HI - just looking through the site and came across your query on food - we've just come onto the site and was asking initially about leg problems in our dogue de bordeaux - however! Another topic we that has driven us positively insane has been what to feed him. Being what is called a "giant" breed we have had to find a food he likes, is reasonably priced and has all the nourishment our pup needs since he grows so fast and his bones are so soft....at the end of the day, as other people have told you - how long is a piece of string? Everyone has had a different opinion of what we should feed him when we asked the same question over and over again because our boy just refused to eat dog balls! But at the end of the day from trying everything from Puppy Pal to Eukanuba to Innova NONE of which our pup would eat no matter how we camouflaged it with "treats" from the stove top - in a last ditch effort we went for the Science Diet at a hundred bucks a bag - and guess what? Augustus eats it like it's prime rib! It's either the most flavoursome dry dog food on the market or our dogue - true to name who's cost the earth - only likes the expensive stuff! Whatever- we persevered 'til we found one he likes and has everything in it a giant breed needs - and it's recommended by and I believe only generally available from Vets and Pet stores - haven't seen a bag leap out at us from Woollies at a bargain price thus far! Hope your decision is easier and not as expensive! As long as you've got a healthy fit dog I guess we'll feed them what we have to...
