So I just found out Blue Buffalo is now involved in a lawsuit due to extremely high levels of lead. I'm curious what everyone is feeding your mutt?

Castle Key and I feed our Leos OC Raw. It's an organically sourced raw meat and appropriate fruit and vegetable product.

All three of the hunden seem to be doing well on it.

Mine just eats cornbread.

Rabbits, opossum, raccoons, armadillos, beavers and she steals the cats friskies every time we come to the cabin.

At least she isn't stealing the cat.

I'm guessing she has something else in mind.

The chicken shepherd comes with me every time I check on my birds, I pay him off with a couple of whole eggs. Also fry eggs for him. I use that to supplement his normal dry Pure balance stuff which seems to be a decent food.

Costco grain free naturals, supplemented with raw veggies and deer and beef bones.

Purina One Smartblend True Instinct . Bucky needed to put on weight.

Supplemented by a variety of human food.

MillCreek · « **Reply #9 on:** March 08, 2018, 05:52:14 PM »

Purina One Smartblend turkey and venison or beef and sweet potato, alternating to keep him interested. Plus the occasional table scrap, jerky treats, Milk bones and rawhide chew sticks.

*expletive deleted*it, Dude, why do you hate your dog?

Never been a big fan of Iams.

I find that the raw diet fanatics are kind of the vegans of the canine world... They spend a lot of time giving everyone else *expletive deleted*it and won't ever shut up about how great their food is.

Science diet.

Order it with Amazon subscribe and save, and it's like 32 bucks a bag after applied discounts. Not a bad deal.

PREACH ON!

I'm a big believer in the raw diet after what I went through with Mason. But yeah, some of them are complete and total whack jobs. I was a member of a raw feeding group on Facebook and the *expletive deleted*it they would give people who would even consider feeding a part-time diet of kibble was unbelievable. I ended up dropping my membership because some of them were so *expletive deleted*ing nuts.

Diamond Natural. They make the Costco dog food. My 4 pooches thrive on it. I alternate between 40# bags of Chicken w/rice and Lamb w/rice. A bag averages 19.5 days before I have to open the next one. They also get ample taxes, scraps, and rewards.

Oh, and shingle cheese. I have no idea what the idiot would do for a Klondike bar, but it's damn near anything just to hear that cellophane wrapper.

K Frame · « **Reply #18 on:** March 09, 2018, 07:04:26 AM »

Mason could be upstairs, sound asleep. I could be downstairs in the kitchen, with the TV on in the living room.

I swear he could hear the zip closure on the cheese package opening.

He'd come pounding downstairs and demand his doggy due in the form of a piece of cheese.

Purina Pro Plan Chicken and Rice or Lamb and Rice. My Weimeraner has a picky constitution and this is the only food he will eat and not puke or get the shits from.

Kingcreek · « **Reply #20 on:** March 09, 2018, 09:20:43 AM »

I looked at the Costco label last night. It's actually the Nature's Domain.
I alternate between beef and sweet potato and the salmon ones.
My yellow lab is almost 13 years old, no hip dysphasia skin or eye problems, no seizures. actually he's in excellent shape except for some arthritis and some mild congestive heart but he never walks- only runs everywhere he goes. He can no longer jump into the back of my 4x4 super duty without touching the tailgate. He used to land in the middle of the bed from a standing jump. Now he waits for me to boost him.

When we picked up Dexter from the animal rescue shelter two years ago, we asked what they fed the dogs. They buy the Costco brand lamb and rice by the 40 pound bag and go through several bags a week. They told us that a 40 pound bag would be long stale by the time our 16 pound terrier got through it, so they recommended Purina One Smartblend instead. He grew tired of the lamb and rice, and that is when we switched to the turkey and venison and then beef and sweet potato instead. Our vet also agreed with either the Costco or Purina One brands.

Earthborn primitive natural. I was cycling him between a couple of different Orijen formulas until they opened a US factory and changed their formulas. He reacted badly to each of the new ones I tried. It gets a little frustrating throwing away 90% of a bag of dog food because your dog's apparently allergic to it.
