I feed Raw now, but when I fed kibble, it was Wellness Whitefish and Sweetpotato, and she did amazingly on it. Before that, she was on nutro lamb and rice and she didn't do so well on it.

Dodger is on raw now as well... When he was on kibble he was fed everything from Pedigree, Royal Canin, Eukanuba, Solid Gold, Go! Natural and Wellness. He was on Go! Natural for the longest amount of time!

Don't worry, because I found Dodger so unexpectedly he was on Pedigree puppy for a while! Also, I found that the Costco brand was really stinky and created lots of poops (and gas)... This is also the only food that Dodger left in his bowl the first time it was offered (VERY unusual for him as he eats everything) ...Some people say "if its not broke, don't fix it" - there are definately some dogs that do well on such brands for their entire life - it can't be explained but it happens!

Ummm....well I have fed all mine Ol'Roy High Performance mixed with Ol'Roy canned food since forever. All do real well on it. Living here in nowhere's ville I know this brand will always be available..unlike my cats food (Whiskas) which can come and go off the shelves! I have had my kid bring cat food from Kansas because this WalMart here cannot make up their minds!!

Holistic Blend. I wouldn't use anything else.
http://www.holisticblend.com

They use top quality organic ingrediants with no crud like BHA, corn, beet pulp, etc.

We did a switch from Canidae to Kirkland Lake (Costco) I know alot of people will think thats wrong to feed them but when I was going through a 40 lb bag at $$ every other week it got to be a bit much they are doing just fine on the new food, like it, small and tiny poops, and with the cost being kept down makes the hubby VERY happy

Harley was on ProNature Chicken and did well, but when he got sick in January, and lost a lot of weight and fur, we started him on Eukanuba Fish and Potatoe. He loves it and is doing great on it.

No reason to change.

My Eskimo eats Fromms Salmon A La Veg - does very well on it. Eskies do well on fish based foods.

Wellness Whitefish and Sweetpotato. It's great for Candi's allergies. No more scratchy skin and hacking.

My dane pup is on Solid Gold Wolf King, my young adult dane and all my other puppers are on Canidae all life stages. You have to be very careful with danes and protein content in foods, and both these brands are perfect for them.

Buster eats either Wellness or Nutram Lamb and rice. He also gets a can of tuna, salmon, turkey or chicken everyday.
