What is a healthy, inexpensive dog food for my dogs?

I have 5 dogs, and I have been feeding them Blue Buffalo canned dog foods along with Blue Buffalo dry foods. The food is rather expensive though, and I can no longer afford to pay so much for their food. I do not want to feed them a crappy low quality food with fillers and by-products, but I cannot afford to buy them the absolute healthiest of foods. What would be a good food to feed them that won't break my bank?|||Taste of the Wild


Origen


are two that I recommed. Though they seem expensive, you feed less of it to your dog.


If you want the healthy stuff, you're gonna have to pay for it. May be find a home for one dog, and that will save you money.|||Kirkland's Lamb and Rice Kibble. You can find it at Costco. It is a pretty good food and a 40-lb. bag ranges from $19-$23 depending on where you live.

every month they give out in the news letter a coupon for 3 bucks off the dry foood and 1 dollar off canned food and some treats too





my dogs love it n doing great on it








go to the site to join the news letter





they also have a twitter and facebook page|||I have found a great food for my dog .. Taste of the Wild ... It is the best high quality dry food for the lowest cost.. $ 42 for a 30 lb bag.... no grain.. corn.. gluten or by products .. it gets a 6 out of 6 stars .. check out this website|||I hear Presidents Choice dog food it good, because it has no corn products!! I feed my dogs pedigree healthy vitality. They are very healthy dogs. But it does have corn as its number one ingrediant, so im thinking of switching!|||That would work.|||Don't go for gimmicky food. That food is overpriced and is just capitalizing on trends.





Also don't go for the cheapest store brand food. That food is meant for dogs of all ages(puppies to seniors) and might give you're dogs too much nutrients that they don't need.





The best is the middle road. Hill's and Royal Canin make the best food because they scientifically test all of it and are animal diet specialists. Iams isn't too far off either. The first two can only be purchased at the vet.





I feed my pets at home, science diet and prescription diet by Hill's|||Hands Down!: Pedigree is the dog food you need!
