Are you a "dog food is dog food" person, or a "nothing but the best for my pet" person. I guess I would have to put myself in more of the "nothing but the best" group. While I don't cook up all natural meals for my pup, I do tend to look for the best 'commercial' brand out there. My wife is in charge of the cat and pretty much feels the same way. Our cat Bonkers tends to throw up after eating, or whenever she feels like it. Never hairballs, just food. The vets checked her out and said only that she has a sensitive stomach and try different brands until we find that she doesn't puke up. Well, nothing worked and my wife decided that instead of switching every 6 months or so, to just stick with one and that was Pro Plan with Salmon, which she still throws up (the cat, not my wife ). Well, I recently heard of a brand that was suppose to work wonders with cats and dogs (especially cats with sensitive stomachs). The dog version is Canidae and the cat version is Felinedae . I decided to try it for both our cat and dog and so far so good. No cat throw up yet and she seems to like it better. I have a feeling the dog would eat anything, but he's doing well also. Good energy, healthy coat and eyes. Here's a link .

So, what do you fellow HTF's feed your pets?

You may just be able to edit that last line before Mr. Briggs sees it.


ALi (cat), likes the blend I make for him. A combination of:

Science Diet Oral Care (Very high fiber/thus the blend)
Iams (Orange)
&
+coughs+
a small amount of
Chef's Blend

I had to feed him this in a pinch, and the guy loves the stuff. My vet says a small amount is harmless.
Ali can't stand Felindae, I don't like the smell either. Kind of a cardboard smell.

I follow the vet's instructions to the letter. Measured amounts of food in the A.M and when I come home. Ali is trim, lean and very muscular. Vets are not fans of filling the bowl.
This may be different with an outdoor pet. I'd talk with your vet, rather than this crackpot squad

I leave dry dog food out for my dogs and cats all the time. The dry food is usually Kibbles N Bits or Chunks for the dogs and Meow Mix for the cats. The cats get a can of wet 9 Lives cat food a day, which is split between the 3 of them in the morning. The dogs don't get wet dog food. The dogs and sometimes cats will often get table scraps/leftovers too. None of them are overweight so the vet said it's ok and to just make sure the people food is not in excess and to monitor their weight. Since my dogs run in the back yard all day and the cats have the whole house and cellar, they get plenty of exercise.

I met him, fifteen years ago. I was told there was nothing left. No reason, no conscience, no understanding; even the most rudimentary sense of life or death, good or evil, right or wrong. I met this six-year-old child, with this blind, pale, emotionless face and, the blackest eyes... the Devil's eyes! I spent eight years trying to reach him, and then another seven trying to keep him locked up for I realized what was living behind that boy's eyes was purely and simply... evil! - Dr Sam Loomis(Halloween)

Our male cat suffered from a urinary blockage problem after being fixed, so our vet recommended a low-ash diet. Since both kitties eat the same food, our female also gets this diet. We usually buy either Iams or Mother Hubbard -- neither cat cares for the Science Diet.

Purina for our 2 dogs. A friend of mine worked for them and did their testing along with the other brands that are out there. There's was definitely the healthiest.

My dogs won't even touch the cheapstuff like Old Roy.

Scott, Our 3yr. old fixed male cat is going through urinary problems. He had crystals in his bladder, which they put a catheter in for 48hrs to flush him out. Had to take him to the emergency vet Sunday, then our vet Monday morning. I'm picking him up tonight. What food did your vet suggest for your cat?

Thanks

Purina Puppy Chow for my 10 month old puppy. BTW, does anyone know at what age you stop feeding your puppy puppy food?
