I am just going to play devils advocate here and mention that although some dogs do have dietry special needs whether for health or breed reasons the generic dog is a scavenger and should be able to live quite happily on just about anything and I feel that sometimes a bit too much emphasis is given to diet whether raw and natural or coloured and refined. And just what is natural for our dogs today anyway and what was, since they don’t run about as much as they would have done etc etc.
Before changing the diet to solve all problems check out a good behavioral counsellor. Google APBC for one in your area. You never know there may be another reason.
Sorry to thro spanners. Tho I do recommed fish oils and a good mouthful of horse pooh.
All the best

Rosie BarclayMemberHi all
Please check out my new book on dog behaviour written for all dog owners and includes two chapters on puppies and how to prevent problems occurring later on in life. The book concentrates on dog behaviour and what we have learned so far and does challenge the many theories of behaving like a pack leader etc. I am a qualified Animal behaviourist working in the Jersey (Channel Island) and have many years in this field. I appeared regularly on Channel Fours Pet Rescue and have co-authored The APBC book of Companion Animal Behaviour.To preview it click on http://www.lulu.com/content/709983
its very good and covers all the questions you have ever wanted to ask such as why does my dog run off around the garden with my knickers etc.
All the best
