Dog Food: What brand do you use - YorkieTalk.com Forums

veggienut · 11-13-2013, 04:17 PM

What brand of dog food does everyone use here~? I'm thinking of switching my dog's food....again. Should one switch every so often~? I just think he needs something healthier than Royal Canine, which he's been on for quite a while.

I like Wellness Super 5 mix complete health. I mix a little wet Wellness ckicken with that and my boys really like it. My poodle breeder I had and her husband a vet, Dr. Brad Patterson feed this food to their show dogs. My two Yorkies will wait by their bowls for this food. It is a very good quality dog food.

I give mine Artemis. She was on RC before. She loves the Artemis

Life's Abundance. Always fresh and no recalls. We did like Ziwi peak but due to high cost and less income coming in we went with Life's Abundance instead. Also, we think Ziwi peak was maybe too rich for our little biewer (Shelby).

I feed pre-made raw, usually Primal.

My personal feelings are not to mess with success. If a food works for my pups, I stick with it.

In answer to your question, I use Hill's Science Diet, Ideal Balance except for my pups who are on prescription diets.

sganow · 11-14-2013, 09:31 AM

I use Horizon (Legacy and Amicus), Fromm (Four-Star formulas), and currently trying out Acana (made by Champion, which also makes Orijen).

Britster · 11-14-2013, 12:55 PM

I use Acana Duck & Pear as his staple food and have been keeping a bag of Royal Canin Yorkie 28 around for treats and use in interactive toys, since he loves it a lot. I also use a little bit of wet food, usually Weruva or Cesar, in at least one meal.

I feed pre-made raw from Darwin's.

tokipoki · 11-14-2013, 06:12 PM

Lately I've been feeding Toki the canned TikiDog although we rotate wet foods like Weruva, Hill's Ideal Balance, Lotus, and Natural Balance Stews etc. depending on what I can find a deal on.

For dry food, Teddy just started his second bag of Annamaet and is doing pretty well on it. The pups also have done well on the grain-free Fromm and Wellness Core formulas. We rotate kibble at the end of every bag or two and I switch up the canned food quite a bit...that's just my personal preference and my pups have been doing well so I don't have issues with it. It's fine to just stick with one food though...my parents' beagle generally only gets one type of dry kibble (occasionally they'll switch a bag from like chicken to duck or something from the same brand) and she's done fine eating the same food without switching...she's pretty sensitive so once they find a kibble that works, they stick with it.

I feed my little Lucy both pre made raw by Primal and raw meaty bones (ie chicken necks, turkey necks) as well as beef heart.

Ellie May · 11-14-2013, 08:09 PM

The furs eat rx food (Purina and RC). If they didn't I'd probably homecook or RC or Hill's.
