dog food

my dog was doing just fine eating hills sensitive stomach for several months/ a year. I have the prescription w/d on hand just if she has occasional loose stool, and it fixes her up so quick, and then i transition her back to her non prescription food. however- now as i’ve been transitioning...

My dog has IBD and we feed him Hills Science z/d. The problem is he’ll eat up the gravy that I kind of make with the pâté but leave the dry food. I can’t really afford to get both. Does anyone have a suggestion to make the dry food more enticing? Is there a plant based gravy that I could...

My Pomeranian has been suffering hair loss after a very bad grooming experience. I have been massaging her coat with coconut hair oil and it didn’t help unfortunately. I’m hoping a diet change would help. She’s been eating Orijen kibbles. I don’t mind preparing and cooking food for my dog at...

Hi! I currently feed my 2yr old pit/shep (48lbs) the Acana Limited Ingredient Lamb & Apple, and I’m just thinking about switching to something else. not for any particular reason, I know there’s a bunch of drama about mars buying them, I don’t know much about that but my concern is that if...

My dog is currently on the Hill's Science Diet h/d formula for heart disease, which is very low sodium. I noticed Royal Canin makes an early cardiac formula for heart disease, but it has "moderate" sodium levels. After some googling it does appear that Royal Canin makes a regular cardiac formula...

Hey, does anyone ever heard about this brand, made by a brazilian company (Total Alimentos)? I'm feeding my 14yr old poodle with this one right now, and she's loving it. Despite of other grain free dog foods, aparently they use a better source of fiber and carbo, and at the sime time not going...

Hi I have a pup that is 9 months old and he’s been having soft stools/diarrhoea ever since we got him at 4.5 months. He’s been to the vet countless times, was prescribed a hydrolysed protein diet and yet his stools remain terribly soft with a mucus coating. I’ve tried Royal canin, ppp, hill’s...

I am so annoyed at trying to figure this out. I've even asked people at all major pet supply stores... Which kibble is the smallest? They don't know! My vet only recommends what she sells @ $$$$, of course. TINY KIBBLE. I've been feeding my mini Shih-Tzu Bil-Jac because it isn't as hard as...

Hi! I have 2 chihuahua mixes - one 10 pounds, one 8.5 pounds. One of whom is allergic to chicken. I’m looking for the best small breed kibble for them. Right now they’re enjoying Honest Kitchen beef kibble(which they enjoy but aren’t enthused about). I have spent hours researching brands and I...

Hi everyone, Our toy poodle had an acute pancreatitis 6 months and she fully recovered. However we are still on Royal Canin’s low fat (7.5% fat) kibbles. Now, we’re suspecting she has an allergy to chicken protein and she licks her front paws constantly. We tried a couple of alternatives but...

We have a 3 year old Pomsky. She’s always been a picky eater. She wouldn’t want to eat the same dry food again after a few times. She would gobble it down when the bag is new but wont even touch it from day 3. It has gotten to a point where she’d rather starve herself but eat the dry food. So...

So between the 3 of my dogs we have an array of allergies. For about 2 years Zignature was our go to and then my Chi started having gland issues again. So then we were only using the fish flavors of Zignature. Still an issue, so we switched just her to Earthborn Holistic Venture Alaskan Pollock...

I have been putting a meal topper on my girl’s food (70ish lbs dutch shep mix). I was giving her 0.25 cup of Stella and Chewy per feed, but she doesn’t really need it. I was adding it for extra bulk. She is a bit on the chonky side so she doesn’t need the extra calories. She is by no means huge...

My dog (Dutch shepherd mix female 9y/o) has formed gallbladder sludge along with chicken allergies. We have her hill science low fat I/D however we just realized she had a chicken allergy. The food is not working for her. Has anyone else found a good hypoallergenic food that is also low fat...

Hi all, I have a Pomeranian/Shiz Tzu mix who eats Hills Science diet Senior Vitality and recently he’s been having some small issues. His fur has gotten a lot greasier between washes and a lot sharper/dull. He’s also been a bit less energetic. I know Hills Science is one of the higher tier...

Hello! My large/giant breed puppy (87.2lbs at 9mo [Dobie/Lab/Mastiff]) has been eating Kirkland Salmon and Sweet Potato dog food since he’s been about 4mo old. We purchase this due to budget with the amount he eats. Recently he just decided he will eat when he wants.. I assume boredom with his...

i’ve been down the dog food rabbit hole so many times, i’m sick of myself talking about it. obviously i’ve combed this forum and understand that hills, royal canin and purina have research for years (though i am skeptical because who pays for this research? feels a bit fishy). however, this...

Getting another dog. My Irish wolfhound switched from Victor to candiae large breed and is doing perfect on it. Her food cost ~$70 but she eats only 4 cups a day and is lasting longer than Victor and ate more cups on victor. My new dog will be a Rottweiler that is 2 weighing about 100+. I would...

I’ve had mixed answers from people IRL as well as the clinic. Those of you w/ dogs allergic to chicken—have you tried food with hydrolized chicken and have positive outcomes?

hey everyone — I fed my 80lb 1.5 year old lab, Rusty, grain free chicken dry food mixed with chicken dehydrated (add water) raw food. i noticed if i ever fed him just the dry food without the wet, he’d get very loose poop almost 100% of the time. this lead me on my journey to attempt fixing...
