echo44 Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 wondering if anyone had opinons about this food. I was talking to one store owner who told me its garbage and is made by purina.. I did do a little research and the company is owned by purina. He told me they play with the ingrediants in order to make the stool hard. He recommends only raw food but if kibble is the only option canidae,wellness inova ect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alicia Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 I like the information this site gives, you dont have to listen to all they say but I use it to help with other research and to start to decipher whats in foods. They ahve Pet Promise as a 1 star low quality food. http://www.dogfoodanalysis.com/dog_food_reviews/index.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dal & Mad's Mom Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 My dogs really like Canidae probably the best advice I ever got here. I'm currently using their lamb and rice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alicia Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 I've been doing alot of looking for good quality food and have ordered some Timber Wolf Black Forest as well as some Innova. I've also been told to add some other stuff to the food. Especially Fat. Check out the Feeding post here.. http://www.bordercollie.org/cgi-bin/ultima...1692;p=1#000033 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alicia Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 Canidae is also a great quality food, recommended by alot of people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coloradogirl Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 Hey Alicia, I REALLY appreciate you posting that site!! I thought Diamond was a alright food, but find out it is BAAADDD 1 star food. This would probably explain why I am having a hard time keeping the weight off of spot. I am going to switch to canidae or another 5 to 6 star food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dal & Mad's Mom Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 I looked at the link posted but, I'm confused what is their criteria are they sponsored by a dog food company? I've fed some of the choices like prarie but, the dogs hated it. I'd read up and choose from here they use whole foods digest to recommend foods. http://www.dogaware.com/dogfeeding.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelb'smum Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 Yes thank you so much for linking that site, although I noticed that they don't have premium edge listed. I have always been told its a good food, but anymore I just don't know!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alicia Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 I dont know who the site is by. It's been said that it's not the best criteria as it bases on ingredients but, that's what I liked about it. I like to know what goin in my dog and found that the food I was feeding, when broke down like that and researching them, just werent good enough. Bill stressed that the high quality foods they list as 6 star are too high in protein, which is true, so ya have to just look over the ingredients and what ya like. I chose the Timber Wolf Black Forest, a 5 star food, which I am adding stuff to and then the Innova which i am also adding stuff to. Lots of info on the other post that MyDogMilton started and I kinda took over as I got really into changin foods, but lots of great suggestions over there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack & Co. Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 Make sure you read the reviews or editor's notes. Chicken Soup for the Dog Lover's Soul is listed at the beginning of August as a 4-star food. However, the final comment by the editor says that CS gets the full 5-star rating because of the use of ethoxyquin-free ingredients. So CS is a 5-star food that hasn't been moved from the 4-star list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellen Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 Hi everyone. I went to http://www.dogfoodanalysis.com/dog_food_reviews/index.php Who are these dogfood analysis web hosts? The profile of the 'editor' is blank. I am sure the customer reviews of the product are genuine. This is 'food for thought' about the internet: Can you trust the opinion of an anonymous person who is trying to sell you something? I work in an industry where these 'self appointed experts' can destroy a brand to make money. The opinions of the real people on this board should hold more weight than those of an anonymous web site seller. I would like to hear 'who' dogfoodanalysis is before going with that opinion as an expert answer. BTW, I have not used these dog food brands so I have no opinion on them.

Alicia Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 I wish we knew who it was too. But, I do like whatthey say, they have alot of great quality food listed in the 5 and 6 star that are common knowledge have excellent ingredients, like Innova, Artemis, Canidae etc What thye are saying isnt really something that depends on experience, the only thing I am looking at are the types and quality of the ingreidients. I like the site for this reason, that's why I posted it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
