I work with dogs and can often tell who is eating low grade food. I feed both of my Goldens Blue and they are very healthy, no bad breath, coats are shiny, and the stool is small and firm and doesn’t smell.

We have an extremely picky puppy. We finally ended up going with TOTW puppy formula, and he is thriving on it. I would highly recommend TOTW. We pay $10 for a 5 lbs bag. You just can’t beat the cost vs quality. We tried Wellness, Earthborn Holistic, Eagle Pack, etc…

Hi
May I recommend a pet food company that really changed my life (& my sweet pooch Otis’ life too).
http://www.freshfetchpetfoods.com (not to be confused with freshpet)
Jay & Mike are amazing and here is my story.
My Jack Russell Otis was having seizures about 4 years ago. They were becoming more frequent and the Vets recommended meds as they seizures were getting so frequent. I was distraught when my neighbor read an article in the newspaper about this new company ‘ Fresh Fetch Pet Foods’. I spoke with Jay who made no promises with their fresh, real food. He did however say he felt nutrition played a huge factor in wellness and health issues. I started Otis on their real fresh cooked food and we have been seizure free for about 4 years. We had only 2 minor tremors that were very slight and when I told Jay, he re-worked Otis’s food mix and essential oils and all was great again. They are changing the way we feed our pets. That goes for us too.
Processed food holds no nutritional value for dogs or people. You can live on it but for how long and at what point will your organs be compromised. I know more friends with pets who have died from cancer, diabetes and more.
Food is the key.
Please check these guys out.
They saved my Otis and I sleep now!

I have an Akita who was raised on Eukanuba. She is now ready for adult food and I’ve just bought a bag of Blue Buffalo, Life Protection Formula. I had looked at the Merrick brand, but had never heard of it. Is there any feedback on the Blue Buffalo brand I purchased, negative or positive?

Origen was hard to transition to when my dog was a puppy. Despite some loose stool in transition the food has proven to be amazing. Prior to using this food my border collie had skin rash, loose fur with some balding, poor energy and bad breath. It was the food. Now her coat is like velvet, her eyes are clear, energy is good. It is on this list and number one for a reason. Not cheap at $40 for 15 pounds or 2.65 a pound but worth the cost. Table scraps as one reader mentioned may work for some dogs but mine developed stomach problems, vomits up the rich table food. We no longer give it even on special occasions. I am no expert but I do know what works for my dog – Origen.

I have been looking at some of these brands. Not all of them have food for small breeds. Are the regular adult small enough for a miniature daushund (spell?) and a yorkie mix to eat?

Wellness Core Original dry kibble has changed formula and though they claim no difference my two Chows don’t like it anymore and one of them eats everything. I noticed a difference in smell too. It used to smell so good I’d say I’d eat it myself. Now it stinks like the cheap brands.

I know that you get what you pay for….but why does the price climb dramatically as you climb the list?

The best food a dog could get is not bought in a bag at the store. It is table scraps. Most dog food has corn and other ingredients witch most likely will cause allergies in your dog’s life. I had a toy poodle who lived 23 years by eating table scraps. I also had a toy poodle before that who ate dog food and lived 11 years. Take this advice and give your dog a delicious, nutrient-filled and not costly, dog dinner.
