Diet What is best to use for healthy teeth, a glossy coat, strong bones, joints & muscles?

We would recommend the following:

• Natural Food is best, from Mung bean mix, with greens & meat, to white rice/pasta with white meat, Chicken/Fish (tuna can sometimes be too rich), & with vegetables.

• Dry complete food, with a tin of natural nothing artificial dog food.

• Just dry complete food on its own.

• We would not advise just mixer biscuits, or only mixer biscuits & tined food, unless specifically directed by your vet, as this on a regular basis will not provide all the vitamins, nutrients & minerals, carbohydrates or proteins, for a complete balanced diet.

What not to use:

The Nasty products, to be, nasty chemicals. And that’s that.

• Any foods with (EC Permitted colours & preservatives) these are only for the benefit of primates, who would be attracted to the bright colours, and there are many other Brands out there who do not use these nasty products, as they can lead to very painful diseases & illnesses. Such as: Kidney, bladder, skin, stomach, spleen cancer, or leukaemia, liver dysfunction, major organ failure, immune system collapse, sever allergic reactions, birth defects ,blindness, diarrhea, hair loss, behaviour issues including aggression (which could be dangerous around children)

• Foods with too much sugar as dogs do not digest the same as humans, and too much sugar can lead to health issues, (overweight, difficulty breathing etc.)

• Milk; Standard cows milk contains lactose & dogs cannot tolerate this, you may consider, Lactose Free Milk, Goats milk, or some cats milk (all usually diluted with some water).

• Chocolate: The truth is chocolate contains theobromine that is toxic to dogs in sufficient quantities. This is a xanthine compound in the same family of caffeine, and theophylline. Xanthines affect the nervous system, cardiovascular system and peripheral nerves. It has a diuretic effect as well. All diuretics increase the excretion of water from bodies. Look for these signs:

• Hyper excitability, Hyper irritability, Increased heart rate, Restlessness, Increased urination Muscle tremors, Vomiting, and Diarrhea. If you believe that your dog has ingested chocolate, and is displaying any of the above signs, then you should contact your VET, for immediate advice, & the correct treatment.
