What are we feeding for top grade food these days ?

[Liberty & Justice]

So with just 2 weeks until Freedom arrives I've ordered a few different foods. Fromm's Gold Puppy ( Pinkish bag ) and my ole time favorite Ziwipeak Tripe/Lamb. Just curious if there's anything worthy of these two companies. I know Orijen but cannot seem to find Acana anymore. If there's a food worth looking at let me know. Thanks everyone........

I was feeding Fromm Gold puppy pink bag also but @C908 informed me the correct food for our breed pups is the blue bag. He actually called them and talked to a specialist there.

He sent me the email with the explanation but I lost it somehow. Maybe he will chime in and explain.

There is not that much difference between the pink and blue bags so I ordered a blue bag and mix it in with the pink and feed that.

Well we feed a Raw Diet but!

No doubt hands down I would go with Ziwipeak! Awesome company. But I also would do a rotation with their different meat proteins.

AIR-DRIED SCOOP & SERVE

MEAT, ORGANS & NZ GREEN MUSSELS

FREE-RANGE GRASS FED FARMING

NO ANTIBIOTICS OR GROWTH PROMOTANTS

NO GRAINS SUGARS OR GLYCERINS ADDED

Fromm adult gold black bag is good. Pay attention to the protein amount on any food you get if you are feeding a puppy. Orijens protein is too high for a growing pup.

I will see if I still have the email from Fromm, they assured me the blue bag was correct for doberman puppies. I have been using it since I talked to them. Mercy seems to really like it and her stools have been good. We do 2 cups in the morning and 2 cups in the evening.

You know, since you say that....

Freyja has not had a cow patty poop since we switched to the blue bag.

Thanks a lot for that info buddy.

So just swapped Maze's food for Canidae dog food. Its pretty good. I was recommended to it by a Barber who said the coat of the dog was so much better than any other food he tried.

Maze has ate about half the bag since the purchase. And she seems to enjoy it. Good stools, good coat, no excessive scratching.

Its expensive but Dobermanns are high maintenance.

Thanks Stryker,


We were on a Raw diet for a few years but then switched to the ZiwiPeak about 6 years ago ? Since my last two passed last year I was more curious if anything new hit the market that outshines.

Typically I swap between the venison and the fish/makrel/lamb.

Thank you for chiming in.

We fed Albert the Fromm Gold as a pup but I can't remember which formula it was. He did very well on it though.

We transitioned Phoebe from the breeders food to TOTW Wetlands and she's almost always had nice solid poop on it.

It won't be long now until you have your new baby!

You know I've fed that TOTW and it is a good product and easily found. Problem I don't care for Ziwipeak if you run out or travling it is rarely ( very rare ) sold in local stores. It's an order only item and typically it's needed to be bought a month in advance so you can have a supply.

NO KIDDING, down to 10 days now. WOW the time flew for me. Be prepared to be photobombed Jan

Ive been reading through most of the threads since I joined and im worried Im not feeding the right food to Skynyrd. Im confused on the no grain vs grain. Ive been feeding him Victors Hero grain free. This is what was recommended to me and what he had been eating before I got him. Is this bad? Should I change it?

That's a big debate these days and there are arguments both ways. Our dogs have always been on a grain free food and have done well with it so I haven't jumped on the grain inclusive band wagon since it could change again tomorrow.

Thank you for responding. I think I will stick with it for now. His coat is nice and shiny and he is healthy and happy. I hate to change things when they get upset stomachs and diarrhea so easily
