  Re: "Yum!" What's Your Favorite Dog Food? Reply Contact * Lexi and Darby, Bichon Frises * 8yrs and 6yrs * Currently Natural Balance Potato/Duck (but switching to PetGuard Lifespan when gone, not seeing a big difference in their allergies on NB), PetGuard Beef canned. I keep trying other things but I always wind up back with Lifespan dry and canned because it produces the best results for my guys. * 8am 1/3 cup, 5pm 1/3 cup. 1T canned each meal plus warm water * looking for results that produce thick coats, minimal tear/beard staining (although when our water supply changes sources their beards vary on the staining), small stools, minimal gas, minimal health issues (ear infections, foot-chewing, etc), small stools.   Shamrockmommy Furmom to Gobie the minpin terror, Lexi and Darby the bichon girls

Reply Contact * Golden Retriever, Akita, Beauceron * 8 years, 4 years, 6 months * Trying Rotation of Natural Balance, Solid Gold, and Blue Buffalo * I sadly have never measured, i just no how much i fill their bowls, and keep a close eye on their weight- if they look thin, i add a little more, look like their gaining, a little less.  But all three get fed twice daily * Good ingredients, have fed all three with good results.  Would love to do raw, but do not have time/necessities for it for 3 big dogs (between 60-110 lbs).
