If we only had one dog I would probably still use blue because its one of the best. because I have 2 dogs and one is a lab that would literally eat himself if he could I buy costco's nature grain free line.
Lets see how the food in your poll ranks on http://www.dogfoodadvisor.com OLD ROY gets 1 star: not recommended. Purina one smartblend gets 2 stars: not recommended. Diamond natural gets 4 stars: highly recommended. Eukanuba gets 3 stars: recommended. I won't use anything less than 4 stars. ETA native gets 4.5 stars. + |

Ok everyone I have been thinking about switching my dogs food. We have two dogs both Labs. Our female is 7 and we got a male pup a couple days after x-mas. I work out of state and my wife has been telling me our pup seems to have the runs quite a bit. I am guessing the main cause is his food and eating the older dogs food too. We are currently feeding Purina Dog Chow to the older one and Puppy Chow to the pup. Before anyone gets on my case I have been doing a bunch of reading and realize we have been feeding them junk. I have been thinking I am going to switch to Blue Buffalo and was wondering with buying much better food for them do you think I can feed them both them same food even though the pup is only 4 months old? Or should I still buy him puppy food? I figure if they both eat the same food the wife doesn't have to try and keep them out of each others bowls. I would think even though the pup would be eating adult food that it would still be better for him than the purina puppy chow. Its not like in the wild pups eat anything different.

We're using Authority Grain-Free from Petsmart. It's 4-star rated on dogfoodadvisor.com and I don't need an FHA loan to buy a bag of it. The pups seem to do well on it.

You need to check the Diamond Naturals ingredients (4star) very comparable to Blue but 30 to 40 percent cheaper.

Taste of the wild wetlands. Used to feed blue buffalo wilderness, but taste of the wild saves me a little money and is available locally in my small town, while having similar ingredients and nutritional value.

I am feeding my pup orijen. Started on purina pro plan and had issues, constipation and an unstoppable bladder vet recommended switching foods immediately. Switched to blue buffalo wilderness puppy and she had diarrhea, went to blue buffalo wilderness large breed puppy same issue as pro plan. Switched to orijen and she has stabilized. The vet thought the pro plan issue could be salt related.

My dogs get fed a raw diet made by our local butcher. $.99/# when I buy bulk. Whole raw chickens, all sorts of organ meat and bone meal. It's changed my dogs lives. Not to mention their poop goes away in a matter of weeks.

Our Siberian Husky is a very picky eater. She would not eat any dry dog food except a Victor premium brand. My vet recommended trying a Blue Buffalo dry food but she may eat a few pellets and never touch it again.
She would not eat any cheap canned food either. I tried some very expensive canned food but it's way overpriced for what you get and she is not crazy about it either. Fresh meats sold in regular grocery stores, here in the Carolinas are terrible. To me the meat smells and tastes like it's half spoiled and has been treated with laundry detergent. It's that bad. I don't consider myself a picky eater but I won't eat nasty shit if I can help it. We don't eat the local meat and don't feed it to the dog either. I always buy organic meat from a local Earth Fare store. Our favorite is grass-fed beef from Australia. It smells and tastes great, like meat should. I usually get around 10-15 lbs when it's on sale. We feed the dog with it every other day and mix it with some Victor brand dry food. She likes the fresh meat raw or grilled for about a minute on each side. Money-wise it's cheaper and a lot healthier than grossly overpriced premium canned dog food. We also give the dog some low-fat Greek yogurt every other day. She loves it and it's good for her stomach. She is spoiled but we love her. |

From someone who knows a thing or two I'll give you my opinion.
I feed my puppy Purina Proplan. He's the truth about dog food. There are many types and a variety of manufacturers. Most people buy dog food based off of marketing and price not science. (People assume more expensive is better and a sign you care about your dog; not true). Fact: The best food for your dog is one that is for the appropriate life stage (puppy/adult/senior) and is a complete and balanced diet. If you dog food has a AAFCO statement on the back of the bag it is a complete and balanced dog food and a key indicator of a quality diet as the diets are formulated and certified by a board or certified veterinary nutritionists. (Fun fact Blue has a ton of varieties of food and not a single veterinary nutritionist on staff). There are a ton of quality foods out there at a reasonable price. There are even more that cost more and have piss poor ingredients and are based of zero evidence. If your dog requires a prescription diet for a disease process that diet will be the most appropriate for them; consult with your veterinarian regarding this. Fact: Grain in a dogs diet is not harmful and is very unlikely to cause a food allergy despite what every "premium" manufacturers commercial will tell you. Many people proudly flaunt they feed grain free. Complete and balanced diets of the appropriate life stage are fine to feed though. Protein is the primary source of food allergies in dogs with the number one culprit being a chicken allergy. Brands to stay away from: Blue Buffalo - overpriced shit food that has had MULTIPLE serious recalls. Beneful - It's not as healthy as those beautiful commercials with all the veggies advertise Chinese food- China is a big place. They do produce some quality diets. They also produce products that will kill you dog and there is not quality assurance program in place to sort the food from the bad Rules of thumb Stick with a large manufacturers such as purina, Iams, eukanuba, royal canin, and science diet ect. These companies are very good at what they do and have the resources for R&D and to employ veterinary nutritionists. Sorry Rachael Ray does have a fucking clue what should be in dog food. The uglier the bag the more likely it's a quality food - images of wolves in the mountains fool some but they spend more on marketing than the food; your dog is NOT a wolf Expensive does not mean better Ask your vet what are some good options for your pet Best Buy: Kirkland dog food is a wonderful food and is very cheap. I feed my Proplan because I prefer the the protein ratios and like the company. I am not affiliated with any of these manufacturers |

My adult Lab was on Wellness Core (grain free) for years then Fromm's grain free.
My 10 week old Lab pup is going back and forth between Victor Hi Pro Plus and Fromm's large breed puppy grain free. |
