I had a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever whom I fed Eukanuba all its life, based on the recommendation of his breeder. He died at 9 yrs. of age due to osteosarcoma. The life expectancy of a Duck Toller is 12-14 yrs. I don’t know if his diet had anything to do with his early demise; he had no other health issues. But I was disappointed to see various unbiased reviews, not only from this site, which indicate that Eukanuba is an average dog food at best, while it is marketed as a high quality food. I now have another Duck Toller and am feeding him Fromm’s.

Keep in mind that Vets, who have many more than “4 years education”, recommend foods that they in turn profit from. Some, not all, would recommend any food to make a buck. And these low – mid quality foods are the ones they push.

I have fed my 17 month old puggle Eukanuba lamb and rice all of his life. He has been very hyper and has a hard time settling down.
One day last week it dawned on me that he acts like my kids did when they had too much sugar.
I researched and found that the food was loaded with corn and grains which turn to sugar. I changed him to Blue Wilderness salmon and brown rice and in 4 days I see the difference in him. He sits still. He is happy to see me when I come home but doesn’t jump on my and go crazy. And his poop is still normal and easy to pick up. I’m angry that I didn’t research this long ago and paid so much for the Eukanuba dog food.

I found one, that if it works out correctly, will alow me to feed less to my really active, small stumached dog. Trying to feed him is crazy. He may run like a horse, but he is a very lean dog and cannot consume enough dog food to keep weight with his crazy running. First I had him on pedigree, in which he was eating enough for a 120 pound dog and he only weighed 50 pounds… Then Eukanuba Premium Performance, and he eats the amount for a 70 pound Highly Active dog, but only weighs 60. That is four cups a day, and he can barely finish it. He often leaves alot behind that my other dog is growing fat off of because she is the exact opposite: Big stomach with less activity. So my dad and I finally decided on Blue Buffalo, which if it takes less to keep him fit will make the cost change very minimal from what he is eating now. But I’ve been reading on some ver bad cases with Blue, and have become a little afraid to use it. We started him on it yesterday (being gradual, of course) and he seems just fine. I hear alot about gas and diariha, but since he is an outside dog and only uses the bathroom in our acre of woods, it is difficult to determine how he is stomaching the food…

But thanks Michelle! We are also trying to change my smaller dog’s food too, so it’ll be nice to find good food that won’t be as expensive as my other dogs’. His has always been more expensive because he is so active, but we have been able to keep hers relatively cheap so far. But after reading up on pedigree from different sites, we felt she needed a switch.

Nikki, here’s my list of budget friendly foods. Costco’s has Kirkland signature 40lbs for $25.00.Tractor Supply has 4health 35lbs for $29.99.Canned 4health is .99 cents.Whole Earth Farms (Merrick) is 35lbs for $35.00.Taste of the Wild is grain free 3olbs for $40.00 can be found at independent pet stores/feed stores and also Tractor supply.Diamond Naturals 40lbs for $29.99 can be found at the sames stores as Taste of the Wild.I have personally used all of these foods and rotate them in my dogs diet.They do very well on all foods listed.I have 2 large dogs and also look for foods with good ingredients that won’t break the bank.Also I have heard good things about Victor’s dog food and would love to try it,but it is not available in my area.You could check their store locator and see if it is available in your area,if so this looks like a very good food with a decent price tag also.

Goodness, I have no idea what to feed my dogs. I already pay like 50 for my active dog’s food, but it is Eukanuba and is appearantly really bad for him. Better dog foods do cost less, but the cost a little less for a LOT less food. What do I do? What is a brand of dog food that is better but isn’t going to have me bankrupt?

I feed my pom puppy Eukanuba and he loves it. He’s very picky and won’t eat wet food. I’ve started adding chicken to his kibble and he pushes it aside to eat the kible first. I think Eukanuba is great. His stool is always solid and he is very regular. I would recommend it to anyone.

for years i was told that eukanuba was one of the best dog foods around recommended by all types of vets now i here ppl on here basically calling it trash. my question is why should we believe you over a 4 year education n these fields?
