Gugny Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 9 minutes ago, mead107 said: I forgot, Gugny is a cheap bastard. ?? This is true. However, if I really believed that buying some overpriced organic food based on Internet babble would make my dog live a longer, healthier life ... a) I'd buy it and b) I'd regret getting the dog (for reasons beyond why I already regret it). One of the people who told me that Beneful is "like poison," said goodbye to their pooch a lot sooner than I'll be saying goodbye to mine. As far as licking the plate goes, I'm not giving her three adult-sized human food meals per day. She's licking a !@#$ing plate. It's not bad for the dog. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So i think it just easier from the time they are puppies they just learn no human food ever, that way their expectations never get raised. Plus i think it gross. 2) Damn, I wish I spent $20 on a bog of food. We get the Natural Balance stuff from Chewy, like $50 a bag. With 2 70lb+ dogs, that lasts a little under two weeks. I will say it did clear up the one dogs problems with his ears and butt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teef Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 no. no i don't. then again, i have a lab, and we have to stop that mother !@#$er from eating anything at head level. this past year, he ate 2 bags of double fudge milano cookies, (or something from the farm brand), a full apple pie that i accidentally left out, an entire plate of calamari, and countless dinners that we have made for our daughter. the last thing he needs is to lick the plates.

These damn dogs are pretty friggin durable and all of them have lived to about 13 years old. labs are machines. i know a vet fairly well, and she told me that labs are their biggest money maker. our lab even ate one of those giant bottle of ibuprofen when he was a puppy. we gave him peroxide which made him puke, and rushed him to the vet. the vet let me know that it was more than likely that his kidneys would be damaged beyond repair, and even though he was under their care, they may check on him to find him passed away. after a couple of days in the hospital, he walked out of that place like a champ.

That chicken bone thing? Probably good advice for some small and medium breeds, but I have a 120lb Akita that eats anything that moves. So let's say I don't give her chicken bones. What then? Do I go pry the possum, skunk, rabbit, cat, vole, mole, etc. carcass from her mouth prior to her consuming it in it's entirety (albeit in bite size, ripped from the carcass, portions?) Also, I have a Rat Terrier that is 15 years old and still the fastest thing I have ever seen on four legs. She cleans off plates, and if the grease and fat are hurting her you would never know it. She is a svelt, muscular, 15 year old dog. She loves carrots so much that she prefers a carrot over a milk bone. I don't let her eat chicken bones, but I do give her pork bones and She cleans it down to a polished bone and then leaves it for lard ass (akita) who literally destroys pork bones like they are milk bones. Our local vet is primarily a large animal vet (we live in a rural area with a large dairy farm contigency)--definitely knows her stuff and she commonly remarks on the health, temperament, and general well being of our dogs.
