Dog Food Thread
Do you cook for your dog? Do you source freezer burned meat and feed them that? Do you look at the ingredient list on the bag... or is Ol'Roy at Walmart at $15 for 40lb of chow good enough food for your dog?
I'm curious how much people spend on food for their furry friends here and if there is anything in particular that they look for in the food they feed them. --- I buy Diamond Naturals All Stages food for my dogs because I have 14 year old dogs and I have 6 month old dogs... it's nice to just feed them all out of one bag. That said, I chose Diamond Naturals because the first two ingredients are both meat. Did reviews and found that the Naturals line of Diamond brand food is rated highly. The kicker, though, is that it is $38 for a 40lb bag. That is by far the cheapest I can find dog food that has meat as it's first two ingredients. https://www.chewy.com/diamond-natura...xoCSVIQAvD_BwE Last edited by Mephistopheles Janx; 11-12-2021 at 11:43 PM.. |

I dont have dogs but I feed my cats a brand I found on some review sites that I've never seen mentioned anywhere else called "Go!". It's not cheap by any stretch of the imagination but the first 5 or 6 ingredients are all protein, same goes for their dog food.

One other thing you really have to look out for is "Ingredient Splitting." There is some shady stuff going on on the dog food world and it pays to do some research.
Here's on article on it, from the place I posted about earlier in the thread. https://www.dogfoodadvisor.com/dog-f...ent-splitting/

I have found country/farm vets are the best. Still gotta find one here.

Just as an FYI, I know that grain-free foods have become increasingly popular over the last ten years (Blue Buffalo, etc.) but there appears to be a link between those foods and an increased risk of dilated cardiomyopathy, especially in certain breeds.

We have a very athletic Vizsla mix and a fat lab mix.
They are both free range over thousands of acres. Basically dog heaven. Purina high protein and energy, with all of our leftovers. Add in hunted rabbits and birds. The Vizsla is such a stud she can catch anything and make it look easy. Drove the 4 wheeler next to her when she's running and she keeps up to 33-34mph and her head looks stationary when she's hauling ass. Not a single wasted motion. |

For anyone that doesn't know, the first ingredient listed is the the largest amount. So, if you dog food lists corn as the first ingredient (or one of the first few) it's garbage.

I give my boxers Blue Buffalo. It's somewhat expensive but it keeps them in good health.

Seems like they are focusing on how much peas and potatoes are replacing the grain. |
