best food

[alza]

hi everyone i am feeding kye hills science plan.is this food anygood.i am also adding some chicken breast to his food raw...
i also heard fish was good too..alza

[southern-staffords]

As long as what you are feeding is keeping your pup full of energy and his bowels regular then it's good. A remark that i have read stuck in my head. You only get out of a dog with what you put in..

[ragingstormkennels]

Hi Alza and Lee
I have found Eukanuba with a tea spoon of cod liver oil the best dog food for my girls. You may want to try Kye on that.
My girls are full of energy and have excellent coats.

Abbey has kibble anyone else feed kibble ?

[duffy]

if it is not broke then it don't need fixing.if something is working fine then you do not have a problem.

I feed Lennox Scrambled eggs for breakfast with a small handfull of Eukanuba, Then dinner time he gets two handfulls of Eukanuba, then when i get in from work about 5ish he gets 1 handfull of Eukanuba and some Liver or chicken or tripe or beef or rabbit etc etc..

[cadgi]

does anybody give their dog's abidec,i have found this to be excellent for both bringing on pup's and older dog's?

[dog]

I've not used it, I hope I haven't got my wires crossed, do you mean this? www.abidec.com . I've heard it said that you can't overdose vitamins but that's not true, you can get vitamin poisoning, this would appear to be easier to dose correctly than the tablets designed for adults.

[cadgi]

yes that's the one,i use the drop's,place a drop on a small piece of brown bread,alot of greyhound boy's this way use it,i've found it work's,i just feed barf diet with added natural yoghurt,sardine's,egg's,i starve the dog at least one day a w/k,and for at least two day's a w/k they feed off the spring.

[Shakka-Staffs]

Both Abbey and Rameses are on Austrailian formula greyhound food and have been off the james welnotloved kibble for a few months now.
Im very pleased with the food and the way the dogs look with it. It has all the vits except b,b12 which they get from desicated liver tablets i add to it along with evening primrose oil and cod liver oil.

hi shakka i am going to change kye's food he has been on james wellbeloved food..for a while now!!can i ask why you changed from jw food

[dog]

I used to use James wellbeloved but when they were bought out by Pedigree they changed the formula and alot of people (including myself) had problems with their dogs getting the runs, it's also ****** expensive. I use Australian formula now as well, it's about half the price of James Wellbeloved and very good quality. I've heard that Eukanuba and Hill's nature's diet are good too but they are expensive.

There are alot of dried foods but it's hard to know which ones are best because you don't get a detailed list of ingredients so you can avoid the ones with lots of cereal fillers like maize.

[alza]

hi dog thanx for the info i am going to order some of this dry food tomorrow as it sounds pretty good..and it even lists all the ingredients..here's the site..alza

I really do think its important to get feed right. When i first brought Bob to the shows he was training hard but over weight cos he was fed incorrectly. Anyone who trains knows you can train all day long, but without the correct diet you wont improve or look the part. Kibble in mst cases contains bulking ingredients that are not natural, however hill natures best and others dont contain these. They dont have a high protien level so i mix raw mixed meats and fat. The fats are important as thats your fuel and the protien is you muscle builder. Vitamin supplements should be of a childs dose, omega oils and cod liver oils, etc aid joints and coat.

[Shakka-Staffs]

alza advice from the others on the forum stopped me feeding james well-not-loved the protien wasnt high enough for starters and dog told me of the change in ingredients im happy with the way my dogs look on it, it costs half than JwB per 15 kilo's and in my opinion smells more too which again imo is more appetizing for them. Its kinda hard to get hold of though. Dog very kindly gets ours for us.

That looks like good stuff, the meat content is very high but so it should be at that price!

[neilsherlock]

well that does seem to be the best kibble ive seen, and you pay for what you get! How high is the protien content?

[neilsherlock]

just reading the protien, thats thae dogs daglies, hope you get on well with it.

[alza]

i didnt no James wellbeloved ..was taken over by pedagree..shocking..but anyway i am looking for a new dry food for kye..i did go to my local butcher for mixed meats which i got really cheap..but i didnt feed it to kye raw i boiled it..lol..and it was too rich for him gave him the runs big time..lol..do you think i should get mixed meats & feed it too kye raw...

[martinl]

My butchers does something called Pet mince.. maybe youre will? just ask

we get that and some bones for £1.85p last a week... we also got someblocks of frozen minced rabbit,tripe,liver,fish,chicken(not mixxed to gether) we cut it up to squares(while its still frozen) then stick it back in the freezer and remove the night be for. and we feed with Eukanuba, it took awhile to get him on it but he wil eat it on his own.. just dont change str8 away, try to dakker of with the old stuff a little bit at a time..

[Jessica]

We have ours on Eukanbua working dog - its really good, Poppy and Butch are very active and its the only food that can keep weight on them.
The pups are on Pro plan - its not to high protein - we try and keep them on an average amount of protien so not to cause any growth probs - but the pro plan is great for - they will go on eukanuba WD at 12 months.

[cadgi]

i think i've mention'd it before but the best kibble i've come across(load's of my friend's with working dogs/lurcher's)use C.S.J.-Cp extra,now i don't want to upset anyone but no bull terrier work's as hard,or is put under stress(physically)like a hard worked lurcher/longdog,this food keep's their weight on night after night and the dog's are looking spot on all year round.i've lost the web address but the tel no:01745710470.i've seen this food work and think it's worth a look,price is£20 a bag i think,they do an whole range from puppies up to adult dog's.hope this help's cheer's lyndon.


*EDIT* Hope you don't mind Cadgi, I thought I'd add a link the their website.... www.csjk9.com

[Shakka-Staffs]

[mbb]

[blackstaff]

I have been feeding Orijen for a couple of week's now and i have seen a change in Doll's. I used to feed Australian formula and it was good,but a change is alway's worth a try right ? She has now put on a little weight which i wanted and couldn't get from the Australian. She has a little more energy than she used to,but i have fed slightly over the recommended level's to get some weight on her. So far so good, will keep you posted
