Dog food?

[SlitherinSisters]

This is a great site to use when deciding which brand to use http://www.dogfoodadvisor.com/dog-food-reviews/5-star Look for something without fillers, corn, by-products, ANY dies, etc. Science Diet is no better than Purina from Wal-Mart so don't waste your money on it. I've had this discussion with my vet and she did eventually say they get paid to sell it/recommend it and she knows it's crap.

I need to find a formula that is for very active dogs. My dachshund never stops, he is very muscular, but a little bit too lean. Right now he eats Royal Canine for Dachshunds. Any suggestions?

Royal Canin looks really good and they have all the special things wrote all over the bag, and that it's recommend by vets, etc etc etc. Bottom line, if it's recommended by vets be leery of the product. Vets have a lot of say so when it comes to pets and with that comes companies that are trying to make money using the venue of high status specialists. Royal Canin isn't terrible, but for the price you could get something much better. I'm guessing you feed Adult Mini, they don't have it for each breed on this site, but here is a break down. Anything with corn in it isn't worth buying IMO. http://www.dogfoodadvisor.com/dog-food-reviews/5-star [sorry it won't link directly to the page you'll have to click on it, it's on the 3 star page] Like I said for the money you are spending on that food you could get some high quality food, probably for less.

I'm really happy with my Diamond large breed lamb and rice, it rates 4 stars on that site and Athena really filled out on it. They have a small breed lamb and rice formula. From what I've found it's the best price for a quality dog food. I pay $36 for a 40 pound bag, less than $1 a pound, you can't beat that! Diamond can be found at most farm stores, and for MUCH less than other places. I was paying over $50 for a 35 pound holistic brand before, I was happy to switch to Diamond especially when Athena started filling out!

I also feed my cats Diamond, they have lost weight and love it! Even Mr. Fatty McFattington has lost a couple pounds!
