B & Ruby eat Ziwipeak dehydrated and Lilys Kitchen wet and Twig eats Lilys Kitchen wet as its pretty much the only food she can tolerate, it is like a homemade food made from organic ingredients and they dont use any derivatives, they seal the raw ingredients in the tin and slowly cook it, to look at some of the tins the meat looks pretty raw or more rare than i would eat anyway they prefer it and do better on it than the ziwipeak tins - they dont smell like they did when they were mainly kibble fed, the do small poos, dont get the teeth benefits but they have the ostrich tendons which are great for their teeth and have really improved T's teeth i used to put logic on her teeth everyday and she still had bad teeth since the ostrich tendons they are nice and white - (they also all have a couple of bone in chicken meals a week) I very very occasionally feed Fish4Dogs salmon small bite, altho i think this is good as far as kibbles go, they do smell a bit if they eat it for a few days and do bigger poos Chloe what are Ostrich tendons and can they eat them or just chew - I always worry about choking on things like that

Natalie get the tooth pulled whilst he's under he won't have a clue putting your dog under unnecessarily is just silly when it can all be done at once!
Mine love ostrich tendons and they go so soft and soggy they don't choke ever on them

I feed a mixture of things. Roxy eats Fromm (thanks to Kristi)! I would prefer not to be on a kibble, but from the research and things that I've read, I really do trust it and think it's a great kibble (as great as kibble can be). She also eats some ZiwiPeak. I try to space it out because it's so expensive. But, she loves it! She also eats Stella and Chewys. She LOVES that stuff! I haven't been able to notice much of a difference because I switched her over from what she was on to this new stuff pretty soon after I got her. But, her fur is SO shiny and SO soft! And I have noticed that she LOVES to eat now. When she was on the food the breeder was feeding her, sometimes it was really hard to get her to eat. Now, she dances around when she sees me getting her food and will not stop until I put her food down for her!

I'm feeding James Wellbeloved Turkey and Veg atm to Feo, and a diet version for Eva. Ive stopped feeding Orijen and TOTW because they have fish or fish oil in and they set off Feo's allergy dermatitis, And I've stopped giving it to Eva cause she was getting really fat, it was too rich for her even though I only fed under the guideline ammount. I will give her the rest of my stocks when she has lost some weight. Feo's fur has partially grown back since I put him on it though which I am happy about I suppose. I am not crazy about JWB though, if anyone can find any kibbles that are grain free and have no fish of any kind or fish oil I am open to suggestions. I really would like to change if I could find something else. (Can't fit Ziwi in my budget ) Luposan is another food with no fish and no grains but it has no actual meat in it- only meat products so I don't want this.
