Thanks for the info palameto, nice to have a vet around willing to share good info.

I feed my dog a high density food - Taste of the Wild brand High Desert formula of venison and buffalo. Shes part pit and I've had pits so I feed this grain free diet to them due to their allergies, sometimes with half a tsp of flax seed. She weighs 60 pounds and eats 2 cups per day and a milkbone - large of course - for lunch.

Just an aside; if you do feed a dense protein food to dogs, they will grow. My dog was 34 pounds last July when I got her at a garage sale. 8 months later shes a pretty solid 60 pounder. I had to cut out the raw egg and Wal MArt Cheese wow spread...

So palmeto, what about those cheese spreads? My dog will jump into the bathtub for it. Maybe let me trim a nail or two...
