What do you feed your dog?

LOL. Tell yourself that if it helps you sleep at night, but my 2 dogs both are Beneful or Iams every day for 10+ years (after we finally gave up on driving to the pet store every time we needed to buy more food, since we have a small house and no room to store months of food for 2 80-lb dogs). Both were strong, energetic, had beautiful coats, and had literally zero health problems. They were never at the vet except for their yearly visit until they were over 13, and even then it wasn't much. Vet even said they had unusually clean teeth. Both outlived the normal life span range for dogs of their size. (They were mixed-breed, which may also play a part in their excellent health profiles. They did both get sick and die eventually but even the most expensive dog food can't change that. I will never be suckered into buying pricey dog food again!

I don't know if the mere fact of an animal being still alive is an endorsement for a food--but I'm glad when anyone's pet is healthy.

We switched her dog to Pro Plan. Not as high calorie but still a well rated food.

Yes, this! My daughter's chi mix is living with us right now, and the Blue Buffalo is so high calorie. I switched to Pro Plan because the ratings were so good and it is half the calories. We mix a teaspoon of pedigree wet food (we have big dogs) with a quarter cup of Pro Plan, and add chopped green beans. The dog used to eat grass like crazy when it first came to live with us, but since we started including green beans in his diet (our big dogs get them with every meal - the canned french cut ones), no more frantic grass eating.

Flint River Ranch -- we order from the company and get it delivered via ups every month. So nice not having to lug 80 lbs of dog food to the car from a store.

Merrick canned...many varieties. I would even eat it...it looks so good.

I am interested in this thread because I am considering switching dog foods for my 90 pound dog.
He is healthy, no issues at all ... except, he just plain stinks. If we bathe him, he smells bad less than 24 hours later.
A friend told us it could be his food.
We feed him Iams Healthy Weight because that is what the previous owners fed him (we kind of “rescued” him).
Can the food be making him stink?

We adopted an adult lab in November and she had a very strong dog smell. We were feeding her Blue Wilderness. We switched to Orijen fish and she is much less smelly, and no more stinky farts.

Blue Basics (Adult Grain-Free Lamb & Potato)

Our senior beagle is doing very well on this product, plus we give her green beans with it to help with weight control.

Blue Buffalo Freedom - no issues. We switch between flavors. Its easy to find at Petsmart or Petco or online (Amazon Prime often has it).

No people food - she had a really bad begging/jumping/counter surfing habit when we first got her so we cut people food out cold turkey. I give her dental treats and training treats and the occasional extra treat. I freeze some of her food sealed with peanut butter or cream cheese and give that before I go to work.
