Which do you believe is the better type of dog food?

Question by worldtrotter4112: Which do you believe is the better type of dog food?
I am curious to ask about my dog food. We just moved to an area, and have a new vet. We rescued our dog about a year ago from the shelter. The shelter and our previous vet believed that Wellness or Natural type dog foods are best for a dog. Number 1 ingredient should be say ‘Chicken, Lamb, Fish’ etc. No by products. Our dog has been on Wellness and Nutro Ultra mix. She has been doing well for the past year. The new vet suggested that we switch her to Purina “One” and believes that these are better for her..I read the ingredients and number 1 ingredient is Chicken, lamb but within the ingredients is “poultry by-product”..I am a bit iffy to switch her to a commercial dog brand with by-products. Does anyone have advice or has been in similar situation. I am confused..One vet says this, two other sources say the other..

I would check the ingredients. The last thing you want to feed your dog is by products. You need to make sure they are whole and the ingredients are readable. If you cant make it out what it says then its not good for your pet.

is Nutro Natural Choice dog food better for the dog or Hill’s Science Diet better?

Question by daiseychicky: is Nutro Natural Choice dog food better for the dog or Hill’s Science Diet better?

Best answer:

Answer by Jo
I think they are both about the same as far as quality and I wouldn’t personally recommend either one! Both were majorly recalled and had continued recalls. Also, I think they are substandard foods by comparison to healthier ones on the market. If I had to choose between those two only, I’d choose Science Diet.
Brands I’d recommend that weren’t recalled:
More median priced:
Nature’s Recipe- the game blends: Venison and Rice, Duck and Rice, Fish and Potato, Rabbit and Potato
or, a bit more in some places:
Canidae (if your dog has a sensitive stomach this may be a bit rich for him, but any new food intro’d has to be intro’d gradually to avoid digestive upset).
Orijen- no grains in this food, high in protein. Some breeds do better with lower protein food. This is a great brand.
Wellness- many varieties
These are some that weren’t recalled recently.

Q&A: Is Beneful a better dog food than Nutro: Natural Choice?

Question by Alessa: Is Beneful a better dog food than Nutro: Natural Choice?
I know Nutral: N.C. isn’t the best dog food out there, and since price can be a bit of a problem I know the better brands like “Taste of the Wild” and “Blue Buffalo” can be a bit expensive. I plan to switch dog foods as soon as I can for my 1 1/2 year old healthy female Pomeranian and I was wondering if Beneful is at least a better choice of food than Nutro is? If not, what is better than Nutro, but not too expensive?

Best answer:

Answer by Bare Nekkid TRUTH!
beneful is pure GARBAGE

one of their fomulas doesnt even have “meat” in it.. the closest thing it had to meat was “animal fat”.

PLEASE HELP! What is better for a puppy with a sensitive stomach???? ?

Question by Zeffer: PLEASE HELP! What is better for a puppy with a sensitive stomach???? ?
My pup has had chronic loose stool (forming cow pies) to a few spouts of severe diarrhea squirting out.
He does not have worms, giardia and the vet thought it might be a bacterial infection in his stomach and gi track. He was treated for that but a couple of days after the antibiotics which also acts as a stool firmer it started once again. I have tried California Natural and Eagle Pack Holistic with no success. At this point I am ready to make a drastic change. I wanted to try Dick Van Pattens Natural Balance. I am torn between the Duck and Potato and the Sweet Potatoes and Fish formula. Does anyone have any experience with this??? I also thought this brand may be good because he is a basset hound and I know they can be very prone to food allergies. So I thought grain less may be good. I even had him on a digestive supplement that was “fructo oligo sacchrides”. Which is a pre-biotic that helps the gi track absorb nutrients with no success also.
My only concern with these formulas is that they are only about 21% protein and 10% fat which seems low for a puppy. I have read reviews from people who raised their puppies on this food and the dogs grew to be very healthy. So I thought I would give it a shot and just monitor him closely to make sure he is gaining weight and muscle mass. Because I would think with the stool issues and the poop just constantly quickly coming out that he would not be absorbing many nutrients.
What do you think???
At this point I am so frustrated with the problem (not him) that I want to make a DRASTIC change. I will not feed Science Diet Prescription formulas because they are garbage! So please do not even suggest that.
Nor am I interested in feeding a raw diet.
Thank you icon smile PLEASE HELP! What is better for a puppy with a sensitive stomach???? ?
Yeah cat food is HORRIBLE for dogs, thank you!!! The California Natural formula he was on was Chicken and Rice only.
I know the switching of foods is not good, but it can’t go on this way. So in switching the food this time I was thinking I would take it extremely slow. About a week and a half to 2 weeks. Instead of just a week.

    Question by jennifer84corinne: Which is the better dog food: Natural Balance or Wellness?
    I use to feed my puppy Wellness when I first got her. Then I switched her to Natural Balance Organics. I have noticed that she eats my parents dogs Wellness Super5mix food. I don’t like switching her food so much but I guess I don’t know which is better.. probably whatever she likes I imagine… hard to know what she likes!

    Anyone know the difference between the two brands?

    Best answer:

    Answer by lys j
    there’s not much difference between a few of the brands that are out. i’d just stick with what she likes best

    Question by semajmarc87: Why is natural dog food better?
    I always hear that natural dog food is better than regular dog food. I’ve given my dog Science Diet and Pedigree but I’m thinking of going natural and giving him Blue Buffalo so he’ll be healthier. I think my dog has allergies and I’ve heard natural food can help that. So, why is natural dog food better than regular dog food?

    Answer by Dessy S
    Because of the nutritions. The name gives it away really…
