What does your dogs eat?

So every1 on hear what do you feed your dogs at archie ago 1yr?
What makes.

have a look in the health and nutrition section and you will get a good idea

yea as bigwazza says there is a list of good foods in the health section.....personally i feed james wellbeloved

I shop at tesco at the mo and need to get some food 2day
And there anit nothing I can see it the list

give him a treat and get him some fresh and if not the best you are probbely get in a super market is hills science plan as i know all my local supermarkets are stocking it(NEVER TRYED IT BUT HEARD IT NOT TO BAD)

K thanks I some think give him some for we have for dinner like spagetti bolo
Sweet and sour had made I make my self

I get all my food over the net

Dry food in tesco
Tesco premium, bakers, Pedigree,Brunos, Harrington's, wagg

Canned food in tesco
Butchers, tesco premium,pedigree,chappie,Bruno surper chunks

Oh k Kwl. Where from?

I use chemistdirect or petmeds as sometimes the prices do vary, personally Moo is on Royal Canin, it is more expensive than supermarket brands but well worth it. She's on wet and dry mix. The delivery is quick usually only takes 3 days and is cheaper than getting it from the vets.

I wouldnt reccommend any of those foods but if i had to say one i would say harringtons after looking at the ingreadients

I feed raw. Raw lamb bones & raw tripe. That's it, really.

like i say my tesco does hills but i would agree with blaze with the harringtons looking the best

Cairo has a lot of home cooked food.Chicken and rice,lamb and vegetables.My hubby says i feed cairo better then him lol

Lol well we went to tesco and buyed Brunos dryfood

i feed Katie dry food (royal canin)and biscuits around midday everyday, then at 6pm i give her a lb of raw fresh meat. mainly offal from my local butcher which is quite cheap and to top it off, i pour a spoon of cod liver oil over it (very good for her coat) it goes down a treat,

You have one lucky dog Shane!

oh i know shes spoiled rotten, that royal canin is costing me a fortune every month, 58 euro a pop for a 15kg bag

Yes Moo is on Royal canin too, so I know the feeling!!

i know Janey ive been giving it to her since she was a puppy, when she was registered with the kennel club they sent me out vouchers for royal canin, so i i tried it out, just a way for the kennel club to rope you into buying it for the dog. they probably have shares in the company

Guessing my vets do too! Where do you get yours from? Mines over the net and way cheaper??

i get it from a company here called molloys.ie/royal canin

they deliver free on orders over 30 euro,

Have no idea about euros/pound but will check it out. I get 24- 420g chicken/rice cans and 4kg dry mix for about £50. Its the sensitivity diet. Does that seem to work out the same? It feeds her for just under a month??

£50 would workout at about 64 euro

ah but their worth every penny i must say

Yes she is! Glad to know we all fork out a small fortune lol!

i know, ive tried her with other dry foods she wasn't having any of it just turned her nose up at it, the only other food she will eat is pedigree chum tinned food, they can be stubborn little yokes
:

Too true! Is your babe on dry all the time?

but the funny thing about it is she would eat any left overs from our meals,

yeah i give her dry food mix, but sometimes i put a bit of boiling water in it to moisten it up, the likes of water if we had boiled bacon, or sometimes the water off the spuds

i also give her raw offal from my butchers, i get a big bag from him once a week for a fiver

spuds, i think yee call them potatoes over your way

Wow, I feed raw & only spend about £25 a month!!!

Caryll your doing well with Dempsey, he a fine looking dog for £25 a month i think we have our dogs spoiled and probably overweight too

Well, I'm lucky in a way - I get lamb ribs & neck from the local Morrisson's butcher. He puts some aside for me each week and leaves more meat than usual on them & I freeze them, ready for daily defrosting. So he gets a meaty bone every day (either morning or lunchtime) and tripe/offal/raw eggs for his evening meal.

The £25 doesn't include things like treats, though - they're extra!!

nice

Its very expensive but when I first got her she used to have diarea all over the house and it was the only diet that sorted it out, cleaning up poo at 4am is not my idea of fun! Would love to put her on a cheaper diet so any reccomendations are very welcome! Only problem is I don't have a good butchers here, not even a meat counter so the raw food diet is out! Which is a shame cause I would love to put he on it.

I've not tried it myself, but James Wellbeloved is supposed to be really good - it's hypo-allergenic so it shouldn't muck the stomach up. I think they do a fish-based one which a couple of people I know swear by. But you couls also try http://www.fish4dogs.com/Categories/Dog-Shop/dog-food.aspx. Because it's fish based it doesn't have some of the allergic reactions associated with chicken, beef, pork etc.

Thanks Caryll will have a look

Well I would but it won't let me into the page

try this one instead:

janey memphis has always been on royle canine tryed mixing him on the jwb lasted a couple of days then he would only eat the royle canine so now just stick with that now but must admite i do add just a little bit of weebox for the taste only use one pack every week

Thats an idea cheers Bigwazza

James wellbeloved has changed its ingreadients without warning! It now contains oats where i am sure it never did before which makes it not quite as good as some others!

We have tried so meny dryfoods (James, Profine, Golden Eagle, Nutro Nuggets, ANF, Franks breederline) and my dog allways has turned my house to gas chamber

Allmost every food was hypo- allergic and some of foods was "gently for stomach" - type. Still I smelled the doggygas

Now we dont have eny stomach problems because I make food for my dog by myself Somebody could call it half- barf or somethin like that but i call it FOOD

The FOOD contains

- Boiled Vegetables (potatoe, carrot, broccoli, garlic, sellery, zuccini, persil, little bit apple)
- Meaty Fat
- Visceral (pig´s or cow´s heart, liver or kidney)
- Basic Nutrolin oil
- Raw meat (pig and beef mix, salmon, mutton or horse meat)

The Vet said that dog is good shape, coat is shining, eyes are bright and there is no eny problems. I don´t smell "gas" enymore in the house so I think we stay for this food

Dry food was so much easier and faster way than this new FOOD, but what we won´t do for the dog?

Thanks

Cujo eats raw tripe from the butchers with some crunchy biscuits. Lucky i live above a butchers who has alsorts for sale for dogs.

By all means include veg if you want, but it isn't needed. If you feed it raw & whole they can't digest it. If you boil it you get rid of most of the goodness. The only way dogs can digest veg is if it's pulped & that's fiddly & messy! A dog's digestion isn't like ours. They don't need carbohydrates etc if they are fed raw meat & raw bones. They don't even need biscuits.

We choose to give Dempsey raw carrots & a small amount of biscuits even though they won't do him any good (they don't do any harm, either) because he likes them!

vegetables, grains, meats and dairy products are all vital components of your dogs diet, these are all found in commercial dog foods and are nutritionally balanced and easily digestible,
