Dog food change success stories
First of all, we want to note that we are in no way paid to say these foods are our favorite. Any affiliation we have with these dog food companies is because we CHOSE to be affilated with them. We want to be able to bring our members special offers and prizes from these particular foods, because we would love for each and every person who reads this page to try these foods.
We have had many dog food discussions on our forums and great helpful advice from many members. Visit our Nutrition forum to post any question you have relating to this article and your experience with dog food. Our member, Lindathedogsmaid, researches food in depth, so much of the information we will relay to you is with the help and contribution of Linda. You may contact her by visiting her profile, she even does not mind phone calls:

Recommend and Most Importantly- Why.

Recent studies also show that giving your dog the same protein everyday can also cause specific protien allergies. This is why it is actually good to switch your dogs food, trying different brands and proteins. Once you get your dog on a high grade diet you can actually switch more freely without causing digestion and stomach upset problems. You may also be able to identify possible protien allergies.
Probiotics and Prebiotics help improve digestion, and are very important. But you must not be fooled by television advertisements. Almost all dog foods claim to carry these, but if they do, what benefit do you get if all the other nutrition in it is garbage? How much do they put into the food? There are few that provide this guarantee in writing under the guaranteed analysis showing HOW MUCH they put into their foods.
What you may not know is that most dog foods are not made with real quality human grade muscle meat- they are made out of rendering plants that use such 'meats' as road kill and euthanized pets!!
Dog food labels are very vague. There are just not enough laws when it comes to pet food labels. Hopefully soon these laws will change, but until then it is up to those who know how to read the labels. Linda actually calls the manufacturers of dog foods and does a full investigation and asking for information that is NOT on the labels. Cooking times and temperatures. Where they get their ingredients. Many foods are heated at too high of temperatures so the nutrients are all cooked out.
What changes should you expect to see with a better diet?
--Less stool/waste
--Less shedding & shiney coat
--Overall smell of your dog should improve
--Less tear staining/eye boogers
--Increased energy & vitality
--Immune system boost= Less allergy issues and health problems

The Nature's Variety Instinct line of foods has abosolutely no gluten or grains. It also does not have potatoes/sweet potatoes or sugars which can be a problem for some bulldogs due to the link of potatoes causing yeast. The instinct line comes in RAW form as well and the whole instinct line is formulated to be interchangeable. If you have an ongoing yeast or allergy issues.
Why Merrick?
Lower Protein
Why AvoDerm?
Found at Pet Retailers
Good for Skin & Coat
Vegetarian Formula
This is the only dog food on our list that can be purchased from a pet retailer. Please note that if you have a bulldog with allergy problems, this food is not grain-free, (but it is wheat, soy & corn free). Not only will your bulldog love this food (it smells terrific), but your pet will also smell good, and the coat will be shiney and healthy. We have had great results with AvoDerm. However, this is not the best choice for bulldogs with allergies.
They do however have a vegetarian formula for dogs who have problems with proteins.
Holistic Pet food, uses only the best human grade ingredients and proteins, fresh fruits and vegetables. Lower protein levels (about 25%) compared to other highly rated dog foods and great for less inactive bulldogs. Good choice for bulldog owners who do not suffer from allergy problems.
