just reading some of these diets i dont know if you could condone it but she loves it and my old man just wont get the hint about his dog, the vet gets up him all the time as well as me and my brothers and anyone else that knows better (the majority of the population) i will give you a typical days food intake for my dads best mate
Weekdays
AM before 7.30- gets scraps off the table from brekky usually bacon eggs and toast and tooo much has been cooked again
AM before work - gets two doggie biscuits (supermarket style what ever is cheapest that week)
AM as leaving for work - get a bone to eat (which is usally eaten every month by someone elses dogs when they find it cause she is full and hides it)
PM 5pm on the dot or she will bark at you or the neighbours till she is fed - get her dinner 1 cup of dried food usually no name brand and 1/4 of a deboned BBQ chook from the supermarket
PM after dinner of humans- gets the scraps not eaten from dinner plates
PM when my dads wife is in bed because he would get his you know whats chopped off- dad goes to the kitchen and get him and his little girl a bowl of icecream
and on weekends it is usually more cause he is around more but just more crappy doggie biscuits (8-10)
now this dog is a bitsa everything and she is at the ripe old age of 18 and still going have given you a picture so you can see she would still be pretty ugly without gut , he did try this when she was young so he told everyone ( i reakon he was smarter at hiding it) and her guts were not much different
but i can tell you she is loved and spoilt like no other dog i know, she sleeps on the bed with them, if she cant get up they help if its raining she goes to work if its hot she stays inside with aircon if it too cold (under zero is common in winter) she goes to work so she wont be cold if dad is too busy at work she stays home with the heater. I think it the way they are treated more then diet, but you wont catch me doing this (ps she is the height of a tallish) staffy) ;) ;) :p :p
