    Food causing stones

    We changed our dog’s food to this JustFoodForDogs Renal Support Low Protein like 10 months ago as per suggested by the vet. 4 months later, he developed stones that even went to his urethra, he couldn’t pee. He had to have surgery. 3 months later after that surgery, we noticed he was struggling...

    I can’t tell if my dog isn’t getting enough to eat with Ollie food subscription or just begging to beg

    We recently started our German Shepard on Ollie and the formula was set with his weight and size in mind. However, I swear the portions look SO small and he is a big dog. We used to feed him double in size what the portions look like for one meal when we were making his food ourselves (not sure...

    What are you feeding your dog and why?

    Hi all! My Shadow just turned 1 years old and we’ve been feeding him TLC pet food as recommended by our breeder. I don’t believe this is the best food for him anymore and am looking for a better alternative. He’s a red golden retriever and he’s very nice and fit. He gets regular exercise and...

    How to look at dog food critically and avoid the marketing BS

    If you want to know how good a dog food is, look for the following: 1) Read the AAFCO statement. Is the food "formulated", whereby someone copied a recipe or plugged some numbers into a computer and called it a day, or was it actually tested according to AAFCO protocols to prove its claims? 2)...

    Best Budget bulk dog food

    Hey everyone, I'm currently feeding my boys (E 4 year old pit mix) and (N 3 year old Jack Russle Mix) Pedigree food since it seemed the best when I got E, but it seems to be causing them some gas and I'm wondering if there's any good alternatives. I'm hoping for something that I can buy a big...

    Dog food recommendations?

    I have 2 dogs a golden retriever (5.5 years old, 88 lbs) and a Potcake (4 years old, 65 lbs). I’d fed them Blue Buffalo for years, but a trainer we recently worked with informed us that it was really low quality dog food and suggested we switch to a high quality brand. She recommended Open...

    Raw Dog Food Advice

    Looking for advice. I have a five year old mix breed dog about 45 ibs who has been eating raw since she was a puppy. For several months now she has liquid diarrhea. She had a stool sample workup at the vet and they found nothing. She has no other symptoms and no blood on stool. I have several...

    Adopted 17 yr old toy poodle

    She’s only 4 pounds and you can feel every bone. She has only eaten human food her entire life, whatever her people ate. She refuses to touch any kind of dog food (stew, mashed paste, kibble…). She only has two teeth and has anal gland leaking issues as well. I adopted her Saturday and so...

    Is it fine for my 5 year old Shih Tzu (gastro issues) to eat Royal Canin Puppy food?

    My dog has been on Royal Canin prescription diet for gastro issues since he was 1. He normally eats the low fat GI line. However, he goes through periods where he gets tired of the food and won’t eat it (of course I’m sure it sucks) and I add a little olive oil or bone broth to spice it up...

    Best dog food that has no chicken?

    I’ve been feeding my 2 year old golden retriever the acana red meat dog food but I’m concerned since I’ve read it’s a brand that may cause heart issues. I can’t seem to find any dog food that doesn’t contain chicken AND contains grain in my area. The closes I’ve found is purina pro plan salmon...

    Farmina N&D Boar and Apple recipe change?

    I’ve fed my two dogs this kibble for a few months now, but when I opened a new bag a couple weeks ago, one dog (1.5 yr old poodle) suddenly became very disinterested in the food. She usually goes crazy for meals and inhales it all within seconds (slow feeder be damned), but now she sniffs the...

    Member’s Mark / Sam’s Club

    I’ve used Sam’s club dog food for years, (I know it’s not the ‘best’, but it’s affordable and accessible and I’m poor ok) but have recently found it out of stock everywhere. I thought maybe it had a recall, but can’t find anything confirming that. Does anyone know what’s up with it? Not...

    My dog won’t eat any kibble

    We adopted her at 11 months from a shelter and have had her for almost two years now. She’s a Pyrenees/cattle/Shepard/husky mix. After going through every brand, she finally settled with A Pup Above fresh food. Since it is so expensive, I decided to find a kibble and mix it for her to eat……...

    My dog ate Carna4 for about 4 months (review-ish)

    Carna4 is synthetics-free dog food that’s available where I live(Vancouver, Canada). They use sprouted seeds in their kibble which is apparently awesome, but I couldn’t really find too much online about it being good for dogs. It’s one of the kibble brands some raw food stores here recommend as...

    Anyone have experience with transitioning out of hydrolyzed diets, successfully?

    I have a ~3y/o GSD/ABPT mix (with a lot of other stuff sprinkled in) - so she has pretty shaky DNA. She currently eats PPP Hydrolyzed Vegetarian kibble, hydrated with warm water. I don't know much about dog nutrition but I would prefer if she was on more a natural diet if possible. We ended up...

    Natures Recipe botched batch. Customer service wants me to send them a cup of my batch for testing

    We have always fed our six year old, 60lb pit bull / husky / Australian shepherd mix the natures recipe salmon & sweet potato mix. He has a lot of allergies that make him super itchy and his itchiness was lessened by going grain free. So, for six years this dog has had the same food. The batch...

    thoughts on new PPP Sport recipes?

    Hey! I posted about this on the r/dogs sub but didn’t get much feedback, so i’m trying here. My pup has been eating Purina Pro Plan Sport for a while now, and she’s thriving on it! We currently switch between the chicken and salmon recipes because she gets very excited to switch things up...
