Lauren E
MemberHi I’m not sure if this is where I’m supposed to post this, sorry if I’m in the wrong topic but I need advice..
I recently reconnected with an old friend of mine who told me she’s feeding her dog beneful. I was pretty horrified because I believe beneful is one of the worst foods there is. I asked her where she buys it so i could possibly switch her to whole earth farms or something, being that we’re kind of young and not very financially stable and she needs a cheaper food. But her dad is a very nice but stubborn man and they buy it from Walmart and I’m not sure if I would be able to convince them to switch (also since we’re not that close so my opinion wouldn’t be that influential). Anyway sorry for rambling..I was just wondering what people thought was the best food I could suggest to her to switch to that is sold at Walmart.
I know none of them are good but in your opinion which is the least bad?Thanks in advance for your time and opinions.

ParticipantPure Balance 3.5 stars is sold at Walmart. It’s an Ol’ Roy brand but better than the original Ol’ Roy. Also, the newer Purina Beyond products like Purina Beyond Adventure 3.5 stars.
If there is a Tractor Supply or other feed store, there’s 4Health (Tractor Supply) and Victor Dog Food. Victor Multi Pro 50 lbs was $33 at my local feed store rated 3.5 stars.
Kroger has a new brand called Abound which is 3.5 stars. I don’t know the price.

MemberI second what Sandy said and also, the Pure Balance canned, if you wanted to go that route, are 5 stars. Canned is much better for dogs that dry food, but not sure your friend’s dad would want to switch.

ParticipantGreat list Bobby Dog! 🙂
Bobby dog
MemberThanks HDM! I keep a handy word document for just such an occasion. In the past I have been able to help a few friends (pet stores and on-line ordering out of the question for some reason) make some healthier choices for their fur babies. 🙂
Hound Dog Mom
ParticipantOh just got thinking and a couple other decent foods not mentioned:
Iams Healthy Naturals Chicken and Barley (4 stars)
Iams Grain Free Naturals (3.5 stars)Cyndi
MemberBobby dog, interesting picture! Lol! Cute butt! 😉
Bobby dog
MemberThanks Cyndi, it’s one of my fav’s of Bobby. It reminds me of how much fun he is. He is always on the go and many pictures I take of him are of a body part. He always has something to sniff, a Frisbee to catch, or something to chase; he is a very busy dog! lol
Cyndi
MemberLol! Sounds like the ferrets I used to have. I could never get a good pic of them together. They were always on the go and getting into stuff. Bobby does sound like fun! 🙂
That’s Pooh, and Tigger is behind him, but she was next to him when I went to take the pic, lol!
