Advice on dog diet/health?
Looking for some advice here, albeit I have flagged this up with a vet before, he didn't actually tell me anything Have a 5 yr old male staff. Good weight, good general health.For well over a year, been feeding him a dried complete food I was told plain old Chappie was better than many.However, every so often, and there can be spaces of many weeks in between, then sometimes three times in one week, this is what will happen.I will feed him at say 10am.As late as 7pm that evening, he will literally bring up the pile of dried food. There is no blood in it or such, however, what often surprises me is that the bits of food are not even digested, you would think that after that length of time, they would have been digested.It is as if this food sometimes sits in his stomach, doesn't properly digest, so it eventually thrown back up, some nine hours later.He last did it three days ago, and as a temp measure, I have taken him off the chappie, and given him chicken and rice.But I know that he cannot go on getting that, can he, albeit he never recycles that hours later.Any ideas as to what this could be, or what he might be able to eat better?
Healthy dog diet question?
For my dog, I like to mix in a few raw healthy foods in with his high quality kibble. I usually put in a tiny bit of diced cheese, a spoon of peanut butter, a few small banana slices, some diced up baby carrots, and some blueberries. i always put everything in very small amounts. for blueberries, id put 8. i put dice only 2 baby carrots. I use the slices of cheese i buy from giant that i use in my sandwich, and i dice one slice into small pieces. my vet said this was a perfectly nice diet. but i wat your opinion do u guys suggest i add more of what i already give, or completely take away something? and i was wondering, what else could i mix into my doggy's food? maybe i should switch it up a little. So what healthy, doggy edible foods can i add to my doggy's kibble? I was thinking maybe a spoon of RAW ground pork a day, is that ok too?please tell me some other foods and what quantity i have a pembroke welsh corgi, i give her a little less than the amount my kibble bag says to give her breeder said so thanksss

What do you think of this dog diet plan?
wanting to come up with a diet for a sighthound i havent decided which breed yet, but ive been to dog shows i am thinking ibizan or pharaoh hound...i'm very active and have plenty of time for the dog and a big fence.well i'm reading a book that recommends a certain amount of calories to get a particular weight and maintain it, also it factors in energy level.it recommends a balanced meal as Meat and vegetables the following are foods that can be used ground meatpastaheartlivercarrotscabbageapplesbannasstrawberriesblack berrierschickenfishboiled rice for dogs with delicate stomachs as a side in with the main food wheat cereal with non lactose milk you can buy lactose free milk, it's the lactose that upsets the dogs cooked scrambled eggs.booked even as an analysis of fresh meats and calories per oz so that you can maintain weight with the dog and see what you need to add or subtract from the diet to get the best results. factors in moisture content, protein & fat Dfor instance it recommends that a 33LB dog thats dieting eat 600 calories rather than 1000 which is the normal requirement but this drop should be done gradually due to every dogs different activity level. i was thinking i could use this with my own dog to add or take away calories when he needs to gain or lose weight. it seems to be a Raw Diet but so few RAW websites ive seen have given me such great details.i was studying and dogs DO actually convert vegetables into ingredients necessary for bodily functions by converting the fat and protein.your thoughts on this diet? do not be rude or insulting i just want opinions not insults or cursing or foul languagebook title for any interested is " the complete illustrated guide to dog care & behavior" by Bruce Fogle D.V.M

Is it good to add a little bit of cottage cheese to my pregnant dogs diet?
I know about not over feeding her calcium, im also not giving her any extra supplements, shes on a Royal Cannin 'Mother and babydog' diet, deigned for pregnant and lactating mothers and for weaning the pups. Its also specially designed for her breed type Jack russell. So, is it ok to give her a little bit of cottage cheese occasionally to her meals shes 5 nearly 6 weeks prego also i heard about given boiled eggs to her? I just don't understand, if im not to give her any barley any calcium till after her puppies are born, whats the cottage cheese thing all about because it obviously has got calcium in it as it is a cheese, and im pretty sure all cheeses have a fair amount of calcium in them... thanks.
I just changed my dogs diet to Avoderm 2-3 weeks ago, and now he has really frequent bad gas. will this last?
I was told avoderm is a good brand of dog food with no " corn fillers" so i changed my dogs diet from pedigree. Now his gas is really bad and very frequent. will this continue does he need to get used to it or is the new food not sitting well with him? Thanks
Adding supplements/vitamins to working dogs diet..?
I feed Orijen Large Puppy, Orijen 6 fish and Orijen regional red mixed together. My dogs 3 year old male intact cattle dog, and 10 month old male intact border collie get 5 6 cups of food daily but are very active working dogs. They work sheep, cattle and or bison everyday. As well as do fly ball, and jog for an hour and a half every day, as well as normal stuff like fetch, tug etc. My cattle dog does PPT. I do use K9 Blue Lite and UBA Vet Plus Glucosamine HCL liquid formula. It would it be a bad idea to get some daily K9 power pill vitamins? Just for extra nutrients?I forgot to add once twice a week i give them a raw chicken thigh or something. And in hunting season, for deer, or birds. They get deer thighs, legs, and birds. Both are registered trialing dogs. The heeler has had all proper health clearances. The border collie will be having them done.
How can I add fat/calories to my dogs diet?
I have a young 1 1 2 year old black labrador. He's not castrated however I will never breed him and he's given a lot of exercise so he's very healthy, fit and active for a pet lab. Most people have problems keeping their labradors weight down, but I struggle to keep his up I used to feed him double his weights guideline amount and cut it down as I worried that as he gets older it will make him fat. However he's now too slim, his ribs are coming through slightly and I need to act now and fast to prevent more weight loss. I give him working dog food as he's so active. I was going to give him double again and some canned food three times a week with treats. What sort of treats can I give him to keep his weight up is my main question? PS He is wormed regularly, he was wormed two weeks ago and is every month as directed by vets
Why do people say grains are not a good part of a dogs diet?
My dogs eat enriched rice or pasta with meat and veggies. They are healthier more energetic beautiful coat and overall better dogs. I switched to this from top brand dog foods.The pasta noodles have iron calcium thaimine fiber and fat. So that along with meat veggies how is this bad for my dog?
Raw diet organ question ''dogs diet'' ?
When people say ''no more than 10 % of the dogs diet three times a week '' do they mean no more than what the dog eats total in a week? Like my dog eats 6 ounces a day so 6 ounces everyday in a week is 42ounces do they mean 10 % of 42ounces should be organ? meaning 4.2 ounces of organ divided by 3 ? just a little confused about thiscan anyone clear this up for me please thanks

Thank you
My dogs diet and type of food I feed him?
Okay so my dog is about 1 years old and he is definitely a picky eater. I've had dogs all my life and I've never had a dog like him. He will actually starve himself because he doesn't want to eat his dog food. I'm not kidding... he didn't eat for 2 days until I put chicken in it, then he snarfed it. I've changed his food all of the time from Iams to now its that true blue or whatever brand. It's hellish expensive and my dog hates it. Should I just start feeding him our leftovers steak, carrots, etc ? I dont have a problem doing that, but is it bad? I've heard of people putting their dogs on the caveman diet lol.
What is it in a dogs diet that gives them a shiny coat?
My dogs coat is looking a bit dull recently. I was just looking at some staffy pictures and some of them had really glossy coats. What do you need to feed them to get this result? My dog never has tinned dog food like Chappie or Pedigree. It's usually tripe, sometimes mixed with biscuits, and leftover meat and vegetables. And can i give him raw egg? Someone suggested this but i don't know if this is ok or not. Thanks
