What dioies your dog eat????

my dogs get a high quality kibble and occasionally i'll mix in a tab lespoon or two of premium canned food.

We feed Nutro Natural Balance for large breeds plus the occassional treat of canned or home cooked.
However, since I joined the forum, I've read many discussions on food qualities & decided to try a different kibble.  In the meantime (they're owrking on a 40lb bag) I started cooking & they now eat kibble with home cooked everyday.

Mine has a diet that is constantly being updated.  I mostly feed cooked added to kibble.  I would feed raw but I don't trust the meat that is sold in the supermarked without cooking it first and pesticide free meat is so hard to find.  Also I live in the middle of the desert so raw fish is out of the question, takes to long to be shipped her.  I try to avoide beef but feed a cooked brown rice and salmon meal mixed with kibble and supplements.  Once in a while I'll add cooked lamb or chicken to her food but I'm still expermenting with what works the best for her and the amount of rice and other grains I add.  Eventuly I may just swich to a cooked only meal with no kibble but for now I add kibble just in case I'm missing something important with cooked alone.

Oh My Xebby, I would never worry about meat you buy in the supermarket that is intended for human consumption. My dogs love to bury pieces and bones and let them "bake" for a few days, and eat it maggots and all. Wild canids are often carrion eaters, and regularly consume the feces of other animals.   True story..... once after I had been feeding raw for several years I was in for a (rare by this time) vet visit. There was a relatively new vet in this practice, and she commented on my dog's condition after the basic exam. I started grinning because I knew what was coming, and sure enough, she asked me what I fed. When I replied that this dog was on a completely raw diet with zero commercial food, she was horrified and began her "bacteria OH MY Salmonella OH MY e-coli OH MY" lecture.   I gently interrupted her, and told her that this dog had been raw fed it's ENTIRE life, and reminded her that she was the one who had commented on the dog's excellent condition. In addition to that, I told her, let's be realistic here. This is an animal who licks it's rear on a regular basis, and will eat feces in many instances, so I really can't get concerned about some properly handled raw meat.   Mine love it, and the stinkier it is the better they like it.     Not trying to convince you to feed raw, just passing on some information.

It's just my worrie and my own openion but when the meat is cooked it breaks down the pesticides and such chemiacls that are pumped into the cows that make them larger and makes it safe to eat cooked meat.  I eat cooked meat from the stores all the time but would never let my dog eat it raw.  I'm more concerned with what humans do to the meat then the raw and bacteria/salmonella  factor.  Agean it's just my openion and I'de rather be safe cooking the food then to take that risk with raw.  Not trying to start a debate, just wanted to explain myself.

I feed raw and dry dog food.  My doberman gets nutro-natural choice (high protein formula) and my corso gets the same brand but large breed puppy (controlled growth formula).

Shadow (10 year old) gets Nutro large breed senior food. Buck (3.5 months) gets Nutro large breed puppy. I also have lots of packets of nutro food left over from Chinook (passed on) that I don't know what to do with. I may mix them in with their food, don't know yet.

Hi all, my pointer (5mths old) has a diet of raw meaty lamb bones,chicken wings and then a dried food called "gelert" which is wheat and dairy free as he suffers with colitus, since changing his diet about 2months ago to the raw diet he has put on weight, a nice glossy coat and his toilet problems are all over!!!
Very good for his new teeth too and the old ones as the bones helped to get them out, he chews every bit and doesnt swallow the bones until they are fully crunched and then eats them.
At first was worried about the thought of him having raw bones but now would never look back and dont think jazzie would either lol.
claire & jazzie x

Romeo gets raw meat and bones, raw tripe, fresh fish.
 
For back up I use Innova Evo and Iceland Pure Fish Pate.

We feed our dog's both kibble and canned dog food along with the occasional treat and we try not to feed them table food to much because it gives them diarrhea.  I guess it just too rich for their system.

Reese, I do the same thing with my dogs. I feed them twice a day with mostly kibble with a tablespoon of canned food. They get an occasional milk bone, but Shelties are known to have very sensitive stomachs and if I give them anything else but that, they tend to get diarrhea.  Occasionally, I will give them raw carrots as a treat.

My girls both eat Lamb & Rice kibble, with occasional treats. Every now and them they will get a cooked egg or some bacon grease on the kibble. other then that, no "Human" food.

What are the pro´s and con´s of cooked food for dogs? I feed my dog either cooked  or processed food. I was told that raw meat makes them agressive. Is that a myth?

Zoe eats Natural Balance Fish and Sweet Potato.  She gets the occasional RMB, occasional baby carrots and other nutritional doggie treats.
 
  Right now just the NB as we are trying to figure out some allergy issues.

My dogs eat Nutro natural choice lame and rice.
I am lazy to wash thier teeth so I just let them eat kibble.
