gsd diet wats best.

hi there i was just wondering what you all fed your gsd on and do you stick to the same foods, i keep getting told different things,help.

Everyone has different oppinions hun it depends on what works for them

My boy was a little bugger, his breeder had him on Royal canin, she gave us a 15kg bag to come home with, he would hardly touch it, then I put him on RAW, he did Ok but was quite thin, Lynne on here told me about Skinners, he does ok on that, but if he goes to my friends house who feeds Bakers he is at the food bowl, he adores it and goes sniffing for the bag he won't look at Burns or anything else that's expensive

Marley and Kala are both on arden grange lamb and rice and do great on that

thanks sandra i know its hard tia is a sod for been picky but ive started lifting her food if she dont eat it its worked cos now wen i put it dwn she eats but theve been on bakers, beta puppy and arden grange just wondered if one beta than other. cheers anyway.

thanks judes how long did your 15kg bag last for them both. i feed them both it last a fortnight i wondered if i was feeding them too much.

mine lasts about 18 days, they get 200gms in the morning and 200gms at tea time ( I use the arden grange measuring cup)because they get a bonio in the morning when i leave for work and a dental sticks at bedtime and treats during the day. They also get tuna or sardines in sunflower oil 3 times a week

Keira is on half Arden Grange and half RAW Mickey is on all RAW

Little sods want each others tho Mickey loves Arden Grange but i dont let him have it as it sends him hyper or shall i say more hyper than normal and Keira prefers RAW but gets constipated when she eats only RAW

I think Arden Grange is an excellent food Ive tried Keira on most foods but always go back to AG

Mine also get tuna every so often Their treats consist of small hide twists which they steal from the kitchen cupboard whenever its opened
£2 for 50 from wilko

Arden Grange measuring cup where did you get that from Ive never seen one when i but the food

my 3 are on raw food now they used to be on tinned food and biscuits, i thought they were ok on that really but with 3 big dogs it got to be too expensive so i put them on raw. my god the difference in them is brilliant.
Bailey has gained weight at last, Tilly was a bit picky but she eats all her dinner now, Shady is just a big fat slug and has'nt known what tinned food is anyway she will eat her own and more if i let her. but as Sandra sais all dogs are different

Skinners duck and rice for my 2,
They both do very well on it

Bren... i ordered a measuring cup direct from the arden grange website, this was a couple of years ago when i fed AG, worth having a look to see if they still do it

Cheers Lynne will have a look

used to give mine arden grange which is really good,now my shep on royal cannin n other2 on james welbeloved which is really good

I got some measuring cups from crufts last year fron the arden grange stand, if I get there this year I will get some more and send you one Bren

i have my adults on wonderdog, it's dustfree, added glucosamine cronadin and codliver oil, they have that in the morning and tripe, chicken wings or fish on a evening, rea is on wainrights puppy , tripe chicken wings and when it comes to fish like sardines small mackerel she's like a seal straight down no messing,

I feed Viva Arden Grange lamb and rice and she also has some James wellbeloved wet mixed in, she stopped eating a while ago so I used the wet to tempt her to eat it and it worked, she loves it so I kept her on it but she only has half a sachet in the mornig and half in the evening.
She used to have royal canin sensitive when I first got her from the police but it made her bounce off the walls so someone recommended Argen grange and she changed so much, she calmed down alot, her coat became shiner, it was like a different dog and I'm not sure if it's linked but her chewing when I was out calmed down and she finally stopped chewing completely.

Bouncing off the walls thats what Mickey is like on Arden Grange

I really wish he was ok on it because he loves it on the odd occasion he has sneaked a mouthful of Keiras

Both mine are playing up with their food atm being fussy so ive chucked todays food in the bin this morning

Im hoping theyll be really hungry later so will eat their food with no fuss

Thanks Jude im going to crufts so will have a look while im there

If you go to the Arden grange stand and ask for a measuring cup they didnt have them on display.

Mine is on Raw, he's been fed raw since about 9 months and he's now nearly 8. He eats a variety of things, tinned sardines/pilchards, raw eggs, natural yoghurt, garlic, cottage cheese, chicken wings, tripe, chicken, lamb, beef, liver, plus supplements -organic apple cider vinegar, keepers mix, fish body oil, vit E.

He does well on this and has had no problems, the end product (being polite!) is much smaller and firmer on a raw diet. There shouldn't be any constipation, if there is it is because there is too much bone in the diet and you need to cut back on the bone and include more meat.
