What dioies your dog eat????

Nutramax, but I would love to find something that is better for her allergies and to improve her skin/coat condition.  Any suggestions?

Riley eats Nutro Natural Choice Lamb and Rice kibble (the miniature kind).  I put a little bit of water on it.  It's the only way it will apeal to him.

California Natural Lamb & Rice formula. She was allergic to chicken food, and her skin cleared up a lot when we switched to this.

Cody eats Nutro Natural Choice kibble.  I also like to put some water on it, it's the only way he will eat it.

Meco, eating raw meat in no way shape or form will make a dog aggressive.  A dog is not associating a peice of raw meat with the local cat or sheep. 

What does make a dog chase livestock or wild animals is prey drive which all dogs have, some have all the motor patterns, some do not.  For example a Border collie uses it's prey drive to herd sheep, the collie is actually acting like a predator towards the sheep. 

A livestock guarding dog on the other hand does not have the complete set of motor patterns to eye stalk and chase sheep (if they do they are poorly bred Guardian breeds .  A guarding dog has been noted to guard a dead lamb for days and the farmers are normally surprised and amazed at how wonderful the dog is for guarding this dead lamb...the fact is the dog would love to eat it...it just doesn't have the proper motor patterns to know how to tear it open to eat it...a cattle droving dog or terrier on the other hand does have the entire series of motor patterns to eye stalk, chase, grab bite and kill bite and dissect which is why a breed or mixture with the full series of motor patterns is going to be more dangerous and have the "kill drive" where other breeds have had those motor patterns bred out of them. 

So, a Rottie or Terrier that has never eaten raw will have kill drive and can kill another animal (or child)...where a collie, retriever, pointer or guardian dog have had those motor patterns bred out so they do not have the kill drive. Of course there are exceptions to every rule and with bad breeding they can obtain some of the bred out motor patterns.  So, it doesn't matter what they eat, it's the drive level they pocess.[]

For my dogs I feed a combination of kibble, canned, dehydrated, freeze dried, raw, slightly cooked foods.  I feed kibble in the morning either mixed with equal portions of canned to kibble or dehydrated, or freeze dried.  I rotate in their kibble with tripe, canned wild salmon, sardines, yogurt etc.  I feed a raw meal in the evening with slightly steamed organic veggies, organic flax oil or fish body oil, yogurt (organic) and free range meats, free range eggs shell and all, the shell is very high in calcium and has the perfect balance of calcium ot phospherous.

I believe in a huge variety for my dogs and rotate between Nature's Variety, Go Natural, Canidae, Natura, Solid Gold.  I switch foods every 3 months or so.[]

Sparky suffered from allergies his whole life (RIP 2003)... he was on straight kibble.  I think that's what caused it.  If I could go back, I'd probably put him on a raw diet.  []

Flint River Ranch, Lamb and Rice.

Mine has severe allergies and has done wonderfully on Natures Prarie the Beef and Barley type.  They make it in kibble, canned and raw.  The ONLY thing that has helped.

I don't know why, but Buck doesn't like crunchy things - not even treats. So, I make his kibble a little moist with warm water, and mix in a little can food. Sometimes he gets egg or other cooked food mixed in as well.

We are feeding Blackwood kibbles, anybody feeding the same?

My last Springer Spaniel ate Nutro Natural Lamb & Rice dry kibble & did wonderful on it after a severe allergic reation as a puppy to another "premium" food that had corn in it. My next puppy (in 2007) will be fed Natural Balance per the breeder's recommendation.

Kato now eats Blue Buffalo kibble for seniors and also BB canned.  He loves both the beef and chicken canned, but won't touch the lamb.  It's all moistened with tepid water.  He is doing great on this and seems to have more energy and spring in his step!

I just started my dog on an all raw diet.  It took me a while to get up the courage to start with it but I read a couple books and I've read a lot online so I finally took the plunge.  So far, so good.  We've been at it for about 3 weeks now.

Before raw I fed him Natural Balance organic formula kibble.
