To be honest, this ticks me off. Especially because the food promoted in Marley & Me is Puppy Chow!

Anyone with knowledge on reading dog food ingredients could see that this is NOT made to human standards.

Does Chicken Soup for the Dog Lover’s Soul dog food contain ethoxyquin in their fish meal? How cn I find out?

I need to know if Chicken Soup for the Dog Lover’s Soul uses ethoxyquin to preserve their ocean fish meal.

I have heard that since the they don’t catch the fish themselves they don’t have to add in the label if the companie that they recieved the fish from uses ethoxyquin as a preservative in the fish.

Attention LARGE BREED DOG BREEDERS (food question)?

I am getting a Great Dane puppy and an American Bulldog pup later this year. I know to feed a food with multiple proteins (meat/poultry/fish/eggs) and no straight lamb/rice diets, a moderate protein and fat level and of course moderate calories. I will only feed my dogs a food that is naturally preserved and human grade.

I have heard that I need to give them NuVet Plus (canine) tablets for the rest of their life, is this true? If so, where do I get them?

So basically, what brands of dog food is going to be the best for my babies? I, as everyone else in the economy these days, am on a budget. I feed my Pointer (53 pounds) Merrick dog food and it’s fantastic for him! He is turning 4 years in April, is there a food for all life stages that would be appropriate for all 3 dogs? I have also heard that Drs. Foster and Smith’s dog and cat food are very good foods, is this true? (I have used their website for all my medications, bowls, beds, collars, Heat Guard etc, and LOVE them!) Thank you for your help!

Im asking beacause we have 6 dogs to feed & they eat quite a lot so looking for the price too.. 3 that were rescues and 2 that were technically recues at our shelter here but were owner surrendered…
They range from 15lbs- ~50 lbs in weight.. we just started them in that.. As they are going to be making us go broke from all the food we have to buy.
Where I live its about $23 for a 40 lb bag, quite a bit cheaper then what we were paying for before switching.
