DOG FOOD

I've been talking to a a lady that has both EBs and Frenchies.  She feeds Diamond Naturals and she has not as any skin issues or health issues with them. 

I've looked up this food and I'm not sure about it - My current EB eats Grain Free because I heard it was better for EB.  

Your thoughts on Diamond Naturals???

Grain free is best...

I haven't seen the food you mentioned, but if it has rice or oatmeal, I wouldn't feed it.

raw

reading alot about raw but how would you go about it what to feed how much and where to get it  bear in mind i live in ireland and i might not have the same sorces as you have meat in the supermarket is very expencive at the moment we pay 80 euros a month for his bag of food would feeding him raw cost more than that.

do you have butcher shops?

most of us go to a butcher...their much more willing to deal in their prices when they know were coming every month.....do you have local farms that do their own butchering.....6 bulldogs cost an average 180$ a montthe  depending on how much i buy....the bigger amounts or the more lbs it is cheaper....start with chicken...least expensive meat....

the ratio is 80% meat 10% bone 10% organ.....when you first start out it is a little expensive but as you start looking you find better deals....

its about 2% body weight you feed...so my 56 lb bullie gets 2 lbs a day....

Went back on Org. food

I took the Blue Wilderness Chicken Healthy weight and back put Bailey back on Taste of the Wild - Buff/Ven  she never has problems on it but she just needed more fiber because sometime she'll strain to use the bathroom.  I'll problem just but some green beans or sweet pot. in with her food.  The doc also said I can use Dualax - one pill in the morning.   I also bought some Vetericyn and sprayed her down.

Is this what you were feeding?

Did you have any issues while on TOTW?

TOTW

The only issues we had with TOTW  was it making her have hard stool but now I just add a little oil and water to her kibble.
