Feeding a three yr lab

[pad58]

Here we go, we buy winaloads tins and sometimes with biscuits,but lately we stopped the
biscuits,because this made her loose ,if you know what i mean. ( a sod to pick up)

So we have just feed her on the tins.
My point. I t says on the tin to give a dog her size 5-6 tins a day WTF
I found this to be extreem to say the least,not the cost but the ammount that winaload says
is the RDA for a three yr old girl dog (stopped the censoring).

Two tins a day i think is enough to keep her lean and fit.

Whats your view on this one ,how many tins is you dog on?

Our millies a butchers dog and I often take home beef mince,chicken,lamb ,but not pork
after two days of this she will turn her nose up at it yet with the tins, she loves them.

I mean good lord fresh untinned meat ....doesn't want to know.

Ok But the problem of loose youknows ,the ones you can't pick up,would this then be a case
for the vets?
This was all to do with the biscuits .

If you haven't already try a different biscuit ones without wheat colours additives etc.

Tins 80% water but they still over estimate guidelines.

Try chappie dry (seems to suit a lot of dogs with dodge tums) mixed in with the tins (assuming you want to carry on with tins) but remember it is a complete food not a mixer so give a third of the feeding guidelines.

Hello again "dodge tums" would this have anything to do with her eating grass after her meal?

Eating grass is normally a sign that they WANT to be ill.

Not always! some dogs just like eating grass!

My mam had a corgi which ate grass as well ,me just thinking it was a normal thing a dog does
to help digestion.

Our millie in very good health, her coat is good apart from the molting,
eyes sharp,teeth hurt so it's all good,par the stools if we give her biscuits.

So maybe it's time to change the brand ?
