Dog food!

I feed our puppy on a pure raw diet with vegetables, I use either nutriment or natural instinct, a pre minced and mixed raw food which comes frozen for convenience. I'm looking into getting the meat and veg and mixing it myself if it works out cheaper but the same quality.
Her training treats are cooked meats, purely because I don't want raw food in my treat bag and on occasion she has some dried treats and cheese. I'll be cutting out dry biscuit treats when we've moved.
My mum's 3 have one raw meal and one dried meal, mainly because we don't have the freezer space to feed 4 dogs on raw food.
It doesn't cost me much to feed her on raw, around £10 to £15 a week, this will reduce when she's stopped growing though!

I like the raw diet as I've seen many dogs with problems from work move onto a raw diet and it's like a miracle cure and they've cleared up in a couple weeks like they never had skin issues.
Dogs are most likely to be allergic to chicken or beef (according to a holistic vet) too, which is in almost every dry food or tinned food but you can choose easier and know what your feeding in a raw diet, making it easier to rule out possibilities if they did have skin problems.

Eve loves her raw bones and raw food, looks amazing condition, is very healthy and in proportion. I also give her natural flea and worming treatments too for her best interest rather than chemicals I don't really know (that's a different topic I'll shh about though).
In my personal opinion, it doesn't matter too much what you feed as long as your dog is as healthy as they can be.

And sorry for an essay...

That's a lot of great information there. :-) they was saying raw meat diet had cleared a lot of problems up for dogs.

My dogs very heathly but she has a constant itching problem. She makes her self really sore under her front legs. So I have cream for her which clears it. But I'd like to stop her from itching.

Cheers nial and Liam I think I'm going to try changing her dry food to something better.

Think I'm going to try her on something raw instead of commercial meat see how she goes for a week.

I've always used stuff I get from the vets as I pay monthly for a pet plan and they're included what could I get that's natural?
