weetabix and puppies

[NeverSayNever]

PARDON??? I quite CLEARLY stated in THAT post that it WAS NOT an attack in any way a, just a MUSING and my SECOND reply to that thread said I was JUST GENUINELY interested as we were due to vacc next week.

Perhaps its you that needs to read posts properly jeez.

maybe Im reading a tone into your posts that isn’t intended? As I said, I did find a couple of them hard to ascertain what you meant. However despite your initial disclaimer that you weren’t having a go, you still said ‘for the sake of £16 why not vaccinate’ which does, to me, insinuate the OP didn’t bother and reads as quite derogatory Same with this uninformed advice...

Oh my goodness! OF course they need puppy food! that would be like saying large breeds dont need large breed food... and then you end up with all sorts of development problems!

If you read my reply, i also clearly stated that no offence was meant, I didn’t shout in capitals either.

Manners, dear. You've come on here and told people you think of course puppies need puppy food, of course large breeds need large breed food, which is frankly a marketing ploy and untrue.

There are people on here who have raised dozens of puppies and who have researched feeding for many years. Facts are appreciated here, not blindly following what the vet told you to feed. Had I done that, I'd be feeding mostly cereal. Just wrong. Vets have one day of training on nutrition whilst studying-for all animals-unless they research once qualified. They are sponsored to sell the food in their surgery.

you dont buy the actual food from the surgery but the advice is from your vet same thing no?

look, I took my pup to be weighed at the vet this week and they looked at a chart produced by a feed manufacturer and announced she was underweight as the ‘chart’ says she should weigh 6kg at 13 weeks, not 4kg as she does. Particularly with Border Collies, its nigh on impossible to go by a chart as there is such variation in the breed. You can have a small, lithe hill dog bitch like one of mine, who is 11kg as a adult, or a stonking great donkey bigger than some labradors at pushing 30kg. Am i listening to the vet in this case? Nope Looking at the pup infront of me she is a picture of health In this day and age it pays to do your own research.

Unless your vet has done further nutritional studies, I think it's wise to research your own food. Hills comes up as rubbish on any analysis site, full of unnecessary fillers, low meat content. Most vets I've ever used sell it. It's disappointing.

Would love to stay, this is one of my Fave topics, but have to go off to a wedding.

KierlyMiss, I am not sure if some of your posts are meant to be sarcastic - if they are, you are very funny and I like your style, but it would help if you used more smileys

If not, then just chill the head out no need to re-register but some of us have learned to push the envelope a bit when it comes to dog management/health/nutrition/training and ask lots of annoying questions of our long-suffering vets

For the record, one of mine is on dry food or tinned crap, because it suits him, the other is on raw. When my mother was breeding, pups were weaned onto raw mince as was my young dog, I find Weetabix bland, boring and stodgy, would rather eat the box, so there is no way I would feed it to a dog

Our pups are weaned straight onto raw mince, Isabel and her sister were actually fed minced steak, because the butcher had run out of normal mince :-D
