What do you feed your dog?

Blue Buffalo. I buy a big bag once a month at Petsmart. No big deal.

My dog does get small samples of people food -- usually a piece of cheese if I am eating cheese and a small taste of whatever is left over from supper.

She steals candy, if it's left around.

Wellness Core. I order it from Wag.com.

3x a year? My dog, a 30lbs terrier, eats a can of Merrick's Premium a day. It's @$1.60 a can at Amazon. That's 365 cans a year. If I only bought it three times a year, I'd have to store 120 cans at a time somewhere in my house. I don't have that kind of storage space in my AU Park kitchen. So yeah, constantly buying designer food is a hassle.

That said, my british lass loves the Pappy's Pot Roast Dinner, the Chicken Pot Pie Special Stew and the Texas Tips Steak Dinner. These are foods by Merrick's and they absolutely smell like people food. Seriously, I've never tasted it, but they really smell delicious.

Blue Buffalo is like instant diarrhea for my dog. It's too rich.

Fried eggs and homemade bread crusts are our dog's faves. Dogs, in my experience, digest foods that are local to where they are originally bred from, or as near to it as possible. Water dogs love fish, hunting dogs eating game and so on, YMMV.

Ok, yes, that would be a huge hassle! I buy an 11 or 20 lb bag of dry food and she gets at most a cup a day. 1/2 cup in the am and another in the pm if she scratches at her dish.

I can't feed my dog canned food because she got bloated when I tried that before. I will look into that brand for dry food though.

My dog LOVES sunny side up eggs! She goes nuts the minute I crack an egg every time. I think she can smell it or something. But that is very interesting about their taste being regional.

Blue Buffalo did not agree with my dog's digestive system - he also had frequent ear infections and was licking his paws, and it turned out he was allergic to chicken.

We feed him Taste of the Wild now (I get it at MOM's) mixed with some cooked ground turkey that I make as a big batch on the weekend, and for treats I use the Trader Joe's beef jerky which is made in the US.

People food might include bites of fruit, cherry tomatoes, baby carrots, bread crusts, or meat that isn't spicy.

Home cooked. If I had to do kibble again, I'd do Acana.

How much does she weigh? What breed generally (if she's mixed)? Does she eat really fast? That might be why she got bloated. They have special bowls to slow gobblers down…

Now Fresh for kibble (Canadian). For treats, buddy biscuits, Thinkers, Blue Buffalo sticks and bones, Bully slices -- all U.S. made.

We feed our dog Acana Grasslands. It is produced in Canada and is grain-free. We used to feed her California Natural, because she had a lot (a LOT) of digestive issues when we adopted her, and we wanted a minimal-ingredient food. But then Purina bought California Natural, so we looked for another option.

Treats? We give her Plato brand salmon treats. She LOVES them.

Do you give your dog "people food"? We add leftover grilled chicken or hamburger to her food sometimes, as well as white rice. Occasionally she gets a few roasted potato pieces, green beans, or carrots. She loves raw carrots and comes running when she hears me peeling one.

We rescued her 5 years ago - at that time she weighed 12 lbs. She has weighed 22 lbs since about 4 years ago, and according to the vet is just the right weight.

My hound is a fiend for Hall's Menthol Eucalyptus cough drops. She's like a cough drop addict; it's pitiful.
