I know we've had "what do you feed your dog" threads, but I thought I start a thread about all your pets!

I don't control what any of my pets eat, since they're all really my parent's pets, except for Toby, my cat, and Romeo, my horse. But since Toby lives at my mom's house, he eats whatever her cats eat, and my horse is boarded, so he eats whatever the owner of the barn feeds.

Maggie and Reecie eat Blue Buffalo (a mixture of the chicken and the fish formula) after me begging my mom to stop feeding them Kibbles N Bits and Pedigree.

The cats still eat crappy food, unfortunately. Meow Mix or something like that. When I get my apartment and Toby can live with me, he is being switched over to grain free really quick ;)

And the horses eat....I have no idea. They stay on pasture 24/7, and get grain in two times a day, morninga and evening. Not sure what brand.

Once I get a house of my own, ALL my pets will be raw fed (or naturally fed for the omnivores, like the rats.)

So, share :D

Mutts: Raw on a daily basis, but they get Orijen when traveling and whatnot.
Kittymonsters: Same as the mutts. Raw, but I keep Orijen on hand in case I need to go out of town or something.

Sassy is on a complete grain-free diet. She gets Acana in the morning for dry food, and Fromm in the evenings for wet foods. We rotate through the three varieties of Acana (Wild Prairie, Pacifica, Grasslands) and the four varieties of the Fromm (Chicken/Duck/Salmon, Chicken/Salmon, Duck/Chicken, Salmon/Tuna).

Missy and Jack aren't on a grain-free diet now, but that's the eventual plan. Right now, they're getting Fromm Chicken A La Veg, but I'm planning on doing a rotation of Fromm (Beef Frittata Veg, Surf & Turf) and Blue Buffalo Wilderness (Chicken, Duck, Salmon). Jack gets a variety of canned foods in the morning with his kibble, and they both get raw at night, as well as a raw egg 1-2 times a week.

The parakeets get L'Avian seed blend, as well as fresh fruits and veggies.

This week he's eating a raw turkey in it's entirety, except the head and feet.

Normally he eats Kirkland kibble or TOTW kibble, as he does really well on them.

Lucy is on Kirkland and Juno is on Natures Domain. We are very pleased to finally have a Costco nearby.

The cat is on a prescription diet, Hills C/D, after having a urethral obstruction. I think he would do fine on a normal kibble as long as we added water to it, but he hasn't had a recurrence since being on this food, so we're just going to leave him be and not take a chance.

The rats get senior dog food. Usually Wellness but sometimes I'll switch it up if I have a coupon for something else. The get fruits and veggies and other goodies as well.

Sal.... Stella and Chewy's Raw Diet
Stella & Chewy's - Dinners
Rotating protein source with each bag.

Dotty..... also Stella and Chewy's Raw Diet with added Orijen for a little extra protein and variety.

I also allow them to cull small children in the neighborhood to satisfy the "natural" taste for blood ;)

Sierra is on predominately raw, with the occasional meal of kibble (usually grain free: Acana, Orijen, Wellness Core, Fromm, Now!, etc.)

Buddy is fed much more kibble than he used to get lately, but it makes it a lot easier to leave food out when we leave for an overnight trip. He still gets quite a bit of canned and raw.

My dogs eat TOTW kibble and supplemental/recreational raw. I hope to eventually feed them completely raw, but for one thing, I don't have the freezer space.
The cats eat TOTW kibble also and I rotate their wet food between Wellness CORE and Nature's Variety.

Rosey gets the grocery store brand dog food, President's Choice Nutrition First.

The ferrets get EVO ferret for their kibble, since Rascal needs food accessible 24/7, but are on mainly raw.

Logan: Diamond Naturals Extreme Athlete

Gavroche: Taste of the Wild...currently lamb formula, but I rotate flavors

The cats: When my mom buys food, they get whatever's cheapest. When I buy their food, it's either 4Health or Taste of the Wild

Jackson eats Orijen/Acana kibble and also gets canned food every day (we typically rotate between Nature's Variety, Wellness, Castor & Pollux, Go! Endurance, among a few other canned foods). He also gets Stella & Chewy's raw patties a few times a week.

My dads cats are just fed Iams or something crappy.

My dads dogs used to be fed Iams until I kind of informed them... now they try to get healthy food most of the time and their currently on Wellness Core Reduced Fat. But occasionally they will still pick up a cheap bag of food.

My step-dad owns racehorses and when we visited them in the barn, I noticed they were fed something by Purina, I think? I didn't know they made horse food.

Brittany, Purina makes food for pretty much everything. They sell food for zoo animals as well. It's called Mazuri, I think? It's what I used to feed my rats.

That's funny! I don't know why, I guess I just think of dog/cat food when it comes to Purina, so it surprised me.

Ozzy rotates between the Natural Balance LID bags, and the original formula.

Enzo gets the TOTW High Prairie for breakfast and dinner, and she's been getting lunch at work which is Wellness canned Puppy food.

The cats, if my mom buys for them, get purina, and if I buy for them, get TOTW.
