@Edroom may God bless you. This are the kind of articles we need in theory section for it to boom. It's so sad that the mods don't regard the section. Why would they, when all you see are threads with caption "Massive head", "shout Halleluyah dog", "Big bones" and other fraudulent ones. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

I really appreciate the write up. The part about having time is so very true n can be a very serious issue if u want to bond with your dog. When it comes to feeding, why do people not mention raw feeds? I've researched it and even placed my dog on it most of his puppy age till date. With primarily raw feed u find that the coat has a lovely shine and your dog stays healthy and happy. I go to a chicken farm and buy their chicken legs and heads. Also get organs like cow hearts, lungs liver n kidneys. Combining these raw with indomie or diamond feeds has been good for my dog. 1 Like |
