Midwest Meg commented on the blog post Thursday Night Basset Blogging
Love your boys. I had a beautiful Golden Retriever with so many allergies it was like he had doggie lupus or something. I switched to feeding him raw because nothing else was working. It didn’t help. We ultimately lost him at age six. But heck, going raw was no more expensive than feeding him high-grade kibble and I was sort of taken by the idea of what would happen if you actually fed dogs what they were designed to eat, via evolution?
Anyhow, I now have a Bernese Mountain Dog and a Bassett. I buy ground hamburger, chicken backs and a few other things from a wholesale meat company, mix in a few supplments and that’s it. You can make anything into a fussy fetish, so avoid the people who do that with dog food. There’s a great book out on the subject by Lew Olson, Raw and Natural Nutrition for Dogs. Lew is a hilarious, no-nonsense Rottweiler breeder from Texas. She keeps it simple. My dogs are thriving.
On the other hand, if you don’t want to go this direction, buy whatever works and keep enjoying those gorgeous Bassets. Life is too short to worry about this stuff.
I do love Thursday night Basset Blogging
