I’m so sorry haleycookie , I seem to have offended you,
maybe the dog who got cancer could not handle high protein foods, I just thought I would pass along the information
because I found it so interesting ,

[Alice B]

Yes the ground bone is likely the cause of hard poop problems
I got caught up in the idea of rotating foods & raw foods for dogs, this practice is written about on a few forums I’ve read,
it doesn’t seem to agree with my dogs digestion

Maybe large dogs can cope with this style of diet better than toy breeds ?

We went for a Vet check-up, both dogs are healthy & perfect weight, So happy with that outcome,
When I discussed what the feeding plan I had been trying was, the Vet just said ” oh dear, PLEASE stick with Royal Canin”

[Alice B]

I was talking with a lady on our walk, about her dogs & dog food
Her last dog was fed Orijen, Wellness, Acana, all very high protein foods, & died of cancer at age 5 years old!

Now with her new pup, she is feeding Pro plan as her Vet has suggested & hopes the pup has a much longer lifespan

[Alice B]

Wow, this is so interesting!
FrostHollow have you come up with any conclusions?

The cost of freeze dried foods or raw meat is certainly more expensive than kibble, & my little boys seem better on Royal Canin than raw foods

Both boys use to eat Wellness kibble, my Vet suggested Royal Canin for them both & they love it much more

[Alice B]

The dogs everyday diet is Royal Canin for mini dogs, they are fine on this with no poop problems

when I fed K9 Natural freeze dried I added lots of warm water & even then they had nugget poops

Both boys eat 2 meals a day, I think they drink plenty of water, I clean & refill their water bowl each day
Thanks

Oh dear, Anita how is your little guy doing, is he ok?

I tried my 2 Yorkie boys on chicken wings & every time they would vomit 30 – 60 minutes after, No more bones for them
I use to worry about the bones in their throat & belly!

[Alice B]

That is very interesting about giant dogs growth plates & hormones,

Kathie the DCM issue is a very tiny % of dogs affected, I think Wellness make great foods

[Alice B]

I see Acana has a lot of Legumes, maybe your dog is getting a load of toxins from them,
How is he doing on the raw now?

[Alice B]

Which food are you talking about

[Alice B]

Thank you both Susan & Sanne for your advice, I will follow up on those websites, I have been using fish oil capsules for 5 years I don’t think they are helping much anymore

[Alice B]

Sanne can a 65 year old lady take the CBD oil for my arthritis, I need some help finding out

[Alice B]

Does anyone know if Wellness complete health Turkey & Oatmeal Small Breed kibble is safe from toxins, Can I feed Small Breed kibble every day

[Alice B]

Thank you, dear, your very kind xx Both of my sweet little boys are very healthy & love my meal plan at this time I will keep them on Wellness core puppy until they are 1 year old, lots of fun playing now.

[Alice B]

I love the Yorkie Talk page thankyou anon101 for that link, it’s really interesting

[Alice B]

These 2 Yorkies are the first dogs I have owned in my life, that’s why I need any advice

[Alice B]

@Acroyali Thanks for the great information
I needed company after my lovely husband passed away last year,
So I now have great company in my little Yorkies, lots of fun for me & keeps me busy

Both puppies love eating, I will keep portions small, I want to keep both guys healthy
I’m feeding the boys Wellness core puppy food, 4 small meals a day

[Alice B]

Do you agree with free feeding from a bowl of kibble, left down all day
I am home all day so i can have any routine that would help my 2 little boys

I have also heard dogs can vomit bile if their tummy is empty, how horrible for those dogs

Then some people say FAST your dog one day a week, I don’t know how that would be good
I would like advice on how people with small dogs plan a meal routine, & space meals apart
Thanks for all advice
