WELCOME TO THE FOOD GROUP - This group was started in an attempt to present well-researched and FACT-based information on the amazingly complicated and confusing issue of feeding our dogs. There are also many issues we would like to explore. We thought it would be helpful to put all of these questions, information, and feedback into one place here on DK where everyone can find it, contribute to it, ask questions, and learn together.
WE ASK THAT YOU NOT POST ANY RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PRODUCTS FOR WHICH YOU RECEIVE ANY TYPE OF COMMISSION OR COMPENSATION. THANK YOU.
IMPORTANT-PLEASE READ "FOOD GROUP GUIDELINES" BEFORE STARTING A NEW DISCUSSION.

I think this is an easy question. I think Maggie is tired of her food. She's been eating the same thing for a long time, and she's kind of blah on it. She's my most reluctant eater anyway.She's eating Nature's Variety Instinct Raw Boost Beef. She's…Continue

Riley LOVES her kibble but she is really not super motivated by any treats we've tried. We really haven't tried that many (just pure bites chicken and Zuke's minis, right now using a different Fromm kibble as treats) but we need a couple different…Continue

Hi everyone,I have an 11 wk old goldendoodle puppy named Beau. Three days after picking him up, he had diarrhea and vomiting. His fecal sample was initially negative. After a stint at the animal hospital (the vet initially thought he may have parvo…Continue

hi doodle friends,I have fed Ollie girl the Wellness LID Simple Salmon and Potato for over 2 years now, but recently couldn’t find anywhere the smaller bags, which I prefer. They’re more convenient, stay fresher, and we know the happy that comes…Continue

Hello all! My doodle currently eats Zignature Trout and Salmon grain free after trying Orijen for many months and him being constipated from it. He has done great on Zignature now for almost 3 yrs but my vet and many breeders I follow are now…Continue

My turn to ask for advice. :)Jasper's digestive system has gotten a little bit "off" the past few weeks. I'm chalking it up to new and different treats, and too many of them; the treats were being dispensed very liberally during the weeks leading up…Continue

Hi all, I'm a first-time puppy owner and recently got a 19 week old labradoodle named Ridge. He's the sweetest little guy and loves to play and snuggle. He's been on Life's Abundance since my parents brought him home in California at 12 weeks. He…Continue

I added some treats (Charlee Bear liver and Fruitables sweet potato and pecan) to Haley's auto ship food expecting them to be shipped at the same time as the food. The food arrived Friday. The treats are in transit but estimated delivery is July…Continue

Yeah definitely an occasional treat at $6 each (this is a big 6" one) but she is loving it:) trying to make up for our kibble debacle the other day lol. I'm sure she doesn't remember but I have mommy guilt :p
Tracheas are such a great choice of chews! No danger of them breaking a tooth, and they are a great source of glucosamine and chondroitin to boot. Most dogs love them.
The beef tracheas are a little too big for Jasper, but I found lamb tracheas, and he loves them. Highly recommend them for the smaller guys.

Thanks, Sue. I do stay aware of who makes what, but this will be a helpful resource.

Dont know if anyone has seen this
Thanks Laurie. Target also sells a line of Barkbox treats and donates the profits to local shelters and rescues. I just worry that if I say you can buy good treats at Target, people will end up with Beggin' Strips, lol. Nobody seems to read anything any more.
I wanted to let everyone know that Target nows sells Old Mother Hubbard treats.
Thank you Karen and Laura!
I'm gonna throw it out there that our pup really enjoys green beans (canned). We put those, mashed sweet potato, or canned carrots on his food and he really likes that. Our pup isn't a big eater to begin with (he often eats part of his breakfast or skips a meal here and there), but he does enjoy having some veggies with his food when hungry.
