Always dry dog food.
We get good brand name dry dogfood for cheap. Say, 50lb bag for 4 bucks. We stock up on the sales, again, using coupons and stores that double them makes it more affordable.
I am not much on the wet, as dogs need to chew to clean their teeth.
The only table food that I will give the mutts is meat. Now my wife, another story.
One of, no not one of, the best pup I ever had was a Chow. Ashley, she passed away about 6 years back. People don't realize the versitility of chows. They can be apartment dogs, yard dogs, farm dogs, hunting dogs, retrievers (which my dog refused) and she was scary smart.
She was a great squirrel, rabbit, deer, dog. She could stay out in the coldest of Md. winterss, but was just as cozy by the fire in the condo for long periods of time. After the first marriage went to crap, I walked out the door with my guns, and my dog. We almost went to court, over the dog.
After that, we started running. She was the best friend. I remember the winter storm of March 93 down here in Ga. Two foot of snow. It started snowing Friday late morning, and continued all day. After work, it was still snowing, so I grabbed Ashley and we went to the Life College park that connected with another park. No one was there, so I let her off lead. Most times I would not do that, not because she was mean, just because people have this perception about chows. Now, you do me wrong, she would eat you up.
Well, we ran our three miles in the blizzard snow, her long hair got coated with ice and she looked like a small snow monster.
I miss her.
