I know this can be a bit of a Ford vs Chevy vs Mopar but what is your dog food of choice and why? looking to change brands for our house dog. Lost my hunting partner a couple months ago. My lab had major skin issues so we had her on an expensive food in a attempt to help (some results but not perfect) The house dog (King Charles) has no issues so I am looking to change. Also, thinking that we will be in the market for a new Lab in the next few months so looking for something that will work for both after the puppy stage.

I,m a believer in Purina Products. Present CLF is on Purina One Skin & Coat Formula. She has Hypo Thyroid condition causing her coat to thin and Medication and the Fish Formula in the Purina has corrected it completely. Shes presently 7+ years old. Past 2 Retrievers I've owned ,both living to 13 with no health issues, were fed Purina Pro Plan after 6 months of age and started on Puppy Chow as present retriever was.
 
I’m feeding inukshuk , it’s a great product recommended to me by a couple of friends who are professionals. Takes very little food daily, poops are small and not that smelly.
 
I was feeding Inukshuk and I liked it, easy to get from Chewy... then my guy decided he didnt like it anymore and rather than adding cheese or whatever I switched to Purina ProPlan and he is happily eating that and doing fine.
ProPlan was giving free samples at my UKC Hunt tests so I had it to try....
 
Purina one for me. All my dogs love it. I did proplan for awhile but surprisingly my lab got picky on the pro plan. Went back to the cheaper purina one, chicken or lamb and rice, and she gobbles it up. This lab is very special though, she doesnt like to be inside the house with us either, and her personality is as quirky as ever. Ill likely feed all my pooches some form of purina until they give me a reason not to.

I went to the older dog blend for my last lab when she got around 9ish years old. I could tell it helped her quite a bit as well.
 
After many years of feeding purina pro plan performance, we switched our two labs to Inukshuk last year and have been very happy.

Less food required and cheaper than Purina.
 
Eukanuba performance for my lab and Chessie.
That was the only food that would keep weight on my yellow lab when we lived out west .. run 2-3 miles daily and spend every Wednesday and Every other weekend chasing grouse and ducks. My 67 lab got down to 53 lbs on Purina and he literally couldn’t eat enough.
Eukanuba got him back up to 57
