What are some good brands of dog food? I cant afford to drop a whole lot of money on dog food, but I still want to buy what is best for our new guy. So my question to you is what do you suggest I feed him? I am looking for something that does not contain by products, yummy tasting, good for a poodle, and if I really wanted to eat it I could!!!

Well if you asked my one yr old son, he would highly recommend what we feed. lol Its called Health Wise from Natura.

Seriously, my one year old Andrew, loves dog food. Anytime he is in the kitchen and I put him down he immediatly crawls over to the dog crates looking for there bowls. Occasionally I forget the bowl is not put up after meal time and I have to fight Andrew to get the 10 pieces of dog food piled in each cheek. He absolutely loves it...Yuck! I swear if you saw how he acts about it, you'd think I didn't feed him. lol

Anyways, I really do recommend that food. Its 30.00 for a 35 lb bag which I think is really good for a better quality food.

My one yr old always goes for my friends dogs food too!! Gross!! I guess I will have to make sure the bowls go away after meals!!


What do you know about Chicken Soup? Or Innova(SP)

LOL, just saw that the Innova is a NAtura brand!!

Ive heard good things about both..ecspecially Innova. I have a very sensitive Pitbull that loses large patches of hair and get's aweful hot spots if her food has wheat in it. The Natura foods are the only food's that don't effect her skin issues and keep her weight stable. My favorite is the Cal Natural sweet potatoe and herring formula. That one is a little more $$ and the Health Wise is good too and lower priced. Thats why we feed the Health Wise instead.

CurlyDog

I feed only grain free foods. Here are some of them:

Orijen
Evo
Fromm's Surf & Turf

See this site for lots of great information:

Purple Poodle

I would suggest Blue Buffalo, its a great food and affordable. No by products and you can find it in most pet food stores.

The site curlydog suggested is a good guideline and any food that's rated 4* and up are really good foods to feed.

Not all dogs to well on the same food and you may have to change it up until you find what fits your dog.

What was the breeder feeding?

I recently started on chicken soup for the dog lovers soul - whew! mouthful! They love it and its good for them - lots of protein! Did you get a new dog?

Pamela

scratch the question about the new dog - duh! was thinking you were Finn's family. I hope they can get a new dog too.

I'm a solid gold fan but it isn't cheap... 30 buck for a 15lb bag - Ack, I think we may be switching soon. I'm ashamed to say Jazz was on Pedigree when we got her and because i've been indecisive about what to put her, can't affor the solid gold for her, she is on Purinia One. I am thinking about Wellness though, I found it in a petlandand the lable looks good.
