As a person who deals with other peoples dogs for a living....
I cant believe the garbage people feed their dogs. Bullshit dog food with ground yellow corn, other garbage fillers with no health benefits or nutritional value whatsoever that just ends up in your lawn. Not to mention how many people think Lamb and rice is ok for their dog yet their dog keeps getting ear infections. Most dogs cannot tolerate grains, wheat, ect. Rice is a fucking grain.
Yet we take our dogs to the vet and the vet gives them drugs which are bad for them to try and bandaid the simple fact that you need a food change that has no GARBAGE in it.
If your pet has dry skin, goopy shit in its eyes, chronic ear issues(excess crap in ears, infections ect) ITS A FOOD ISSUE.
Stop feeding your pet what is on sale or what is cheap you fucking horrible fucking people. DAD's, IAMS, Beneful....its ALL garbage. You don't have to go waste your money on Blue Buffalo or shit that's $70 a 30-40 lb bag. Or the "special diet" bullshit that your vet only sells that they get a kickback from.
Something like Taste of the wild for instance. Only one I can think of off the top of my head.... Its like $45 for a 40 lb bag. First ingredient is meat. There is no shitty fillers.
Most of the shit you people feed your dogs is like eating mcdonalds every fucking day. Nice, considering most of you are supposed to be bodybuilders ect...
Even table scraps are fine if they don't get to over eat. Doont feed them bread, grains, wheat, rice ect.
If you cant afford to or refuse to feed your fucking dog food that isn't garbage then you shouldn't have a fucking dog.
I see this shit every fucking day of the week. Every time I am scooping wads of smelly shit out of a dog's ears I want to stab someone. Especially Lasa's, Labs, Goldens, Cockers ect who are especially susceptible to food related issues.
BTW...if your dog has dry skin, patchy hair, drinks water like its going out of style....it has a fucking thyroid problem!!! It doesn't need fucking prednisone from your clueless vet.
