You can choose multiple options since some of us feed more than one food type on a regular basis.

The poll has also been set up so you can come back and change your current choices.

Note:  In order to change your selections at any time, you have to pick the Remove Vote selection to the left of the poll.  Then, you can pick your choice(s) again.

thanks for starting these polls JustMe.  It will be interesting to see the outcome.

Daisy was totally homecooked up until the my catbite.  Since then I just haven't been well enough to hop back on the wagon.  So right now she is eating Wellness Super5 Mix.  She doesn't like it much but she will eat it.  She refused to eat the Evo.

Mine get Natures Variety Raw and some of their grain free canned. She loves it and no problems in about a year since I started it.

JustMe; good poll, will be interesting to see results.

Reddie has been eating homecooked 1 1/2 yrs now - today was batch cooking day. She's still doing great on it and no plans to change.

I'm still home cooking for the little diva..... Wink

I do use a very small amount of  kibble (NV Prairie, Wellness Core or NB Duck & Tater in rotation).....only about 1/4 cup per meal.  I also buy Stella & Chewy's Freeze Dried Lamb Steaks now & then to crumble on top......they're a bit pricey but I notice she eats them off the top first...... Smiley

I've been able to maintain her weight & she has a very healthy, shiny coat.

Still not comfortable with using canned, which I used to do now & then.  Not sure which ones I trust these days....... Tongue

If it says Remove Vote at the top, does that mean I already voted?  (I can't remember if I did   Smiley

Small dog - Wellness canned, occasional home cooked.

Big dogs - home-cooked (beef & pork) and occasional Wellness canned right now.  Have also used raw (Farmore beef & buffalo) and dry (Pinnacle trout) over the last year.  I think I may just feed them all home-cooked for awhile.  I did buy another bag of dry but will keep that aside for emergency food supply for now.  (no chicken for these two so they are expensive critters to feed)

I used to think that anyone doing anything weird was weird. I suddenly realized that anyone doing anything weird wasn't weird at all and it was the people saying they were weird that were weird.

Hey Sandi K, good idea - get all the cat-only people to vote for our favorite type of food!

I am looking for a good dog food for my Bordie collie/mini aussie mix...i bought by nature dry Dog food since its not supposed to have grains most reviews seem good on the web...but i came across this site and several people have had issue with by natures cat food...i'm wondering if it is only limited to the cat food grains issue...or should i be looking for an other dog food like Evo innova.

Marcus- Not many of us here are comfortable recommending a specific food. What is safe today,may not be tomorrow. Also each cat & dog reacts differently to certain ingredients, grain amounts & so on. If there aren't many responses about the By Nature for dogs in the brand by experience threads ,try starting a topic with a question for anyone using it.

Welcome, Marcus.  The threads that lesliek mentioned, under Dog Food Experiences by Brand, may help you choose a food for your dog.  Most brands are listed there, with people's experiences in feeding that food to their dogs.  I hope you can find something that works for you!
