Which food do you feed?

I feed Bailey TOTW. I rotate between Sierra Mountian (lamb) and Pacific Stream (salmon).

Bailey had a lot of tummy trouble as a puppy. The only food that helped her was california natural lamb and rice. When proctor and gamble bought them out, I needed to find another lamb based food with limited ingredients and a mid 20% protein range. I'm not comfortable with the high protein diets. After weeks of research, I settled on TOTW Sierra mountian (lamb). It's grain-free, 25% protein and doesn't have a lot of ingredients. She loves it and has been doing great on it.

Now I am transitioning her to pacific stream (salmon). I am going to rotate between these two formulas every 2 months. I also believe it is good to get your dogs used to many different meats to reduce food sensitives. So in a few weeks, I'm going to add different canned food to Bailey's meals.

Snap has been on this since he outgrew puppy food. I never did a scientific study at the time. It seems to me that the "percentages" were very close to whatever Wellness mix I was also considering. I wanted something natural and something for small breed dogs. I like the fact that this contains a number of different proteins.

I feed Artemis Fresh Mix too, but I use the Small Breed Senior for slightly less fat. They do very well on it. Pixie (who needs a duck-based food) eats Go! Duck forumula.

I fed this until I switched to the Canadian foods. I was very pleased with it -- there are some excellent foods out there.
 
I feed Belle Wellness super 5 Chicken because I have been feeding my cat Wellness since we got her almost 3 years ago and she has an amazing coat.. I thought since it works so well for the cat it would be good for Belle (albeit the canine variety) and she is doing very well on it.

like you, I am thinking of trying something else for variety but will stick with a chicken variety.
 
The adult crew get Blue Buffalo Wilderness Salmon (and occasionally Duck). The puppy eats BB Puppy Longevity. They all have to die for coats, perfect stools, and tons of energy.
 
Sandstorm gets Blue Buffalo Lamb and Brown Rice.We made this switch about 3 1/2 weeks ago, and he is doing well on it and likes it. His poops are normal, the same as when he was on nutro lamb and rice. We switched because blue buffalo is a better food- we pay $47.00 for a 30 lb bag which will last almost 2 months.
 
April was on Eukanuba Small Breed Weight Control, and did well on it. The pet store we have locally doesn't bring it in anymore, so we (I) switched her to Acana Light and Fit. I think she's doing well on it.

I would have loved to keep Emma on the Eukanuba - she did well on the small breed, but there was limited selection in either store I shop at and they did not have the weight control one.
 
Oh wow! This is a great thread so far! Keep it coming! I'm starting to narrow down choices based on some of the feedback.

Thanks guys!
