What Do U Feed Your Dogs?

[PaddyForever]

For kibble we give Kyojin ProPlan Puppy Large Breed. We also add a variety of other things to his kibble, such as: raw meat, bones, tuna, natural yoghurt, garlic, chicken stock, frozen veges, grated veges, rice, pasta, egg etc.

This sounds like the menu for our dogs, except that we use Supercoat Puppy dryfood, and then Supercoat or Cobber adult food. Many members of the G.R.C.V. have a policy of not feeding over 20% protein after approx 6 months of age, being wary of accelerated growth...Also, many of us are aware that there seems some link between preservatives, esp in tinned food, and canine cancers. We ourselves are fans of Nature's Gift, and of Four Legs products, of raw bones, sardines, raw eggs including crushed shell, and other 'natural' calcium sources, along with a good quality dry food. We are also contious of the fact that the new puppy owner will usually start off with the best intentions of feeding their pet the 'right' way, and then will start thinking about more economical or easier ways of feeding, and we don't want to make the diet too ridiculous sounding or expensive. I am wary of the 'super' foods, when it comes to large dogs, as I have heard of higher incidents of growth-related bone problems. In general, we have had excellent health results for our dogs, for over 16 years, and if it aint broke...
