What are you feeding your dog?
#33
RE: What are you feeding your dog?
Everyone forgets that, in the wild, dogs eat the contents of the stomach and intestines of their prey also - mostly grain and veggies/greens. They also eat the bones, including fatty marrow.

When I was breeding and training police canines, I fed high protein or raw diets or a mix. These dogs were athletes and very active.

Now, that I have pets who are a bunch of lazy bums except for when they get the occasional "zoomies", I rotate all kinds of dog food. I started doing this because I have had several Great Danes now, and while I have been lucky with this so far, they are very prone to react with allergies and digestive disorders to changes in food. So, I feed my Danes all kinds of food from little on. Never had an issue, and never had a dog not be happy and excited about their food, whatever brand/composition it is that day.

When I was a kid, we had a Schnauzer. Mom cooked beef liver and rice for him every day. He lived to be 17 and was active to his last day. He occasionally ate a piece of carrot or cucumber.

I'm a lot more worried about treats - there seem to be all kinds of issues with them. I just feed raw bones or bully sticks now as treats. They last longer and seem healthier.
