Default What kind of dog food do you buy?

I normally buy Ol, Roy but sometimes if I find a sale then I will switch brands. Is that ok to switch brands of dog food? MY dog will eat anykind just fine, she seems to really like the Ol, Roy the best tho.

I buy Purina Pro Plan. You are not supposed to switch brands of food. Thats really bad for your dogs digestive system. Ol Roy is not good for your dog either. LOL I used to buy it until I read the ingredients & found out what they really are. Its really disgusting when you think about it. Thats why I buy Purina Pro Plan. Its not really that much more expensive & its better for your dog.

Abrupt food changes can cause digestive upset. If you want to switch brands it's best to do so gradually over a period of about 1-2wks.

OK thanks I had no idea that this would hurt my little gracie if i switch again I will do it gradually over a couple weeks. What do you do just mix a little in with there regular food? I have done this before if she dose not like it she will pick through the food and eat what she likes its so funny.

Yes, you're supposed to add it to her regular food & take out a little of her regular food until she's eating nothing but the food you are switching to. But it's really best to just stick with one kind of food.

Yes that is what I have learned I am thinking about buying the Purina Pro Plan like you buy the next time. Can you get that at Walmart? Or do you have to buy it from a pet store? I normally buy the 20lb bags of food or bigger if I can, do these come in a huge bag like that?
Thanks

I've not seen it at WalMart. But some WalMarts are different. You can check at yours. I always buy HUGE bags of food because I have 3 dogs that are 50lbs + I buy the 50lb bag. I believe it's $14 for the 50lb bag. I don't think that's a bad price. I buy it at PetSmart. I buy it because it doesn't have animal by-products in it & the 1st ingredient in it is beef. It's pretty good stuff for a cheap price.

Wow that is cheap and its a huge bag. Now I feel stupid I could have been buying this huge bag of food for her for only 14 bucks. 50 pounds would last forever with her.
Thanks for all the info.

LOL You're welcome. It might be more expensive in your area. But that's the price it is here. But it should still be pretty cheap. I'm just saying that so you don't walk in to PetSmart & see the bag of dog food for like $16 & think I lied. LOL

LOL oh it better be 14 lol just joking. Yes I know that the price could be a little different I am hoping maybe cheaper than your price would really be nice. But no I would never think that you lied over this.
Thanks
