What kind of food do you feed?
I feed my three (Corgi, Border Terrier, Chihuahua) Eukanuba, but I'm looking to switch maybe to a better, higher quality food I can find locally. I can't go expensive, we're trying to be frugal... What do you recommend and what do you feed?
I feed the occasional Ceasar or Iams wet, but like I said, is this okay? Can't go the "best and most high quality", but I can afford an upgrade.

I have been feeding RAW now for a while .My girl LOVES it! There are only a few "Kibble" products I would feed if I had to.

I have a Doxie. I do feed her Purina Little Bits but she prefers Roast Chicken. I usually by the 10 lb. package of thighs & legs and roast them for her. I am looking into a food suppliment to add to it when I feed it to her. Don't know if I'm doing the right thing by feeding her the chicken but it's about all she will eat for dinner. She eats the little bits in the morning. Can someone tell me if I am doing the right thing by feeding her the chicken.

from what I read on it...it says not to cook the bones, because they can splinter and cause the dog to choke, or possibly death.

I feed my Chi Mix..Science Diet R/D, because he has health issues and has to loose weight to help him with those issues.

My Min. Pin. Mix gets Iams....so does my Collie Mix...but she is almost 8 yrs old and the Vet told me to switch her to Senior dog food, esp. since she is starting to show her age..so I have to look into that when I go shopping for dog food again.

If cost is a factor and you are looking to upgrade the food your dogs on, have you thought of Kirkland premium dog food at Costco. it would be hard to find a better food around for the money-20$ for 40 lbs.

If you want to research better foods check out dogfoodanalysis.com. They rate foods from lowest-being 1 to high protein grainless foods at #6.

I've always fed my chow/rotti mix purina for active dogs. Now that she's getting older I just in the last couple months switched her to purina mature which has a soft center for aging teeth and gums She would never eat Eukonoba for me... but cats are both on Iams and have been since I got them. I like the results from that enough that if I ever have another dog... it too will be getting eukonoba. Which I believe is actually a part of Iams??? Does anyone know for sure?

You have fairly small dogs who wouldn't need large meals. I suggest Eagle-Pack! It is excellent quality. Apparently, the best diet and least costly is homemade...which most of us lack time for, but people swear by it. Here is the contact info for a woman who has researched this topic for many years: peremi@earthlink.net She is filled with facts you might be interested in. Avoid IAMS- they actually experiment on dogs!! For non homemade that isn't THE most costly, go with Eagle-Pack. My dogs love it! If that lady doesn't reply, go online to 'homemade dog foods' you will find tons of ways to do it.

My dog loves Alpo Full course, also from Purina. I also feed her Purina canned foods. It is very affordable and very good quality.
