What do you feed your corgi?

You do know that the site is not nutritionists, just a bunch of people with opinions, right?
The part about corn is honestly bunk. I've looked up the feeding/absorption studies. Dogs process corn (as prepared for kibble) quite well, though the soluble fiber does bulk up the stool. SOME dogs are allergic, most are not.
The fact that they rank Iam's at the same level as Kibbles n' Bits was the first thing that made me look at who they were, because a quick read of the bag will tell you that they are simply not comparable foods at all.
My breeder feeds Eukanuba, one of their "awful" foods, and she's been breeding, raising, and showing champion Corgis for 3 decades.
"DogFoodAnalysis is a part of BoxerWorld.com, one of the largest and longest running dog forum communities on the internet. With many thousands of questions and health related queries in the feeding and nutrition forums on BoxerWorld over the last decade, many of which relate to how to decipher pet food ingredients and advertising - to sort the good from the bad - we realised the need for a dedicated site to help our members choose good quality foods for their pets. Want to join us? Click the forums link on top. We welcome owners of all breeds (there are many members on the site who don't own boxers). "
It would be like if some members here started ranking foods.
Wellness is a nice food. I wouldn't feed Pro Plan because it's higher protein than I like, but I also would not call it an awful food. I consider it fairly mid-line, based on most of what I've read about what to look for.
Sorry, not picking on you, I just get alarmed at how often the dogfoodanalysis site is quoted as if it's based on any scientific analysis at all. It's just some people's opinions, nothing more, nothing less. You can find dog nutritionists online who directly contradict some of the claims at DFA. It's a nice starting place to compare ingredients and price, but I ignore the stars.

Thanks for your answers, I really appreciate it!
The breeder we got Biscuit from recommended Purina Supercoat (but from what I can see, maybe that's an Australian-only variety?) and the mix of rice/meat/vegies/fish etc. At the moment it seems to be doing the job so I think we'll stick with it! I want to make sure we're doing the right thing for her, obviously, so will look into some of the other types when we're getting to the end of the bag!

Rosie and Rocky get Nutri-Source Lamb and Rice. They are full of energy, have beautiful coats, good teeth, bright eyes, no itches, and it's made in the US, Minnesota to be exact. It isn't really easy to find in my area but sources are getting better. You can find it online. It's not available in the big box stores and is easier to find in feed stores or farm supply stores, at least here in Iowa. A local pet store carries it finally. They love the food. Stools are usually fine. This is not to be confused with Nutra dog food.

I feed my 10 month old pup Knuckles Nutro Ultra Holistic, and I mix it with the same brand wet food. He seems to like it, and he has a nice coat and he's a great weight.

I feed my Cricket Natures Variety Prairie food. So far so good. I was thinking about getting some of their Raw food mixutre to give her a couple times a week. Eating the same thing every day HAS to be boring. I know I would hate it.

I like to mix things up by adding fresh foods to their kibble (scrambled egg, canned salmon, yogurt, cottage cheese). They seem to like variety.
Then again, they also seem to like eating poop. :-)

I had to laugh at your last sentence.. it's so true! We're all feeding our corgis so well, putting so much thought and effort into ensuring they eat a well balanced meal full of everything they need... and then Biscuit eats her own fur. And a slug.

Is there any reason that Taste of the wild is better or worse than Wellness? Seems that wellness is one of the only few (i don't know of any others) that use ethoxyquin-free ingredients, but wellness cost more than any other food.

Not trying to persuade anyone on a particular food here, as that is a personal choice, but wanted to let you know that Taste of the Wild dog food does not contain ethoxyquin as a preservative; they use vitamin E. There are several great pet foods on the market without this harmful preservative. The Whole Dog Journal is a wonderful source of information about dog foods, if you're interested. A full dry/canned dog food review is published every year.

That's what I was thinking and it's why we feed it to our furkids. Thank you for confirming it.
