I have used several foods over the years. I now use Royal Canine Sensible Choice foods. Diet for the old guy and puppy for my younger dogs. I like the extra protien and they like the flavor. I have found, however, that all my dogs have become sensitive to an ingredient in every brand at some point. I change foods if my dogs' coats become dirty and smelly after only a few days post bath. Changing the 2 main ingredients usually works, but if that fails to cure the problem, I change brands and all is well again. I chose Sensibe Choice the last time I changed so that if my mom's Cuz Monster came to visit I could feed him. He is wheat sensitive. sheila vomkristallaugen@xxxxxxxxxxx wrote: What brand so you feed your dogs. The old ones...Purina Pro Plan and Eukanuba; or the newer holistic types (SG, Innova, Canidae, Nature's Variety, Timberwolf Oganics, etc), or RAW I know it is a touchy subject so feel free to answer in private. I'm just trying this for my own sanity. To get a general idea. Thanks in advance to all how answer me.
