[tylerjones553]

I have hear different opinions on which brand and formula of food is best for very active working dogs... Will y'all give me some feedback on your food choices and any evidence that makes it the best... Price should not be a factor.
Thanks,

We've been feeding NutroMax Lamb and Rice for several years. Good nutrion, small stools. Not working dogs, but very active.

Do you think dogs are omnivores, and feed them alot of carbohydrates?: You need know what you're buying. Check out this info: Are Dogs Carnivores... or Omnivores?

Raw meat, left over vegetables (like wilted lettuce), canned mackerel, egg, oils, vitamin supplements.

Raw buffalo liver......the same thing I feed my kids.

Our dog has allergies in his old age, so we make our own,

Basically rice, turkey burger, peas, and carrots, throw some yogurt on top. Hasn't cured the allergies but it is actually more affordable and we can control the consistency.

Compare the ingredients from bag to bag over the course of a year and you will find 80% of companies are always adjusting there ingredients.

Castor and pollux organix. it's been great for my dog, her coat is shiny and soft. Plus, it's made here in Oregon, so I'm supporting the local economy.

Well that disqualifies my dog. He likes deer bubblegum and whatever other disgusting rotting crap he can find around the yard. I give him Bi-Mart brand 'cause it obviously doesn't make a difference to him.

I suspect as a first post from someone in Denver that this might be more of an attempt to up the search engine rankings of your website. Just a guess though.

I have two border collies and I feed mine Nutro Nuggets Brown Rice and Venison - I also feed them chicken strips every morning with glucosomine due to my older dog being 11+ years old.. I have looked hard and long at this question - and without going to an all natural diet I feel that this product based on two reasons is the best for my dogs. 1) I look at the teeth, eyes, coats and behavior of the dog, as well as the droppings in the yard. Based on these facts I feel that the food is working very well for them. 2) I also look at the ingredients in the dog food, if the first ingredient is anything but meat based I will automatically pass on it. In the case of this food the first item must be based on meat. I think the third is brown rice. I am at work or I would give you the ingredient listing. This dog food is around 50$ for a 30lb bag so it is not cheap - my kids get the best that I can provide. We spend well over 150$ a month on these two not counting vet and grooming bills. If there is such thing as reincarnation - then in my next life time they owe me.

I tried a few brands, researched a bunch more, and finally landed on Natures Recipe.
My dog loves it. She's been eating it for almost 2 years now and she's been a shining beacon of health according to the vet.

Spammers. She likes 'em raw. Keeps her coat shiny.

Kirkland or Blue Buffalo or Natural Balance. We always add fish oil, and one other "special" ingredient (beans or carrots or chicken or beef usually). "Reuben night" is always a hit (add sauerkraut . Vet checkups have always been "excellent health."

Cooked chicken, pork, beef stew chunks, eggs, carrots, chicken bones, brussel sprouts, rice, and Kirkland and Blue Buffalo and vitamins for my 10 month old Standard Schnauzer. My near 15 year Standard was feed the same except for the Blue Buffalo. Olive oil is used for cooking all of the meats above. He recently went to the big dog bone in the sky.

I raise bluetick hound bear and coon dogs. The most protein and fat per dollar, with meat as the first ingredient is Diamond Naturals. We feed their Beef & Rice in the off season and their Extreme Athlete during hunting season and cold weather. These hounds can run 40 miles in a day during hunting season, and we treat them like high dollar professional athletes.
