What Brand Dog Food do you Feed Your Dog and Why?

it was foolish for us not to invest in quality products(No knock on Costco at all). So now our "kids" get Blue Wilderness canned(had used Newman's Own also) and Orijen Senior Dry. They Love it!!


Just out of curiosity is there any difference in their coat/health, etc? We had been feeding Blue Buffalo but got tired of the cost so we tried the switch to Pro Plan and have had great results. Price doesn't necessarily equate with quality.

I certainly agree about price vs quality but with that being said, I generally do my research on the numerous available WEB sites dedicated to "rating" both wet and dry foods. I tend to go so far as to pick the top rated(in this case, 5 Star) foods chosen in individual flavors(meaning certain products from the same manufacturer can have different ratings).The health aspect is difficult to answer due to the length of time I've used these products...here again, My "kid's" seem to have lived long lives on the "not as highly rated" foods...all I know is they eat it, they like it and as a consumer, we feel better knowing a tad more about the "quality" of ingredient's that make up these foods. I'm NO scientist, so I rely on the review's of independent researcher's in making these choices.

With four dog's, no matter their size, price can be a consideration although ordering through the internet seems to offset the difference a tad. The "pet food" industry is massive and corporate bickering is evident in every aspect of it(Purina accusing Blue Buffalo of misleading labeling/product ingredients) so here again, relying on review's is what we do to help in determining quality. Unfortunately, in many cases, price does reflect quality but I'm open for suggestions for finding a highly rated food at the lowest cost comparatively speaking? :)
