I use Wellness Simple Solutions Venison Formula. My dobie had a lot of allergies and this food has only one protein source and one carb source (brown rice) along with vitamins and minerals. It's the only food I've food that doesn't make her hair fall out, and it's really high quality so she doesn't have to eat much of it, so less poop coming out.

I use Awkwrights complete kibble. I feed ad-lib. It is cheap, convenient, the dogs thrive on it and it has only got 18% protein which is very important when you have older dogs as I do.

Nutro Ultra. I like having more than one protein, it has both Omega 6 and Omega 3 fatty acids and antioxidants. It also has chelated minerals, which I like. That assists with absorption into the system.

I have always used Purina One it was what my first dog ate and liked so that's what I ahve stuck with, sometimes I have to use Purina Pro Plan becuase they are out of the Purina One. I tried switching it to a natural dog food I think it was Ultra, but even after a week of weaning them on to it, my older dog had the runs so bad, and I was tired of cleaning the kennel out, so she went back on Purina One and it cleared up that day, I think she is just be one it so long that trying to change it was a mistake. #2 also likes Purina and #3 is on the large breed puppy Purina one.

I have a two year old Golden Retriever and I use Purina Alpo. The vet told me to start her out on one brand of food and stick with it. I use both the dry food and canned food. I like the canned food becuase Purina comes out with almost 10 different "tastes" and I can switch her from, say beef to gourmet dinner, so she has a variety.

we use Sensible Choice Natural Blend by Royal Canin. Its all natural and she likes it. my dog is pretty picky so to find something she'll eat all the time is challenging!
