I feed my ASFs dog food and they feed on it just fine. I feed them out of a large glass dish and they empty it out in no time (no, they aren't hiding it in the bedding). And they are growing and breeding just fine.
The food is just the basic store brand Adult dog food. "Always Save Adult Dog" actually, if you have any place that sells Always Save stuff out there.
I really just sorted through the dog foods to find what had the right nutrients in them. Min. 16% protein is a good starter. Too much protein and they don't like the taste (which is probably why they won't eat more expensive dog food) and it will give them "hot spots" where they will get itchy and lose some fur. I'll get more information on the food when I go shopping tomorrow.
