Dry DOG Food ???

I don't have any issues with changing flavors but I would caution against changing brands frequently. Big shifts can mess with your pet's digestive system.

Tractor Supply has a $10 off any premium dog food coupon today through the 3rd of August. Got it online but haven't used it yet so no promise it will be honored.

As humans I wanted to change flavors thinking that the dog would like a change of flavor (staying with TotW) every month it so but was told by the trainer that it's best to stick to the same food and flavor and that dogs don't look for a different taste.

Any thoughts?

How would you feel eating the same thing every single day of your life? Say brown rice and beans.
Yeah, it'll sustain you but it only becomes an enjoyment when you need to get something in your stomach.

Meals should be a time to look forward to, not some drudgery to survive. Dogs will act a lot difference at meal time if once in awhile some raw food is thrown down for them. Or try mixing some pumpkin or yogurt into their dish on occasion.
Just stay away from feeding cooked bones and onions as well as other known bad stuff.

Well, I guess my dog isn't as luck as some... I feed him the cheap red bag of old roy. I was getting "pelletized dog feed" from local Ace hardware; looked like large chicken feed pellets; but to tell you the truth I don't think he liked it much. The old roy he eats fine, and he's healthy enough. Also the "dog feed" went up to nearly what the old roy cost, so I switched. Think the old roy is around $18-20 per 50# bag; at one time the "feed" was as low as $12/50#. Once it hit $15-16 I didn't feel the savings justified it.

Edit: for those worried about vet bills and health; he's a 6 year old pit and has never been to vet at all, no health problems.

For a few years, we had 6 boxers, now down to 3 since our old girl passed at 12 and had to rehome the two youngest last year, but as for food, we've been using the Kirkland Chicken, Veg, and Rice for a number of years. Ours are free feeders plus they also eat what we eat. Vet is always happy with their checkup, blood work, etc. they are active and look good. A 40lb bag will last 10 days or more and there is food in their bowl always, but they tend to eat more at night, but might grab a snack during the day. One thing I learned about the corn filled feed is it goes fast and just gets re deposited in the yard. As I type this, they are waiting for breakfast same as me, wife is making homemade corned beef hash and eggs, they will get a bit of hash and own egg as well. They like their dry Kirkland and do well, but it's only part of their rather spoiled diet.

Making me hungry. About the only thing I like better for breakfast is a hangtown fry.
