends in December (waaahhhh) and at that point I'll have to see what I can get discounted at work. Might just go with Pro Plan.

I just learned that Blue apparently has a vet staff feeding program. Our clinic currently only has Science Diet. I could do ProPlan (which we don't offer) but Science Diet is just ick

ETA: My crew have been going between Fromm Classic and Victor

 

[pinkspore]

Canine Caviar venison, Real Meat beef, Wysong Epigen venison, Acana Ranchlands, some canned Canine Caviar and Ziwi Peak for training treats. I'm going through about a cup of kibble a day for three dogs because cattledogs are mostly powered by demonic forces rather than calories.

I would be thrilled if people around here had freezers full of unwanted meat, but nobody hunts...at all.

 

[straw]

Venice is also normally on PMR that I spend maybe 15 bucks a month on... But we're hunking with the in-laws until we find our own place so I no longer have freezer space.

So she's on Fromm 4 star. She smells funny and her poop and farts were something I'd forgotten about

 

[SpringerLover]

I've gone back to a kibble base for all dogs. For convenience. Right now I have Fromm grain inclusive mixed with Earthborn Primitive Naturals. And then Bailey gets a hard boiled eggs or raw beef added to each meal as well. Her food gets soaked in water with a digestive enzyme for at least 24 hours before she eats it. And no more poop troubles. I keep wanting to go back to raw but haven't placed my order. So kibble it is for now. Everyone gets Seameal and Pollock oil added.

Diego is on canned and HK right now because of his MMM. But hopefully going back to kibble in the next couple of weeks as he goes through 1 cup of HK and 2 large cans of food right now.

 

[Bruschnazzy]

Diamonds Grain-Free mixed with Nutro kibble, specific depends on what I buy that day, with Nutro wet food.

 

[Dogdragoness]

I am feeding pro pac grain free, with my free sample of wellness' "trufood" mixed in that I got, but after that is gone, I will likely switch to Victor grain free, it is a little more expensive, but it is a better food. If they dont do well on that, then I will likely try Holistic select.

 

[Laurelin]

Whatever I feel like picking up. It's real systematic. . Highly dependent on what store is open/nearby when I have to pick up kibble. Right now we are finishing up a bag of Merrick. Not sure what comes next.

The one stipulation is that hank gets at least half raw/freeze dried. He just does so much better that way. And the girls get jealous so they all get some. And we do canned on occasion. Usually mixed in. And things like eggs or cottage cheese and salmon oil a couple times a week. They like THK and we've tried addiction and some other brands like NRG.

They are spoiled but hank has put on a lot of muscle and he finally has less gas and runs.

 

[Dekka]

I wish I could do raw, just time and space don't allow it.

Dekka is on orijen freeze dried. She isn't a fan and we have a big box of HK on order here at work to switch too when it comes in. Schen is on what ever bag of orijen amuses me when I go to buy it.

For supplements dogs get raw bones on occasion and Tripett. Dekka is on Recovery and LubriSyn

 

[StompinT]

Sigh.

Cooked ground beef and rice for the last week, after our failure at raw. Still has milkshake poops and is crazily itchy.

Before that it was Acana Pork and Squash. He did ok on it, poops were really soft and he was itchy. As usual. Have tried 1 million other kibbles.

Transitioning to hydrolyzed protein diet from Vet now. I can't stand how greasy it seems, but whatever. At this point I'd kill for a formed poop.

 

[amberdyan]

Right now it's Fromm grain free beef frittata, but we're almost out so he'll get something else in a about a week or so. More fromm with a different protein, acana or orijen. Maybe Go! It all depends on what they have at our local pet store.

He also gets something added on almost every day. An egg, some canned food, sometimes a meal replaced with freeze dried raw if I can get a sample, or some raw meat if I'm feeling up to it (usually turkey, beef or venison). I occasionally give him raw liver and he freaks out about it. Sweet potato if I'm eating it and feeling like sharing, lol.

My crazy boy who had stomach/poop/food issues for 8 months is finally better. He gets a big variety of food and does so well. Small, formed stools, not a terrible shedder and his coat is gorgeous. So, so happy.

 

[skittledoo]

Pro Plan Sport for my crew. I might be switching Itztli back onto raw though or I might try him on THK or do homecooked meals. My issue with him is he is ridiculously picky so any kind of kibble he's on he stops eating after being on it for a few days. He never refused raw when he was on a raw diet and imo he looked really good on raw. My issue is freezer space and expense. My other dogs are all doing great on Pro Plan Sport.

 

[k9krazee]

We rotate through the Fromm varieties, grain inclusive & free. We now skip Salmon as both dogs refused to eat the last bag.
