Big dog owners - what kind of food do you feed?

We feed Casey Nutro Max (for overweight dogs Chat Icon Chat Icon She's a little chunky).

Last time I was at the kennel, the owner told me that she has heard a lot of cases where Nutro causes bloat and she has even heard some dogs die from it Chat Icon We haven't had any problems with Nutro, in fact, since we switched to it probably about 2 years ago, Casey's coat has been nice and shiny.

Misty gets Beneful Healthy Weight - 2 cups a day.
I have tried to switch her to a better brand, but she gets really sick every time. And she is healthy and her coat looks good, so I'm just sticking with the Beneful.

I feed science diet senior. I started with science diet, then decided to feed natural foods so I switched to merrick because it's supposed to be all natural etc etc etc(woman in the store claimed it was the greatest thing), but my collie didn't seem to do too well on it. I also tried Nutro Naturals?(the one that comes in a white bag with pics of grains on it)... Then ended up using Science diet again. I cook for them on weekends too. Boiled chicken gizzards, stew marrow bones, sweet potatoes, peas, carrots, apples.

Do you mean big breed or overweight doggy???

My dogs are considered large to some (65 pounds each) and we give them pro plan chicken and rice. It's what our rescue group uses and recommended. We never had any problems with it and it keeps them in good shape.

merricks....We switched from Pedigree and Porter is so much better on the merricks. His coat is shinier, his behavior is better.

We have a 100lb Rottie and we feed her Canidae Dog Food. She really seems to love it and they have a few different flavors to give her a bit of variety.....
