Started with Eukanuba with my English Mastiff as a puppy, GAS! Moved to Royal Canin Giant Breed for about 6 months... STILL MAJOR GAS Finally moved to Innova Large Breed.. Gas Is much Much less.. Really only has it when updet from being scolded.... He's a little over 11 months old now.. 15 pounds... Trust me you want to feed a dog like him something that does not give him room clearing farts.

I second this one.

My pet store owner friend said that meat meal, bone meal or meat by products are dead dogs and cats. http://www.newstarget.com/012647.html

So check the ingredients.

I feed my dog nutro. I mix a couple bags together also. I just think it might taste better.

tried to edit.. thats 135 pounds of farting dog... still has 2 years of growth ahead of him... LOL

Eukanuba is highly recommended by Veterinarians still. Pedigree isn't in the same class as Veternary blend Eukanuba.

After trying a about 5 different kinds this is this one my dog likes the best! :thumbsup

I also feed my dog Prarie Brand Raw Beef Medalions. She LOVES them. I will have to check out the one you suggested! :thumbsup

Just like people different dogs will like and tolerate different foods. My 13 year old doesn't even chew her food - she swallows it whole. They all also eat birdseed that fell from the feeder, anything I accidentally drop on the floor (as soon as I go into the kitchen they stand around me staring at the floor...) and if they could get through the babygate, they'd eat the cat poop.

Talk to your vet, get some recommendations and go from there. Also don't change brands immediately - do it in parts - maybe add a few bites every meal or so for a week+. See what works for your doggie :)

i'd love to feed them a raw diet but its A LOT of work. like tony said we use innova evo. much higher in protein and lower in carbs than most brands.

Because they are "good" brands. Not necessarily the best. Whats best is what works for the dog. My Rotts (12 yrs, and 4yrs old) can not eat anything with beef due to a skin allergy. There system doesn't process the protein properly. They are not related either it just happens to be a common thing with the breed. Half the foods mentioned here would probably make them sick as hell.

The last dog I had was 17 years old when I put him down. He ate Iams for as long as I could remember. Nothing wrong with the food.

50 dog lovers :thumbsup :thumbsup

cheers :glugglug

it is tons more protein :)
its good stuff.

I use Nutro too... it is suppose to be good for their stomachs.

I feed my pit bull innova

My GF is a vet and we feed all of our animals Nutro. :thumbsup

try feeding 4 dogs and 5 cats nutro. by the end of the week, it costs more to feed them than it does me and my gf.

Nutro Max minii chunks for our Chihuahua's

The websites show NutroMax adult has more protein than the Innova dry dog food.

I have an akita and a mutt. the mutt is 50 pounds and the akita is 115. I feed them both Nutros

I would suggest

1. Eukaneba
2. royal canin

Both are great, and don't have added salt to make it taste better for the dogs(like pedigree)

Also they need less from it, so which means they shit less too:) Also since it's less salt, they won't need much water, which means less pee etc :)

Also, you can ask your vet as well.

He is beautiful. My female mastiff topped the charts at 190 ..(RIP precious)

pro plan sensitive skin and stomach, i used nutro before but my dog had dry skin and the pro plan i got is made with salmon and has more oil in it.
