[Dailydrool] Dailydrool Digest: Dog Food

[Rkbeard at aol.com]

The web site:  _www.dogfoodadvisor.com_ (http://www.dogfoodadvisor.com)  is 
one that  I have found very helpful.  It seems to very unbiased, and covers 
more dog  foods than I ever knew existed.  I am currently feeding one of 
the foods  that they rate as
Four Star--Victor Joint Health Formula.  I would recommend any of  their 
4-star foods, and most of their 3-star foods.  The things I try to  avoid are 
soy, corn, wheat, and gluten--these seem to be the things that  most 
frequently cause food allergies.
 
I would recommend checking the site for 3 and 4 star foods, then taking a  
list to your local pet food supplier and checking prices.  I have had good  
luck with the foods listed in your e-mail--another one I like is Blue  
Buffalo.
 
So far as feeding once or twice a day--I feed once a day, and my adult  
bassets get two measuring cups of food per day.  With good quality food,  they 
stay in good shape. However, if your dogs are more active that mine, they  
may need more food.  If you want to feed twice a day instead of once,  simply 
divide the daily ration in half and feed 1/2 in the morning and 1/2 half  
at night.  It may not look like much food, but they will do fine.
 
Feel free to e-mail me off line if you wish.
