First time puppy owner-Food

[colin39]

We us wainwrights or royal canin for our bulldog. How ever on the raw food subject, a lady along the road from us has a st bernard (wow hes a big dog) anyway he was eating 3 big tins of winalot a day, and alway looked ok. She swapped him out at the start of the year to a raw diet, and he is eating half the amount, leaving half the mess he used to when being walked and looks amazing.
I would like to try our bulldog on it but im not convincing wifey.

I tend to use step up to naturals, wainwright’s or Harrington’s wheat fee dry food.
He’s not fussy, and gets given plenty of meat (cooked), eggs and rice and veggies, so it’s really just a base.
When you bring the little one home though best to keep them on what they are being fed

We also feed raw, we use Bella and duke. But we did have to buy him his own freezer, it’s cheaper the more you buy so we stock up. He Does really well on it.

We use Royal Canin for our GSD. We use the GSD puppy version as that's what she had at the breeders.

We use Millie’s Wolfheart countryside mix or obedience mix for our cocker spaniel. He loves it and we’ve never had any stomach issues at all with him.

My boy is raw fed and always has been.

My partners mother bulk buys as she has 3 x GSD and I just get a weeks supply at a time off her. Take it out of the freezer six hours before he's due his feed and mix in a cup full of veg. It's very rare that he doesn't clean his bowl out.

Very little out of the back end considering he's a big dog and I don't get to blame him for the occasional bad smell that wafts around the living room.

Ah yes sorry I forgot to add about the positive side of raw feeding for owners! As the food is natural their poo is halved, more solid (so stops ≈≈≈≈ gland issues) and doesn’t tend to smell. It was a game changer for me!

That’ really unusual with raw as it’s known to stop their terrible wind, certainly did for ours! We hate it when he has to have standard food for short periods as he gases us out

Our have a mix of wet and dry - half a tin of wet at dinner, then dry both times.
We give them Tails dry food, It’s delivered to our door monthly, and the dogs love it! It’s about £40 per month for the pair of ours (collie and lurcher) and you get a handy scoop that gives them the perfect amount of food! Pm me if you want a code to try it.
