    Options not owned by the big 3?

    For 10-13 years I fed my dogs Taste of the Wild and switched to Solid Gold once they were aging and needed to lower their fat intake. They’ve since passed and I adopted a new guy this week so I decided to shop around. I keep ending up on threads here and in r/dogs recommending only Purina...

    I have a picky eater who also has a relatively sensitive stomach, and is also quite young (1 year old spaniel mix). She was on Orijen for nearly a full year and then stopped eating her kibble. She early finished her recommended serving, and then a month or so ago had some persistent diarrhea...

    Food & probiotic recommendations for allergies with skin & GI symptoms

    My 3yo terrier mix has been through hell the past couple of weeks. He’s always had skin flareups, despite Cytopoint, Apoquel, weekly Chlorhexidine baths, and Duoxo pads between baths. I always thought it was environmental because he gets pink (he’s a mostly white dog) when we go outside in warm...

    Anyone else’s dog refuse to eat N&D brand of foods?

    I’m thinking it’s a palatably problem as my dog has refused every flavor of food from that brand. He would eat it well for a week or 2 and then refuses to eat. Even with his favorite topper. Not the same experience with other brands we have tried, and have since gone back to Nutrisource. This...

    Northwest Naturals Nuggets kcal/oz and kcal/kg not adding up…or am I an idiot?

    I’m looking at the Northwest Naturals Freeze Dried Lamb Recipe Nuggets. 12oz bag which is 340.19g. Bag says 5,220kcal/kg and 177kcal/oz. So if the bag is 12oz that should mean the bag has 2,124kcal. But if you go by grams, it would be 1,775kcal per bag. My first thought was maybe it means oz...

    Hello, I am currently on the hunt to find a food that my "old man" will eat. He used to be a dog that wanted to eat anything and everything.

    Do you purchase your dog’s food from Chewy or your local Petco/Petsmart?

    I used to solely use Chewy for our Purina Pro Plan purchases. I know that food can be stored improperly anywhere - but I wondered if either of these have a better track record than the other. I’m curious, where do you purchase your dog’s food? Edit: Thank you everyone for the insight! This is...

    Puppy on adult food

    My border collie puppy is 6 months and the vet put her on Hills Food Sensitivities Z/D due to some issues with itchy skin and shedding. We have narrowed it down to chicken protein and potatoes, with potatoes being more likely. The food is not specialized for puppies so I asked the vet tech if...

I’ve been recommended Open Farm which is super expensive...
