What are your top 3 favorite dry dog food? - Page 10 - Maltese Dogs Forum : Spoiled Maltese Forums

Coco and Lola are on Merrick. It is one of the few good foods which does not have rosemary in it. They are on the Cowboy Cookout, although I tried the chicken pot pie, or whatever it is called, and but I understand that chicken can cause tear staining. Coco loved Canidae, but I discovered it also has rosemary, so we changed. Fortunately, they both seem to like what they are eating.

It's not the worst, but it's not good. There are better foods for less or the same price. There are plenty of threads on the foods we feed and if you have questions, feel free to ask!

I'm sorry I'm so late on the reply.

You could try Dick Van Patten's Natural Balance or Wellness, they are both at Petco.

So I can't really recommend any commercial dog food anymore since I haven't had any around for a few months. The only general recommendation is that the food should be: grain free, moderate fat and protein.

How do you determine how much to feed her (eggs, chicken, veggies, etc.)? I'm new to this so I'm trying to figure things out if/when I do give him human food. Thanks!

I use Royal Canin dental formua,it's a perscription food,it really helps w/ tarter. Been feeding ti to my kids for 4 years and they love it. I get the large dog size kibble,it makes them work harder to eat it ,clean the teeth better too and keeps their jaws and teeth strong. the large kibble was intimidating at first ,so I would break it up and slowly they became crunching the whole pieces,so I don't have to make it smaller now. Even Bitsy w/ so many teeth gone and Rylee w/ about 5 teeth can crush it and break it and he's a tiny litttle dude.

I'm noticing some arguing re: the petfood thing and was wondering if someone may be intentionally trying to aggrevate you guys (for some reason my mind wonders if that nutty lady who is a miller breeder - remember all the discussions re: her website) decided to get a fake ID to mess with people? I've seen weirder things happen online. So I just caution folks not to get too caught up in arguing with those who seem fine with their pet food choice

I have fed my pups Wellness, Merricks and Orijen (they preferred the fish to the red meat) and am currently feeding Blue Buffalo (dry with some canned Blue Buffalo Blue's Chicken Stew mixed in). Pups are seeming to like it.
