Need help with dog food.
We have an English Setter who is about 9 years old. Until 4 months ago
we fed him dry dog food we got from various sources. . Science Diet. . Kibbles and Bits. He started acting very lethargic and stiff. Even winced in pain when we touched various places on his body. We took him to a vet and had every test possible but nothing showed up. Then I read in a pet news group that Kibbles and Bits had something like Hydrocloric acid that could produce the symptoms he showed. We saw numerous recommendations for GORF and my wife started making all his food from cheap meat cuts and whole grains. His health improved but he seems to have gotten much thinner. We need some kind of dry food to supplement his diet. . something with some calories that will put some weight on him. He is very active. We live in the country and he is out most of the time ranging around our land. Can you give us any recommendations for a supplemental food? |

If you're only feeding this dog meat and grains he's not getting what he needs. Why don't you join the Yahoo group K9Nutrition or at least read some books on home feeding. Your dog needs calcium and fat for starters. buglady take out the dog before replying |
