melbournecritters Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 (edited) We have just recieved confirmation from the breeder that our new Basset pup was born on mother's day and he definately has a little girl for us so we are over the moon! I 'think' he feeds advance(we will of course confirm this in the coming weeks) and we plan to feed this initially but probably not in the long term. Our other dog(a kelpie) eats a mainly kibble (Coprice) and this brand seems to suit her really well, we always get comments on how healthy she looks. However I am aware of the special needs of different breeds and I want to make sure we do well by this pup. Being a large breed is there a barf/ raw food type diet that would suit? I personally am not that keen on advance(just personal preference) and I don't really have never ending cash to spend on super premium kibble type foods so I am just trying to weigh up our options. I am happy to add supplements, etc. if necessary as I buy alot of general purpose type supplements including a calcium supplement for my breeding birds (these are also suitable for dogs) Any advice would be great Edited May 18, 2008 by melbournecritters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alison Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Others will give you advice on what to feed and supplement, but please do not supplement with calcium. Do a search on calcium supplementation, you will find many threads on why you should never do this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
