What do you feed your pets?
 

I'm talking dogs and cats here.

Dry food?
Wet food?
Standard brand name (e.g., Purina)?
Premium food?
Veternarian-sold food?
Table scraps?
Raw food?
Homemade food?
Supplements?

With all the kerfluffle with the pet food recall recently, just wondered if it mattered to you, if you pay the extra money/go the extra mile to make your own or buy premium food, or what.

Ollie our Boston terrier eats Diamond Adult , good food , he likes it , his coat is shiney and his poop is infrequent but productive .

Oh and he is the Official plate cleaner ;)

Goats are on Russian and Autumn Olive.

Dog food. Purina I think? Or the one that starts Eu...i forgot the whole name. Dry food yeah.

All our animals get dry food which is their staple. We buy good quality dry food because a) they need less of it to fulfill their nutritional needs, and b) because it does actually make them healthier. Also makes their droppings easier to clean up.

We suppliment their diets with fresh raw meat and bones and they also get table scraps.

All in all, it's a battle to keep out pets from getting too fat.

Our dogs get Purina Senior diet in the AM, and then again in the PM with a treat of Alpo (in Gravy) on top. Lately though, that's been suspect, so we have been checking cans carefully.

The cats get Purina Dental Diet mixed with Purina Indoor cat formula.

And everyone gets to participate in Pup-corn night :)

My cat is 15, he usually eats Purina One Adult, unfortunately, his molars are almost gone on one side (a recent problem) and so I have been feeding him canned food too, Fancy Feast mostly flaked only, he doesn't really like mushy stuff. This food scare has affected how I buy his food, and kind of reminds me of the Tylenol problem (because I thoroughly read all labels again and check out the can for tampering, not because I think it was a malicious act against pets)
Interesting question.

The bodies of my enemies.

Eukanuba is on the recall list.

I use Innova here, high in the quality.

UT, where do you find Innova?

but isn't the recall only for a certain type of canned food? I think that poster was talking about dry

The dog I inherited (he was part of the deal when I got married) eats dry food -- whatever it is that Costco carries (because my wife works there.)

I would not "go the extra mile" for that dog.

No pet of mine will be a canned-food snob unless that pet has an income that would pay for that stuff.

My cats get Iams dry, but I'm seriously thinking of switching them over to canned. Too much carbohydrate in the dry -- cats are obligate carnivores. As an almost-diabetic myself, I'm worried about their metabolism.

Wife and I have two Terriers (Lady and Sassy).

We feed them a combination. Wet (Purina), dry (can't think of the name right now). Then they get other things like raw potato, carrots, brocolli. They do rather well with those kinds of food.

Of course, since my mother moved in with us a couple years ago, she has tried to feed them things like pizza crust, spaghetti and other things that I would prefer she NOT feed them.

I've been feeding my cats Iams for 14 years. I know its crap, but they like it. The vet convinced me to buy raw meat/fish food from him because its so much better, but the cats wouldn't eat it.
They also like sardines, tuna, salmon etc. from a can, and Banzai likes alfala sprouts, asparagus, peppers, fruit...
