which foods best

Any advice on which food is best, been on dry food for 6 months, but maybe this is causing hyperactivity?? any ideas which brands are a good source for them??

Dry food is best (or RAW) which food are u feeding him currently as a low quality cheap food can definatley cause hyperactivity (more than usual anyway lol) If u go into the health and nutrition section u will see a list of recommended foods x

Have a look through this - it may help.

thanks caryll will go on now, are you having any trouble with your pup food??

I feed raw, but when I first got Dempsey the breeder had been feeding him Bakers. I quickly got him off that, it's an awful food!

He reacts badly to a lot of dry foods - very hyper & badly behaved. He's a different dog with raw feeding. If you want to find out more, have a look at this site...

great site not sure i cud do raw though? we have a 7yr old boxer too who is happy on wet food and think raw on the pup may cause probs... going to look at a better dry food for her maybe is the option... can give it a go maybe??

I had my pup on dry food, a good quality one but he was still hyperactive i've recently swapped him onto raw and the change is amazing he's alot calmer still has his mad moments but overall a lot calmer

I would definitely get him of bakers though it's a really bad dry food with all the additives and colourings init

Really, it's down to whatever suits you & agrees with your dog!

JWB is a good food bakers is awful. x

we feed raw

The Wainwrights is what i feed Archie and he loves it.
might get him some of that natural choice minced chicken from pets at home.

We use fish for dogs now used to use james wellbeloved, both great food but fish for dogs does seem better for her skin and coat.

It's all about trial and error really and what suits your dog best.

I started off with wet food and bakers, worsed thing in the world to feed a dog imho. Then went onto beta which she loved to begin with. Then I looked into raw and havn't looked back since.
