You didn't answer, in all your fantastically witty replies, why not feed raw meat to the dog every day.

Nobody said un-pureed vegetables were dangerous for dogs, but they have no nutritional value as the dog cannot grind them up to get the goodness out of them.

Not everyone can afford expensive dog food, but if someone is asking about Lidl food i personally wouldnt recommend it, but if its the best you can afford then its better to feed that then let the dog go hungry.

Obviously. Im not exactly eating caviar myself. People do need to accept that they are dogs though, not little furry children. Anyway, different thread I suppose.

Thats your opinion on the matter. Dogs are companion therefore to me there very significant part of my life and dont see them as "just dogs".:)

Not certain here, but you sure its puree it needs or vegetation digestion, for e.g. wild dogs etc only get the vegetation from eatign the inside of its prey stomach.

For example, my fella barley chews (which i hate as can lead to health implications) and the veg has done before just come out the other side as went in.

Wild dogs get the vegetation from the prey's stomach, and the prey are herbivores which have different teeth, can move their jaws sideways, so can crush the cell walls of the vegetative matter, so when the dog eats it from the stomach, it has been crushed and the goodness released. Of course, instead of pureeing it, you could always chew it yourself for your dog:D;)

Jayo11 I can understand what she means by knowing her dogs love it, When you love dogs, you develop your own language and understanding of each other better. The language isnt all talk or telepathic....its behaviour, body language, mood etc..

Also i said McDonalds to imply just because someone likes something doesnt mean its good, I like Alcohol....and sure as hell aint good for me. ha. In moderation possibly.

I recon its all Mularky unlesss your need a specialised food with high protein or low richness to meet a dogs needs / lifestyle

This food is used for greyhounds but recommended for all dogs due to its content and balance...The difference in my dogs, coat, mood, toilet pattern, energy.....everything!:)I highly recommend it, even taste it yourself.

My dog has a tendancy to put on weight easily. Do you think that Gain would still be ok? Is the fat/protein level ok?

Fat level is very low in my GAIN "Record Breaker" and protein high, however just feed your dog less of this as theres alot in it.

I would not feed this to your dog if it puts on weight easily. This food is designed for racing greyhounds as they have a high energy level so need more protein to give them energy, but if you feed such to a dog who has a low energy level like your dog, then it will cause it to put on weight as its not using up the protein.
Also high protein can make them bit hyper so i wouldnt recommend feeding it.

Gain do a range called Gain Big dog and have a senior one which has lower fat content so might suit your dog.

Someone else, earlier in the thread mentioned Gain for retired greyhounds, which only has 20% protein, so if you look at their full range, you should be able to find one that suits your dog. Gain, Red Mills and other greyhound foods will be cheaper than other foods because it has lower VAT payable on it. If you shop up north, you will get the working dog foods at 0% VAT, but it is just reduced in the South.

No its just a demanding industry so they specialise it for Greyhoud health and sport.

My lab/rott on it. Its unreal!:)

Majority of people couldnt give crap what they feed their dog unfortunatley where people racing grey hounds are driven by money so therefore theyll use the best and make certain is of good quality.

I got the adult complete food in the end. 21% protein and 10% oil

Fingers crossed he does not gain weight

EDIT: Just looked at the Royal Canin Netuered, which was what he was on, and that was 28% protein and 11% fat. Seem fairly close to each other?
