      Science Diet small bites. I mix it with boiled chicken, sweet potato and beans for dinner. Breakfast sometimes includes blueberries and apples.

      Fromm Salmon ala veg. Both Boston terriers did very well with it. The smaller BT I put a little warm water. Makes her slow down. She eats too fast. lol

      Purina Dog Chow our Boston Terrier has eaten it for 10 years now he’s not had any problems, but he has eaten Purina Dog Pro plan from my parents house and he did okay with it too.

      I make our Bostons food. Ground turkey, organic mixed vegetables and brown rice with a little bit of kibble mixed in. Fresh batch every weekend.

      My Boston and Schitzu/Bichon are currently on Carna 4. I’ve been nervous on the raw food so I opted for the next alternative. All three dogs are doing well. We also make batches of ground turkey, lean ground beef with a variety of veges. And freeze portions to add to the dry.

      Natural Balance with warm water on it now since she is older, she was 10 last January and has always been on it! She’s doing well! Still acts like a puppy when great grands come over! Yet is very content to just be calm around me. I’m in my eighties.

      We use Nutrisource trout and brown rice formula. Our son got us started on it. Nutrisource has several varieties, including puppy food and cat food.

      I just switched mine to Gentle Giants salmon kibble and they’re doing great. I have to soften it for my 11 year old Boston with some of their wet food.

      Raw food. My bostons health changes were so dramatic by switching to whole raw foods. If not raw then a cooked whole foods diet is best. A vet nutritionist can help create recipes. ALL Kibble or canned wet food is horrible. Will never feed kibble or canned wet food to any dogs that I have moving forward.

      NULO Freestyle brand. Main ingredient is meat and no preservatives. Freestyle means that you can change a flavor anytime without taking time to transition. My Boston loves it and is thriving on the turkey and sweet potato.

      I feed a variety: homemade, air dried beef or lamb (Ziwi or Pets Table), canned lamb (Ziwi), freeze dried raw (Stella and Chewy’s), plus liver treats.

      Earthborn Holistic brand “unrefined smoked salmon with ancient grains” formula. It’s a dry dog food, after using it for a while I had sent a screenshot of the label (not showing brand) and a pet nutritionist said it was a high quality dog food.

      Mine has done well in Zignature. We rotate the proteins and they have several flavors.
