To follow up on what Susan wrote above, when my (now 4.5 year old) Vizsla was a pup, we fell in with an informal group of fellow dog owners who met up almost daily in what we called our “puppy club.”
Although our meet-ups are far less frequent than they used to be, we still get together from time to time.
The way my dog has aged vs his classmates is quite obvious to all. He is the only one who is raw fed (and has been since he was 8 weeks old).
You get better teeth, better coat, less body-fat, more muscle, and gleaming vitality. The differences in condition are not subtle.
