My german shepherd Jim, a rescue, had been a very fussy eater.
I tried every brand of dry dog food available, and
at feeding time, he would eat a bit of it, I think more
to please me than anything. He clearly was not interested.
I was worried because he became rather thin.
I believe most, if not all dry dog food is garbage.
and unhealthy, if not dangerous. Dogs with certain body
types can die from rapid ingestion of dry food and water.
I tried some different "brands" of raw diet,
without much success. A breeder recommended
a butcher that made raw dog food so I got some.
It was sold in large frozen blocks, which were sliced
to brick sized chunks. No fancy packaging.
There was beef, chicken, lamb, and other varieties,
and also dried liver treats.
Jim was like a different dog. He was eager at mealtime,
and finished everything in front of him. He filled out
beautifully, and loved the liver treats. There was no going back.
Dogs, like people are individuals. |
