What's a good brand of dog food to feed?

I have 2 small breed dogs that are 1. I feed taste of the wild but its a bit on the fattening side (roasted fowl 18% fat) anyways my Pomeranian started gaining a little weight from this food I've noticed (he isn't huge but he has gained a little) they do get walked 1-4 miles a day about 5 days a week. Anyways I'm not interested In raw but just high quality kibbles. Any suggestions?

Recommended Answer:

Unfortunately, most grain free foods are high in fat, so they might not be the best choice for you little guys. The exception is Blue Buffalo. They have a grain free food called Wilderness and it comes in a weight management formula.. It has 10% fat. A better choice might be their 'Healthy Weight' Life Protection formula. It does have brown rice in it, but it has only 6% fat.

• I feed Taste of the Wild - the one with the Salmon.My Icelandic Sheepdog and my Keeshond each get 1/2 C twice a day and are in excellent weight.
• pedigree and alpo
• Try Orijen Or Acana regionals. http://www.orijen.ca/A commercial raw is also a healthy Choice:Primal raw frozen grinds Vital essentials Ziwipeak http://healthypets.mercola.com/sites/healthypets/archive/2010/07/21/13-pet-foods-ranked-from-great-to-disastrous.aspx
• You have quite a few of high quality kibble options, here are a few:1) Orijen - great food, high in protein, grain free, GMO free, locally sourced ingredients from free range animals, no recalls ever that I am aware of. This is what I feed my dogs. Many varieties - puppy, puppy large, adult, six fish, and regional red. 2) Acana Regionals - made by the same company as Orijen, grain-free, slightly lower but still high protein. Comes in Pacifica, Grassland, Ranchlands, and Wild Prairie. 3) Blue Buffalo Wilderness - easy to find, high protein, grain-free. Not sure where ingredient come from but an easy choice for the average dog owner. Lots of variety as well. 4) Wellness Core - easy to find, grain-free, high protein, GMO free. Some variety as well - puppy, adult, large breed adult, reduced fat, small breed, ocean, and wild game. I have heard this is lower cost than both Orijen and Blue Buffalo Wilderness. Other options are: Merrick Grain-Free, Natures Variety Instinct with Raw Boost, I and Love and You Nude Food, Go! Fit&Free. I would feed less, the fat really isn't that high when it comes to a high quality dog kibble.Wellness Core Wild Game is 16% fat. That might be an option, although I don't suggest anything under 15%. http://www.wellnesspetfood.com/product-details.aspx?pet=dog&pid=157&dm=grainfree#guaranteed-analysis
• I feed my dogs Earthborn natural dog food. It's really expensive but it's all worth it.-healthy-not fattening-good for the fur-
• http://www.dogfoodadvisor.com/This is the best dog food advice I have read.Highly energetic dogs should be fed a high protein food like the one you are using for your little dogs. Too much protein for your dogs and this makes it hard on their liver and kidneys. I have 5 at home, all small. I was using Blue Buffalo Healthy Weight (lower fat content) for small breeds until my Dad's dog came to stay. Thinking she has a grain allergy and switched to Wellness Core Healthy Weight.
• I feed my dog pedigree chum he eats it up as soon as i put it down and it don`t make him fat.
• Keep feeding what you're feeding, BUT FEED LESS of it.....problem solved.
• Personally, I feed my mom's shih tzus Nutro Ultra. It is all natural with no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives. It also has no corn, wheat, or by-products. Ultra is also a holistic formula so it will have ingredients such as blueberries, cranberries and pomegranates which are high in antioxidants which are great for your dogs immune system. It also has chicken, lamb, and salmon which makes the food smell more, and helps dogs to love their food. My mom's dogs are crazy for it and they are extremely healthy. My mom is likes how Nutro makes all of their own foods in their own USA facilities and do over 600 quality checks each day. I hope that helps!GeoffreyPet Nutrition Specialist for The Nutro Company

well you could put 2 pics on your fridge door ...one of a woman in a bikini with the body that you would love to have and the other pic .... a grossly overweight woman eating more food ...that should sink into your subconscious and a 'new seed 'will have been born...when you think about it ...everything in life begins as a 'seed'...thoughts...ideas...ambitions....goals...achievements....love...hate...etc...

• Today is your last day of sweets missy. Do you want a sexy body or a fat ass? PURE MOTIVATION. Go on fried mushrooms e.t.c...
• print a picture of the body you wanna have and carry it with you
• do not buy unhealthy foods. If you have them, you WILL eat them, at least in my experience.
• I am unsure. I used to get cravings for crappy food. But after several weeks of clean eating and the way I feel now with endless energy and way better mood, I just don't get to many cravings. I would think of a great healthy meal. Like tonight night I made epic spaghetti with whole grain noodles and 96% lean beef. of course it was the first time I ate beef in a month, but it was awesome!!! You have to find healthy foods you enjoy. Like I love blueberries, plus the more exercise I do my metabolism gets higher and higher. Try my smoothie, it keeps me full for hours. PROTEIN!! HEALTHY FATS!!! Mega Epic Smoothie- my recipeOne cup Kroger Lite Greek YogurtOne cup blueberriesOne cup strawberriesHalf scoop whey protein (vanilla)Half scoop plant protein (pea and rice)One tbsp flaxseed w dried cranberriesTwo cups power greens (spinach, baby bok Choy, baby chard) 16 oz tap water supreme
• Ask family members to join with you. ask them to please not eat un healthy infront of you. My mom said she would loose weight and she hasnt! :( She lied to me. so try and make a video for yourself right now, like dancing a song and then ahen you loose all that fat watch it and laugh, be like im so glad i started when i did! :D
• always go grocery shopping after youve eaten and are not hungry, your less inclined to buy crappy food then.have healthy snacks on hand, like celery, plum tomatoes or carrot sticks.if you crave something sweet have sugar free gum.or brush your teeth with strong minty toothpasteget twitter and join the fitfamor visit this motivation page, it always keeps me on track http://get-motivation.tumblr.com/
• Puhlese, im 5'10" i weigh 157 and i have a flat stomach. You are not morbidly obese. I am happy with myself, if you think that you want to shed some pounds, thats fine, but your limit is 150. Ok? Anything less than that is unhealthy for your height and shit. But u get right down to it ok? GUD LUK!
• You are what you eat. Just think, if you eat some junk food, sure its gonna taste good, but then it'll literally stick with you. Is it worth it?

How to Lose Weight on Lexapro

Recommended Answer:

fast food is bad for you period. it's not dieting if you eat fast food for example: McDonald's, Taco Bell, Wendy's, Arby's, Burger King etc. it's all bad for you. the calories are all bad calories and very fattening. if you eat healthy nutritious foods you get all of your good calories which will help you diet. it all depends on the food you eat, if you want to lose weight, consume good calories not bad.

Other Answers:

• From a pur weight loss perspective calories is calories... Whether it comes from a carrot or french fries (protein and fibers boost metabolism by thermic effect tho) But you might lack satiety and nutriment from Wendy's.
• Yes, you can still go to Wendy's or any fast food place on a diet. Just make sure to choose something healthy and lower in calories. Also, don't eat fast food everyday. Fast food every once in a while is okay though. I'm trying to loose some weight too, so good luck! :)
