What does your dog food look like?

Sometimes it looks like this... other times its just a bowl full of beef heart, liver, chicken livers, beef tripe, lamb bones, eggs, or some salmon and or tilapia, some sardines and some chicken gizzards or some other yummy raw meat and then some chopped apple and some bell pepper and some spinach with some olive oil on it and some digestive enzymes for maximum absorption...

She is seriously a pig, just a friggin pig. I'm not sure what to do here, she eats just about as much as Justice does, and she's NOT FAT at all. I thought the bowels would slow her down to a healthy level, and I guess they did what they were designed to do. But wow what a pig.......

Welcome to the pig's club. I am seriously hoping Ashra's appetite wanes before the new pup comes along otherwise it looks like I'm going to be eaten out of house and home! She's pretty much been on a 2500 calories a day diet since I got her, and I am just waiting for the day I can finally cut back her food. Recently she's been getting about 400-500 calories extra to put the weight back on, but I'll be taking it off by lowering the ANF amount to 2.5 cups probably either next week or the week after that. Still though, 2500 calories at ten months old >_< when it will it end?!

I'll post some pictures up tomorrow morning as she's been fed already, but this is her daily menu:

Breakfast:
2 cups of The Honest Kitchen Thrive/Embark dehydrated food (approx. 1000 calories)
400-500 calories worth of either canned tuna, eggs, spam, minced meat or raw rolled oats with peanut butter and olive oil (depends on what I've got in stock)

Dinner:
4 cups of ANF Adult holistic mixed with 1/2 cup of Diamond Natural kitten kibble (approx. 1500 calories)
She doesn't like the ANF very much but I'm running out of THK, the only other option Diamond Naturals (dog version) gives her really bad flatulence and it's only a month before we're out of here, so I mix in a bit of cat kibble to entice her to eat it.

Supplements: Pet Naturals of Vermont daily vitamins
 
Everyone's food looks really yummy! Wow, you get Spam over there? That comes from here in Minnesota - in fact very near where Hubby grew up.
 
I'm pretty sure Spam is available worldwide because it's easily stored and doesn't go off within a short period of time. I knew it was American but not exactly where it came from :)
 
Here are some images of what Zoey's meals look like. She's raw fed as you can see ;)

As for the cat food we feed lower quality canned (Friskies) and feed grain free kibble. Kibble varies, one month its GO then maybe Acana then the next month Simply Nourish. Depends where we are and what we feel like grabbing for them
 
I got a pic of his food before he ate it.

I float his kibble for 45 minutes before I feed (since its not heavy in grain it takes a while to absorb the water)

This is the can of food I grabbed today. He go 1/3 cup in his evening meal (hes losing weight so I need to put some on him)

I figured I should update this, seeing as we're no longer in Mexico and I'm not feeding Ashra the same food.

She gets 5-5.5 cups of dry food (Acana) split into two meals (a bit less than 3 cups per meal). At the moment we're still going through the sample bags... so I mix it up about 4 : 1 Acana to whatever sample food, in this case Wolfsblut Grey Peak. I don't soak the kibble because she doesn't like it soggy.

She also gets about 150-200g of wet food each day divided into two meals and mixed in with the kibble (either Terra Canis, Fleischeslust or Chewies depending on what's on special):

I supplement her meals with coconut oil (occasionally - if she has had worms or is otherwise not looking super shiny), sea algae (1 tsp on weekends), and multivitamins and salmon oil daily.

Her food looks more or less like this (except the bowl is full before I give it to her):

Matt, how much would you estimate that bowl of food costs for you? And do you feed it once or twice a day? Looks like doggy heaven! :)

A good guess would be 2 dollars a bowl per dog. So like 10 bucks a day, or close to it.

This is their evening meal. Mornings they get the beef grind. Which is much cheaper. Less than a dollar a bowl for that meal.

I cut the quick on two nails last night on Justice. HOLY S*** he's bleeding like a stuck pig. I have it wrapped now. I used baby powder and the skin glue with a cotton ball and then taped the entire leg as it's now the 3rd time I've done this and he pulls it off. Oh man I hate doing nails !!!
You should try a nail grinder they are much easier and less chance of bleeding...but if not a small jar of quick stop will last forever and works great!!
