What do you feed your pets?

I'm pretty sure it is the same company - they have the same logo, anyways. LOL The difference is that they make quite good horse feed, if I'm not mistaken (I'm not a horse person, so tell me if I'm wrong). But herbivores and carnivores aren't the same type of animal, and you can't apply the same ingredients and ideas to feed livestock like you do pets, IMO. I'm taking an applied animal nutrition class this semester - I don't want to feed my dogs the way I plan the food for the chickens. LOL
Raw, raw, raw 
Maddie's on raw... frankenprey... I attempted to let her try whole prey and she just wouldn't do it :rofl1: That's my girl!
When I'm traveling (like when we went to FL and all that) she gets TOTW. I wanted dehydrated and we dabbled with pre-made raw patties but they're just so pricey, it doesn't really seem worth it for our case.
The ferrets are on raw, almost 100% whole prey But they sometimes get pieces and parts, too.

Chessie and Jinx (cats)- crap! Been trying to switch them to raw but I've given up. I am going to be switching them to better food though. I think I'm going to go with GO!
Toby (rabbit)- Oxbow Bunny Basics T pellets, timothy hay and veggies. Fruit for treats. She passed away on Saturday at the ripe old age of 9!

Ivan and Peewee(the dogs) get raw. Ivan will get some veggies thrown in occasionally.
Cleo(the senegal)get Lafebers cockatiel pellets as free feed. Seeds as a treat and what ever fruit and veggies I can get her to eat. And on special occasions(OK every time I make it), she gets her very own dish of spagetti.
Juliet (the cockatiel) mainly gets seeds. I can't get her to eat much of anything else. During the summer I will pick dandelions and give her.
Hazel(the cat) Mainly gets prey model raw(what ever she can catch) with meijer brand cat food. And for treats she breaks into the house and snags left over meat from dinner.

Finn eats Kirkland, with raw supplemented.
June Bug eats Wellness wet and Kirkland dry.
The ferrets eat a mix of EVO and Zupreem ferret kibbles, as well as raw duck soup a few times a week. They also get pieces of raw meat sometimes, but they're picky on when they feel like eating it.
Yuffie and guinea pigs eat their respective Oxbow brand foods, get fresh Timothy hay, and the pigs get fresh veggies.
Basol eats live superworms and crickets. Ysera eats Repashy CGD with live crickets on occasion.

Fozzie eats half prey model raw and half pre-made raw (Stella & Chewy's and Vital Essentials). For convenience, he occasionally eats Nature's Variety Instinct Salmon/Rabbit kibble and canned.
Gonzo eats The Honest Kitchen Force (chicken) or Keen (turkey) or Zeal (fish), with cooked chicken/turkey/beef. He also gets a digestive aid and Missing Link Senior.
The Bettas eat fresh bloodworms, brine shrimp and spirulina. They get Atison's Betta Pro if I'm too lazy to thaw stuff for them and as a snack.

Morgan eats EVO, usually the Turkey/Chicken large bites, but I'll get other flavors if they happen to be a couple $$ cheaper the day I walk in.
The Kitty-Boy Brothers get a mix of canned Innova and EVO kibble.
The sugar gliders have a staple soft "kibble" from their breeder that is available 24/7, and then they get fresh fruits/veggies/protein every night.
The snakes... I'm going to copy Sizzle on this one... "prey model raw"

Both my kids are on Eukanuba Large Breed Adult Maintenance which I supplement with raw egg twice a week and plain yoghurt every other day. They get raw bones most days now, not meaty ones, just ones to chew on. However when I cannot afford food for my dogs my parents have to buy for the month and they end up on Vets Choice or the same crappy food as Roxy our rescue, who eats Bobtail and I kid you not her favourite food is bread. Ever since we got her we could leave meat on the counter but god forbid if we leave a load of bread its GONE. Leo will eat ANYTHING, Bella however is a fussy eater. I tried a raw wing with her the other day, she took it in her mouth and spat it out, disgusted. "MOTHER!?! How dare you feed me raw food you foul creature!!"
ETA: I also supplement with Mirra-Cote which is an oil supplement, I have been doing it since forever so I forgot to add that: MIRRA-COTE
