Dog Food

[Dave S]

I started my pups on Eukanuba, but they developed exema (spell check?) and their stools were very runny, with repeated flatulance, then we switched to good old Pedigree, their stools were bigger and more firm, their farting stopped and they're in good nick again.

Also, the method we use to feed is not what normally happens, we don't feed at a given time/quantity, we just fill their bowls when they are empty and the dogs snack throughout the day so they never get to the stage where they are hungry, caution, if you go this route, it must be from when they are pups to supress the instinct to eat all their food in one sitting.

I find from experience that they don't become overweight using this method and they seem to be much happier and they don't beg for as many titbits. We have used this method with all our dogs (2xFox terriers from pups died at ages 12-yrs and 16-yrs, liver cancer and heart failure respectively). Currently we have 2x Jack Russels, from pups they are now 4-yrs (Dam), and 2-yrs (Sire).

My dogs get Montego senior. The one dog (staffie cross) started having problem with his joints at an early age (3/4 years old) and the added glussamen (sp?) really helps. It's the first time I have every seen a change in diet physically doing something and made me really think about what I eat.

I have no problem giving my dogs chicken bones from store bought/ KFC chickens. These chickens are around 3 months old an the bones are very soft and do not splinter. Even my little 4kg girl wolfs down leg bones with ease.

Our dogs have food 24/7. Our dogs do regulate what they eat, the girl is on the skinny side and boy is slightly over weight - but certainly not in a dangerous way. Means we do not have to be back for meal times and we can leave them for 24hr in the garage/house if need be.

Due to dog theft and poisoning our dogs have never spent a night outside or day if we not there. For security dogs are better indoors anyway.

I agree, started my 9 year old boerboel on Montego Senior, the added Glucosamine and Chondroitin made a huge noticeable difference in her movement.

Sadly she past away last month at 12 years old from cancer

Was very traumatic for our family

May be you can try Hills. My dogs like it.

Have 3 Great Danes. Have bred them in the past. Have tried many, many foods and was very concerned about reports of saw dust being used as a bulking agent. Finally found Jock Multistage, the answer to our concerns. Energy...coat shine...wet cold noses. Could not wish for more!

In Germany I used "Mac's" dry food. My Dog loved it.

Can anyone remember the name of the dog food that was created\manufactured by a couple from Durban a few years back and predominantly sold in kzn?
