[QUOTE="smokey, post: 4062128, member: 12215"] What kind of dog food do you have him on now, and how much are you willing to spend? I've heard that basically vets know nothing about nutrition as they only spend a few weeks on it (mostly spend time on surgery, etc...) and Hills sponsors most nutritional classes, thus you see Iams, Purina, Science Diet, etc... being sold at vets and super pet supply stores. From what I understand, those brands have a ton of fillers and ingredients that you really don't want your dog having. Though I've always had a tough time with that concept since my parents have fed their last 2 golden's Iams and they have had no health problems that wasn't normal or due to age. From what I understand, the best dog food health wise is brands like Innova Evo, California Wellness, even Canidae is pretty good from what I understand. But my Newfie (who I had on Nutro Large Breed, he's 1.5 years old) tried to switch over to Innova and has had some digestive problems so far, so its not for every dog. But its pretty much the best stuff you can buy, if you look at the ingredients. Absolutely no fillers (grains) mostly meats, potatoes, vegetables, etc... Hi-protein, low carb diet. Now I'm trying Canidae, which has some fillers (rice and corn) but has no other crap so we'll see how that goes. [/QUOTE]
