Started out feeding my high-priced lab Holistic Select on the recommendation of my breeder. It was hard to find locally and very expensive. I looked around and compared ingredients and realized that the Pure Balance line sold by Walmart had nearly identical ingredients and percentages as the expensive stuff at a third of the price. He gets that now.


Eh...wot?

Fromm's Original Recipe. This Lab has been on it since before we got him. He's the healthiest Lab with the nicest coat we've ever had.

Usually Taste of the wild (yellow bag) 28% protein.
Trying True Source 27% protein 15% fat. I don't think I'll keep her on it she seems slower with it.

Yup the price stinks. usually tsc has it on sale as does a local dog store. We've tried other brands but either she didn't like them or made her lazy with all the fillers and junk.

One thing I really believe in is use a puppy food. Which ever brand the puppy formulas have nutrients to help the organs and immune systems develop .

Blue Buffalo - either Lamb and Rice or Chicken and Rice. Alternate so she thinks it is something new and exciting. Healthy food with very minimal yard mines to clean up.

Diamond naturals . They like it, and they dont seem to poop as much. There are so many dog foods out there, it will make your head spin. just find one they will eat, and don't change foods a lot. Dogs stomachs can be problematic with constant food changes.


If your mind draws a blank, turn off the sound, because ya can't learn a thing if you're doin all the talkin
