Re: What to Feed Pup

What to feed is interesting. I always think if the teeth are good the coat is shiny and the dog has energy and is not overweight and the poos are firm and not copious then the diet is okay.

My first dog - and I had no experience with dog food, well she spent her whole life on pedigree kibble and canned food because I thought it was good food. She lived till nearly 18, full of energy and a shiny coat and cost me less in vet bills than any dog I have had since. Second dog was similar.

These days I feed quite a lot of raw but I also feed some Advance we win at agility trials, Supercoat (Australian supermarket brand of kibble) and one dog has actually done really well on Eukanuba and it was the only brand of kibble that didnt give her an upset stomach.

People at my dog club who have performance and show dogs have a range of different experiences with different brands of dog food and diets with thier dogs. Often quite conflicting, but their dogs all look great.

I like to grow my current pups slow and combine supercoat, advance or Eukanuba puppy with raw. I havnt seen Eagle pack holistic over here in Western Australia. It sounds interesting. Not really much of a choice over here.
