It's more expensive but it is only made from quality, local ingredients. Our pup is small (8lbs) and he doesn't eat very much so we're willing to pay the little extra for his nutrition. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brand-of-dry-food-do-you-feed-your-catdog/page/2#post-1268625 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 08:31:01 +0000 avivoca 1268625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cats: Iams weight control and Sheba wet food<br /> Dog: Science Diet dry and Nature's Choice Wet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brand-of-dry-food-do-you-feed-your-catdog/page/2#post-1268547 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 06:21:16 +0000 ElbieKay 1268547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right now we feed our kitten Life's Abundance because that is what he was used to at the breeder. He seems to like/eat it, which from what I understand is not always a given for cats and dry food. So, we will probably stick with it at least for the time being.</p> <p>He also gets some Fancy Feast twice per day, also because of the breeder, unless there is something better lying around. We had a good run with turkey after Thanksgiving, and his poop was way less stinky. Not sure what the long term solution will be for wet food, but we get the second kitten in 1.5 weeks so we will wait to disrupt the Fancy Feast routine until the second one is settled in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brand-of-dry-food-do-you-feed-your-catdog/page/2#post-1268437 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 23:24:17 +0000 Mrs.Panda 1268437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Royal Canin isn't the best but it's certainly not the worst. Their prescription diets are good and the vet office I worked at before recommended that line over the Hill's Science Diet. We used to feed Royal Canin but have switched to Blue Buffalo the past couple of years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brand-of-dry-food-do-you-feed-your-catdog/page/2#post-1268398 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 22:12:59 +0000 irene 1268398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My cat has issues with crystals in his urine / UTI so he eats prescribed dry food only. The brand we have is purina urinary U/R. We can't even give him treats or he will go to the ER again. Poor thing. He's been starting to pick up around the high chair nowadays though. I am keeping my fingers crossed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brand-of-dry-food-do-you-feed-your-catdog/page/2#post-1268337 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 21:18:52 +0000 Sunderling 1268337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use either Acana or Orijen dry food for our cat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brand-of-dry-food-do-you-feed-your-catdog#post-1267893 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 13:00:11 +0000 PurplePumps 1267893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We feed him the Costco brand food. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brand-of-dry-food-do-you-feed-your-catdog#post-1267875 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 12:45:02 +0000 BSB 1267875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nutro for my dog. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brand-of-dry-food-do-you-feed-your-catdog#post-1267676 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 08:34:33 +0000 swedishfish 1267676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: haha, I much prefer a glass with Brita filtered water. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brand-of-dry-food-do-you-feed-your-catdog#post-1267659 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 08:01:02 +0000 MrsBrewer 1267659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We feed our cats Blue Wilderness (the grain free option of Blue Buffalo) and they are thriving!! We were told by our vet the duck and rabbit proteins are easiest for cats stomachs to digest, so we stick with the duck variety.</p> <p>We feed our dog Fromm Gold because of the great quality ingredients, and because they are local! I love buying local to support businesses around here, and knowing that the food itself hasn't traveled very far. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brand-of-dry-food-do-you-feed-your-catdog#post-1267651 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 07:53:11 +0000 Dandelion 1267651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both cats and dogs eat Taste of the Wild. They all eat it up well, it's not as expensive as Orijen or other brands, and it is really healthy. </p> <p>@yoursilverlining: Ha! My tabby cat is the ONLY animal in the house that begs for toilet water. She loves to go in there and drink up, lol. The dogs and the other cat will just ask for a bowl refill of water, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brand-of-dry-food-do-you-feed-your-catdog#post-1267636 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 07:21:32 +0000 Cole 1267636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do Acana also, I chatted with my vet about whether he thought it was worth the cost and he was a huge fan. It isn't cheap but I swear in the event of a natural disaster I would have no qualms about feeding it to my family. My dog loves it and has a super shiny coat since we switched. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brand-of-dry-food-do-you-feed-your-catdog#post-1267628 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 06:21:04 +0000 sorrycharlie 1267628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just switched to royal canin </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brand-of-dry-food-do-you-feed-your-catdog#post-1267626 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 06:12:21 +0000 LittleFox 1267626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We fed our dog Natural Balance. Before that he was on a prescription food for skin allergies (Science Diet ZD) as part of a food elimination trial, but his allergies turned out to be more environmental than food related. Before that he ate Solid Gold, which was also a good food. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brand-of-dry-food-do-you-feed-your-catdog#post-1267584 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 01:55:04 +0000 sometimesshesings 1267584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Taste of the Wild. </p> <p>Since we switched to this grain-free food, our dog stopped scratching, her coat turned noticeably more silky and shiny, and she seems to need a lot less food overall (~2 cups per day for a 45 pound dog). It's not cheap, but I feel like it's worth it if it will prevent health problems later and make her skin more comfortable now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brand-of-dry-food-do-you-feed-your-catdog#post-1267509 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 23:15:57 +0000 yoursilverlining 1267509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: haha, before you get too jealous of my cats diet, keep in mind that her favorite watering hole is a toilet...so it's not all fancy here! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brand-of-dry-food-do-you-feed-your-catdog#post-1267505 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 23:13:40 +0000 MrsRcCar 1267505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our dog eats Grain-Free Merrick. Our cats eat something like chicken soup for the cat lovers soul or something like that. They like it well enough. Not my first choice but it seems to be what all of them will eat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brand-of-dry-food-do-you-feed-your-catdog#post-1267413 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 22:09:28 +0000 Boheme 1267413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: We feed Fromm Gold too! Our golden mix kept getting sick on Blue Buffalo... It was too rich for him. Fromm is a good fit for all three of our dogs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brand-of-dry-food-do-you-feed-your-catdog#post-1267386 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 21:44:46 +0000 StrawberryBee 1267386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another one for Acana (dogs). The cats are unfortunately on a rx brand for allergies. All the expense and none of the quality :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brand-of-dry-food-do-you-feed-your-catdog#post-1267381 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 21:39:19 +0000 spaniellove 1267381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: Totally true. When we switched from whatever she was on as a puppy to EVO (back before they got bought out) her hair finally grew thick and shiny. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brand-of-dry-food-do-you-feed-your-catdog#post-1267361 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 21:28:57 +0000 LovelyPlum 1267361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: fair. Our dog eats 1 1/4 cups twice a day, but it's still way less than she would eat on something like Iams. I can really tell a difference in her fur and her poop when she has the good food though, so for us, it is worth it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brand-of-dry-food-do-you-feed-your-catdog#post-1267359 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 21:25:45 +0000 pelikila 1267359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are currently feeding a grain-free Merrick to one of our dogs and a prescription-only version of Royal Canin to the other dog (she has severe allergies). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brand-of-dry-food-do-you-feed-your-catdog#post-1267334 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 21:07:34 +0000 artsyfartsy 1267334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We like the 4health brand because it's a 4/5 star rated dog food and is actually super inexpensive. We only pay $23.99 for a 20 pound bag (may be 15lb. DH can't remember but he's pretty sure it's a 20lb). </p> <p><a href="http://www.dogfoodadvisor.com/dog-food-reviews/4health-dog-food-dry/" rel="nofollow">http://www.dogfoodadvisor.com/dog-food-reviews/4health-dog-food-dry/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brand-of-dry-food-do-you-feed-your-catdog#post-1267328 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 21:03:35 +0000 Mae 1267328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Blue Buffalo for the pup and Royal Canin Protein Preference for the cats. </p> <p>We had some illness issues with one of our cats 2 years ago and after that he really didn't want to eat enough and lost a lot of weight. So we just bought a ton of different kinds and did a taste test and this was the winner, so we stuck with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brand-of-dry-food-do-you-feed-your-catdog#post-1267315 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 20:51:36 +0000 littlecasita1122 1267315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Blue Buffalo - both our cats have been eating it since they were kittens. They both stopped wanting wet food when they were about 6 months old so they've just been eating the Blue dry stuff ever since! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brand-of-dry-food-do-you-feed-your-catdog#post-1267314 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 20:50:36 +0000 spaniellove 1267314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: Agreed, that stuff can get pricey! It's only doable for us because she eats 1/4 cup twice a day and even then I feel like I'm buying the giant bags constantly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brand-of-dry-food-do-you-feed-your-catdog#post-1267310 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 20:48:40 +0000 LovelyPlum 1267310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: there's so many good ones out there! I was amazed. And she eats so much less now that we feed her "the good stuff"-less fillers! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brand-of-dry-food-do-you-feed-your-catdog#post-1267309 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 20:47:52 +0000 swedishfish 1267309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: His activity is limited due to bilateral hip dysplasia so that keeps his consumption down. He still does eat a lot though! </p>
