I swear by Purina One Lamb and Rice. It keeps their coats shiny and their teeth sparkling. Even my 16 year old Aussie has great teeth. My vet also agrees. I had tried Blue Buffalo,Wilderness, Science and Iams in the past and none of my dogs even wanted to eat it. I also add some rolled goods that you have to refrigerate. Can't remember the name and I'm so far into the current roll, I can't read the name. BJ's sells it. I never feed chicken products,but will sometimes feed beef. I have never had any allergy problems or teeth problems in the 15 years (actually, I think its longer than that). Lamb and rice is recommended because its very digestible and because lamb is slaughtered before they start grazing. They pick up fewer toxins with lamb.

Blue Buffalo Wilderness Blend Duck w/ Blue Buffalo Wilderness wet food Beef & Chicken grill. She likes it especially when some bacon or chicken is chopped up and thrown in with her kibble.

I've had Oscar my 10 year old Pembroke Corgi on the Barf Diet (bones & raw food) since he was a puppy. Kangaroo is the best because it is the leanest meat!. I give him Ekunuba Weight management dried food because a fat Corgi is not a healthy Corgi!. I also have him on fish oil capsules 1000 mgs a day this is good for his skin and coat. He also gets carrots and raw vegies and his treats are smacko's. My Partner Paul and I had a live in cook Alex who used to feed Oscar when we were @ work hence the weight management food! sadly Alex passed away last year and Oscar still goes into Alex's room and lays on his bed wondering where his friend has gone. It's true what they say read your dog the are a great judge of people!. Paul Takes Oscar & Sam out red cattle dog to the Hospital where he works the patients love them it is good therapy and the hospital administration encourage it plus the dogs are loved by the kitchen staff! whom I might add get read the riot act from me when I come to collect them and Paul @ the end of the day!.
Regards

I recently switched from feeding the girls raw food because I've become pregnant and can't handle the raw chicken anymore without getting a bit green. So we've switched them temporarily to Solid Gold Sundancer which has no grains, no gluten, and is high in protein. They give me the "are you serious?" look every time I put it down, but I just started adding a bit of their salmon oil to it for flavoring.

I feel Mini presciption dog food, S
I feed Mini Urinary SO prescription dog food. She had struvite crystals as her PH was always on the high side and gets frequent bladder infections. The last time she did have an infection with no crystals in it as she is on this food. It seems to help alot as she only gets a bladder infection every 7 or 8 months apart vs a few months apart. It has a lot of corn, fat etc in it to balance the ph, but I wish I could feed her a healthier petfood brand. The vet recommends it and it does help.
I did home made for awhile and that was ok, googling low and high ph foods, but that is time consuming. Anyone out there have this issue with their female corgi, corgi's suffer from this a lot my vet said.

When we first got Max as a rescue he weighted in at 54 lbs. He's a fluffy and big bone but that was too heavy. I started him on Pedigree weight control dry. In the morning I mixed in non-fat cottage cheese or non-fat yogurt. Evening I mixed in canned chicken (98% fat free) or tuna in water. Carrots were the preferred treat. He dropped the weight easily and has maintained a healthy 37lbs for the past 6 years. When we got Katie I fed her the same diet. The past year I switched the dry to Blue Buffalo for weight control and I've noticed that neither one of them put on any extra weight over the winter when they get less exercise. I also put my cats of BB and I like the results for both the dogs and the cats.

Sadie eats Blue Buffalo, small breed because she likes the little bites.

Linus eats blue buffalo freedom grain free dry and wellness 95% chicken flavor wet food. He gets about 1 and a half cups of dry a day and about 1/4 cup wet. He used to get that spread over two meals a day, but he pretty much stopped eating his morning meal. He's only a year old and weighs 26lbs.

We feed Toots and Toula Purina One in the yellow bag. It is the only dog food we can find around here that has actual chicken or lamb as the first ingredient instead of corn. Toula has only had Purina One since we got her. Tootsie used to get other dog food that had corn as the first ingredient because we didn't know any better. She would get these spots on her, mostly near her tail stub. She would chew and chew and we couldn't do anything to make her stop. We gave her allergy medication and put triple anti-biotic ointment on them and peroxide and nothing did the trick. I spoke with a fellow dog lover and they suggested switching the food to a meat first ingredient and it did the trick!

Probably the question we should be asking is WHY we are feeding our dogs what we're feeding them. It's just as important to seriously consider what they need to eat as it is to determine what we need to eat. It shouldn't surprise anyone that pet obesity is on the rise and it's due to one thing and that is the food they're eating and how much they're eating.
I highly recommend visiting this website: http://www.dogfoodadvisor.com and reading what it says about the food you're feeding your dog. Will it cost a little more to feed him or her a better quality, species appropriate diet ? It sure will, but isn't it worth it ? Your dog will live longer, and be healthier.
No one thinks about the long term results of feeding low quality dog food laden down with meat by products, corn gluten, animal digest, soy bean meal, ground rice, ground yellow corn, animal fat, and wheat, but shouldn't we ?
When dogs come to the end of their lives prematurely and their owners are crying their eyes out because they can't bear to part with them, that's not the time to think about how they could have provided them with a better quality diet.
Dogs were designed to eat meat not grains, yet every prominent dog food manufacturer supplies foods that are created from the cheapest forms of protein they can scrape up off the factory floor. Quite frankly it disgusts me.
Studies have shown that people who are more concerned about their personal nutritionalal habits share that concern when it comes to their pets food.
