Currently Ruby is on Nutro Max Puppy food. I am aware that it is not the best food out there, but from checking ingredient lists it is as good as any of the other puppy foods in that store. It is going to be a while before I can get to another store to check out what they have, because of car trouble.
So, what would you recommend adding, if anything, to her meals to make them better for her? She is not having any problems, her coat is soft and shiny, her skin is not dry and she has plenty of energy, I just want to be sure I am doing the best I can for her.
The only thing I do at the moment is add some of the juice from ground beef, when draining the meat after I cook it and before I add anything else to it. I add enough to coat her dry food, and she loves it! She also gets a little of the cooked meat. This is at most twice a week. I think that is what has helped most with the dry skin/dandruff she had when we got her, her coat feels silky soft now.
Would she be better with some of the raw beef instead of/as well as the cooked meat? Is raw chicken a problem all like it is with humans? I have never fed raw in any form, except as bones to our old dog, and she was never that bothered about them... She would chew for a little while, then abandon it and never look back. She didn't even bother to bury them, just chewed it a little then ignored it until we cleared it up for her
Also, tinned fish in oil? Are the bones in any tinned fish a problem for dogs?
