A lot of these good quaility food that everyone is listing are VERY high in protein and fat. What if a dog has to be on a low protein and a low fat diet. What would you suggest then? I am feeding Natural Balance right now, and both my minpins do very well on it.

Well, hello fellow min pin lover! (had no suggestions for your question, just noticed you had pins....lol

what do u guys think about holistic and trader joe's dog food?
I think it's pretty good, but if you guys haven't have any good or bad experiences with those 2 brands please let me know. I'm planning to make a permanant change.

Why doesn't everyone do these so that we know whos using what.

Everyone list what you are feeding your dog/s.
I will go first...

I am using Iams and Diamond mixed.

i make my own food, all human grade meat right from the grocery store, chicken, fish, lamb, beef, duck, chickens feet, chicken livers, beef heart, turkey necks, green tripe blueberries,bannanas,celery,carrots,apples, pears, green beans, kelp, flax seed, alfalpha, vitamins c, e , and b complex, glucosamine and chondrotin. all on the sesame seed bun. all preserved by freezing. feed RAW. and the one thing i like about this, I asm absolutley 100% positive that it is the best thing for a dog to eat, no arguing about what kibble is better. it is not just adequate (sp?) it is optimal

What are the trader joes ingredients? I looked at it in the store but what I picked up had corn as the first thing so I didn't look at any others.

We feed diamond,but sold as kirklands from costco.

Gunny I aplaud you...I hope the day comes when I can afford to feed raw. I agree there is nothing better!!! But until then I will continue to try to make sure mine get the best that I can afford.

cshimmizi, if you do not mind me asking? how much do you spend now.
Posted: 2:10:24 PM 9/4/2005
Well now that I have found my distributor I am spending a bit less. We actually sat down the other night and figured it up that we are spending right at 180.00 a month.

Posted: 2:13:05 PM 9/4/2005

I have done some research, and
egg product/dried egg product IS NOT GOOD, at least according to some sources...
There goes Eagle Pack and Chicken Soup!!

I like Wellness very much, but I love eggs, and no eggs are present in Wellness, but other than that, I like Wellness.

Hectorluver- you are right in saying that hotspots are ooozing skin infections, however they are caused by allergies. What happens is a dog itches in one spot continually until they irritate it enough to become a hot spot. Many skin problems are associated with food allergies, so it is possible that switching the food could help the dog's skin problems.

puppycuddles--You are right that egg product is not favorable, but it will not kill your dog.

I believe that Eagle Pack Holistic is a very good food.
Posted: 7:27:20 PM 9/4/2005
That's it. I'm changing my dog's food from Pedigree to Innova..or Wellness. Never even realized the awful ingredients in Pedigree. Thanks guys!
Posted: 7:30:29 PM 9/4/2005
Hmm.
That makes me feel a little better *considers Chicken Soup again*
Posted: 7:37:06 PM 9/4/2005
your right about "egg product" or "dried egg product". Whole egg or eggs are fine for dogs. Here is how it reads.

May also appear as "dried Egg Product" or "dehydrated Egg Product" in some ingredient lists.

AAFCO: Egg product is product obtained from egg graders, egg breakers, and/or hatchery operations that is dehydrated, handled as liquid, or frozen.

An inexpensive byproduct from eggs processed for human food production. Quality and contamination of this product is unknown.

For our lab, i just switched to Diamond or Kirkland not sure if i like it yet. He has been throwing up, not sure if its the food, (I remember him doing this every few months.) I used to feed purina one sensitive systems.

For our puppy, im trying chicken soup for puppies, i read the ingredience for diamond puppy and didn't think it was as good as the one diamond that our lab is on.

The kind of Diamond that i brought, said no corn or by products, the other kinds of Diamond bags didn't say that.

When a friend went to cosco i asked her to pick up a bag of the lamb and rice kirkland since i thought it would be equal to the Diamond. when i read the ingredience, it didn't match the no corn, no by product Diamond Lamb and rice iam still going to try it, in fact i just started mixing it with the Diamond. Boston has dry skin so i am a little worried. I still give flaxseed supplement.
