Ittybitty_ Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 What a great topic guys :rolleyes: Ok, We use a combination, due to different needs of different dogs. The Pomeranians all get Eukanuba 'Small Breed'. The German Shepherds, One of the show dogs gets fed on Pro Plan, as it keeps him firm and dryer than any other dry food. The other show dogs are fed on Pedigree Performance, which I swear by. The house dogs (all the old retired kids), and some of the kennel dogs are fed on Coprice Working Dog Formula chicken & Rice. We tried Supercoat, but all their coats went dull & they got really dry skin. Our kids dont get a lot of dry food. As their diet is 99% Barf. When they do, it is soaked, therefore it has already swollen before it hits their stomach. Here is our diet, for both ther Poms and the Shepherds. Bones for Breakfast every morning. Dinner- Monday: soaked dry food, Fresh Chicken Mince (no preservatives) & raw beef liver. Tuesday: Bones Wednesday: Soaked Dry food, Fresh Red meat (No preservatives), Sardines in oil. Thursday: Bones Friday: Soaked Dry food, Fresh Chicken Mince & Red meat mixed together (No preservatives). Saturday: One whole chicken carcass each, the Poms get a chicken wing each. Sunday: Bones This diet, combined with daily excercise works great for us There is nothing better than happy healthy dogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arawnhaus Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 (edited) Yep dobermandave, it is absolutely fine as long as you give them less than what you would of a normal adult based food, lots of people also feed puppy formulas to bitches in whelp and after... your friend is right :rolleyes: for example if i feed an adult 7 cups of normal then i should feed the adult 4 or 5 cups of puppy food.

greentea Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 The only dry food Henry likes is Eukanuba puppy. We have tried all the rest. I am going to try Eaglepack though because I prefer the sound of that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larry Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 (edited) We feed our dogs natural balance lite energy, we used to feed them regular but one is a bit overweight so we put them all on lite energy :-) it's a 100% natural lamb and rice formula, so it's easily digestible and it's made here in WA (and the oil blend is really good for their coats) I prefer to get a food that is made fresh here in australia http://www.naturalbalance.net.au we used to cook our own food for our dogs in the start but their poos used to be very wet and smelly, where with the nat bal even if they poo inside the poo doesn't smell or stick to the carpet which does happen at times when it's cold outside in the winter and they don't want to go outside :-) if you are in the east coast you can get it from here http://www.pricelesspets.com.au/natural_balance.php3 for $69 (+$5.50 freight) for a 15kg bag larry Edited July 29, 2005 by larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitz and Amie Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 Fitz and Chade (our cat) are both on eukanuba. It is harder to find euk cat food, but he looks so good on it Fitz also does really well on euk, and his health is improving dramatically since he has been on it. We also feed Fitz Natures Gift individual servings packets, and the cat gets a tin of Dine everyday (he really prefers the dogs food though, so I am hoping that Natures gift release a tinned cat food soon ).

doggleworth Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 our dogs eat supercoat. The little one gets the small dog variety, our younger bc gets the regular supercoat (chicken i think), and our older bc gets the lite & mature mix. I tried them on eukanuba, royal canin, and iams but supercoat is the only brand they would all eat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
