BARF FTW.

Though if I have to pick kibble, I'd go for Nutro.

It's an entirely raw food diet...meant to simulate what they'd really eat but give them all the dietary requirements they need.

My dog eats scraps. He only eats dry food after it's been in his bowl for 3 days and he's hungry cause we've been eating out nad haven't had any scraps for him. He just looks at me like, "What is this crap? Where's my chicken bones?" :lol:

I've heard cooked chicken necks are bad news as they splinter, and chocolate is a nono

the chocolate thing is either a myth or my last dog was a freak of nature. My mom fed him chocolate at least a few times a week since he was a puppy and he lived to be 18 before he was put to sleep. He was a beagle/something mix. We got him for free before I was even born. I'm not sure what he was mixed with though I think the other half was a brittny

Bella and Willis get this nasty smelling all organic kibble and I have no idea what it is called, maybe Blue Moon something. My Lab/Chow mix, Dusty, he gets ProPlan Performance and he loves it.

yea some of those foods sticks up the entire house.
what i like to do is make a big pot of beef stew every other month, then i put it serving sizes, then put it in the freezer. then all i do is pull out a baggie of beef stew, heat it up and serve it. dutches really goes nuts for it.

Chocolate thing is not a myth! Chocolate takes forever to digest for dogs.
Every dog is different, true, but chill with the cocoa!


...my mom feeds my sisters toy poodle dry dog food mixed with boiled chicken. Good for the dogs coat 8-)

We fed Sage Purina puppy. We bought a big bag, and once it ran out, she seemed big enough to move to like "young dog" or something of the sort. We do not give her people food at all, as our families together have like 6 dogs and they all beg, so we don't want ours begging.

It works wonders so far. We had one incident where she stole a hot dog at a party lol, but other than that she gets her bowl filled with kibble when its empty and she eats when shes hungry.

It's nice though cuz she rarely begs, even if shes sitting right next to the plate on the bed or something... its a luxury.
