OK:  I will start with has anyone tried Flint River;  like the fact that it is baked and also like the variety of flavors.  ??  Thank you in advance  Nan

I use Bil Jac here. Both my senior and my young dog do very well with it.

I used to feed EVO, but got sick of all the recalls. Given, they were optional (things like the company didn't feel the Vit. D levels were sufficient) but it is VERY inconvenient when you can't buy your dog's regular food for up to months at a time.

I feed Nature's Variety Instinct now. Wide variety of flavors (chicken, lamb, beef, rabbit, duck, and maybe some others) and there's even a variety with raw boost. Same kibble with bits of freeze dried raw in it.

I feed Nature's Domain as far as kibble goes, right now... but have been thinking about switching to a higher quality one, since she also gets wet food mixed in, and a raw chicken quarter (later in the day), she doesn't go through an actual bag of kibble that fast. And our other dog is just a little guy, so he doesn't eat that much either (though he would if we let him, LOL).

Orijen is a high quality kibble (if not the best), however, many dogs have a hard time on it because it's so rich. Some people that have been feeding it for months sometimes still have problems with diarrhea.

Even if you have a food that is deemed the best by websites and reviews, it's no good if your dog doesn't do well on it.

As far as Orijen goes I found it to rich for my dog. He had mostly soft mushy poops.... sometimes just cow pies.

We feed Blue Buffalo, and while we really like how easily Shelby digests it (her system completely rejected the Purina she was on when we first got her), it's also the only one I would consider good quality that's available for us. At least for her, her poos went from disgusting and mushy (on Purina) to what they should be (Blue Buffalo). When we're looking to give her a real treat or add a few calories to her diet, we add about a 1/4 cup of goat's milk to her kibble.

The first few ingredients in Blue Buffalo is always some kind of meat (in the case of the puppy food Shelby gets, it's chicken. It's actually listed as deboned chicken, and there isn't one ingredient I think is questionable (such as 'chicken by-product' found in some kibbles). That being said, the nutrient breakdown is only about 28% of protein, and if I understand correctly, any more than about 30% can give a dog problems.
