What is your type/ brand of food choice? 1 Year, 1 Month ago Karma: 0
Jenny and I have had the best luck feeding lamb and rice brands. We used to feed Canidae, but it was getting too expensive. Fortunately, our local pet food warehouse Mounds had their own brand with identical ingredients. Their version was twelve dollars a bag cheaper. Our dogs seem to like the new brand just as much and we've seen no changes in stool or coat since the switch. What works for you? What brands do you have luck with?

With Bailey's skin problems and health issues as she rounds old age I decided to start doing some research on dog foods.I came across Innova(Natura pets) and was very impressed with their ingredient list and quality of product. Their coats are shiny and Bailey's energy levels have increased. They are both chow hounds and love the stuff.

I'll have to take a look at Innova. We just recently switched back to Canidea. Our local pet warehouse offered a good lamb and rice alternative with Omega 3's, which worked well in the winter. However, as we've gotten into the summer months my dogs started shedding excessively. We switched back to Canidea and we're already seeing improvements. The Canidea was higher in Omegas. There is certainly something to be said for premium brands. They cost more up front, but the long term benefits outweigh the upfront cost. Thanks for the suggestion.

I agree I don't mind paying a little more for a good quality product. Bailey had started loosing her top coat and had really slowed down sleeping most of the day. I saw an improvement in her energy levels right away. Her coat grew back in over a couple of months and now it is beautiful and silky. Canidae is another product that had good ratings along with Solid Gold,Origen,Natural Balance to name a few. The link below has some good articles and info regarding dog food products and Raw food diets. NaturaPets, makers of Innova,Karma and California Natural also has a comparison calculator that you can measure other products by.
