Month Diet
What sort of vit supplement should I get when I start a raw diet for a 6 month old German Shepherd?
My German Shepherd pup is eating herself to death. We have had several vet checks. She has been on Prednazone (sp) for the last two months. It hasn't been working and she has been eating herself to death. I took her back to the vet today and found out that she has a staph infection due to her digging and chewing and they gave her a steriod injection. He said it should work instantly unless it is a food allergy. So far it hasn't helped. We discussed changing foods within a weeks time if she is still chewing. He suggested Science Diet ZZ or ZD (?). She is on Lamb and rice right now, Chicken made her chew herself more so I am almost positive it is food related. I am reading up on raw diet and wondering where on earth do I find the vit to put in her food?? We don't really have a pet store anywhere near here. Or should I try to change her to the Eukanuba venison? I'm trying to save money and keep my dog healthy, thats why I ask that. The SD food is HIGH!
OK, if you could see what they use in those foods you mentioned....feathers/guts/bones/skin/hair/ all ground up, then add coloring/flavorings/ etc, etc, etc, you might see why your dog seems to be 'allergic'.
Try Flint River foods- they are online -google them. They might seem expensive, but you don't pay shipping, and your dog will eat less, so it actually is less in the long run. Plus you can get your dog off the bad stuff, and vet visits, so money saved there.
You can read the testimonials there....it saved my animals' lives, and my sanity!
Happy Life to you and your Dog!
