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.

Only food he's ever eaten other than once when the Egg House was out, and canned the few times I haven't been able to get to the Egg House before running out.

Well shit... I kinda wish I had a Costco membership now. That is $8 per bag less expensive than what I use and I'm plenty pleased with the ingredients.

Nice find!

You really need to think about giving him some kind of chocolate supplement to balance out his diet.

Pretty sure that brand had several recalls in the last year.

They had one on certain lot numbers. And that's why the Egg House didn't have any in stock.

BTW, the dogfoodadvisor website recommendation was a great one. I have been using it for years. Was just reading this and thought it would be good to share here. Look at that Kibbles and Bits Homestyle ingredients label.

-BHA (a controversial preservative that causes cancer)
-Corn Syrup
-Propylene glycol (isn't that engine coolant?
-Titanium dioxide (WTF? This is what is used to make paint and thermoplastics white in color)

A good read on these so-called premium/gourmet/natural/homestyle labels.

Same stuff I use - same reasons.

Spent several days doing homework on it when I got my first dog about 15 years ago. Then we picked up his sibling about 7 months later (owner couldn't keep him). He was nowhere near as deep brown and within about 2 months his coat had changed color to the same deep chocolate his brothers had always had with us. To my eyes that was proof positive of the quality of the food. I haven't felt inclined to re-educate myself on reading the damn dog-food label so I've just stuck with what works.

Now with the rotty I suspect I should probably get something a little higher in protein content since he's just so damn high drive and high energy. 3 years old and he's still a tornado. Ultimately I could probably feed him live cats and he'd still be a terror so whatever.

One thing I will note is that all my dogs have ended up on the smaller side of where I expected. The rotty especially. His dad was a moose and his mom quite big as well. He was the clear alpha of the litter (still a headstrong ass) and the biggest puppy but he's just never broken 80 lbs. My 2 chocolate labs were around 72-78 depending on how close I monitored them (they dropped into the 68 lb range in their teens when they slowed down and I tried to keep the weight off them through senior food to protect their hops. The black lab sits around 85-90 (he's a tank; just built differently -- still on the shorter side of breed standard though).

Not sure if the foods played a role or if it's just some fluke coincidences. Afterall, the 'rescue' sibling started on a different food through a lot of his development months and ended up the same size as his brother with our chocolates. And the black is as healthy as can be, just never got very tall. His mom was on the squatter side as well. So maybe the Rotty was just a bit of a fluke occurence.

We have a full size Bernedoodle. She is quit sensitive to chicken and chicken byproducts. This is what we found works great.

Nice find!
We have noticed this on heavier stuff that isn't too expensive, they bake the shipping into the online site cost.

We use this same food for our GSD mix. Costco Nature's Domain is made by Diamond (confirmed) and I believe the grain-inclusive Kirkland food is made at the Diamond facilities with a Costco recipe.

Usually just adult Purina dog chow. But after hearing the ads on the radio a few thousand times I went and ordered some Dinovite and have been mixing it in with their food the past few weeks. It has all kinds of supplements and vitamins in it. Their coats are looking better and they seem more energetic these days. Has anyone used Dinovite before? Just wondering if it's worth it.

We use "Taste of the Wild" grain free, Buffalo and Bison. Rated highly on the link Bwana posted.

Our two dogs, both in my lap right now, a Yorkie and a Yorkie/Pom mix are pretty particular and still sort through the kibble and set aside anything they don't like.

According to the link Bwana posted, it is made here in Missouri.

Mrs. mixes canned Pedigree chunks with it since our 14 year old has only a couple teeth left. I just looked it up and the canned stuff is rated poorly.

Now we need to find a canned one that is rated better.

Thanks for posting this thread. If people were like dogs we would have no problems in this world.

If you live in the KC area near a Natural Grocers or HyVee, you can find a local (Lawrence, KS) based dog food business that my buddy and his brother recently started called Love Grub. Great guys and my dog seems to be quite happy with their food. You can look up the ingredients they use at https://www.mylovegrub.com/our-products
