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

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?
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

How to add more fiber to my dogs diet?
My dog went to the vet today and we found out he has gained weight. The vet suggested feeding him less dog food and replacing what we take away with fiber. He suggested carrots and green beans. How do I add these things to his food? Do I cook them or leave them raw? And what else could I give him vegetable wise that will add fiber? He's a bit of a picky eater, we tried giving him carrots for treats before but he won't eat them. Yes, the vet told us we also need to give him more exercise. I can figure that out on my own, I just need advice on the diet part. And I'm going to listen to what the vet says, as far as adding fiber so please don't try to tell me something different than what he suggested. He's a professional and I trust his advice.Well, heart, if you weren't going to actually answer the question I asked instead of putting something ridiculous that I didn't even ask about, you should've refrained yourself from typing. And I am not " blindly following" his advice, he has been our vet for 7 years, and has gotten us through countless situations with our old dog who lived to be 16 and our new dog, who is now 4. You're not a Top Contributor in the Dog Section, so why should I follow your advice when most of the other answers support my question?
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.
