Ok. I’m tight. Which in a way is a good thing for our dog. He always gets the same food religiously and the same sized portion at the sametime everyday- Organic Duck and Kibble dry food from Petsathome. Comes in a huge bag and he gets a coffeecup full twice a day. Everyday he might also have a dribble of cod liver oil over the top as well. Half a Pear three times a week. Otherwise NOTHING else.
Dog problems (like humans) start when you chuck in processed food and treats (all treats contain utter crap- I dont care what the labels promise you).
Our dogs weight stays the same 10.4kg year in year out and the only visit he has to the Vet is for his annual jab (£25).
He once had an upset stomach (crushed Rennie in his feed) and I treated a few dog bites with Savlon.
Owning a dog can be cheap but deviate from their diet and thats when the problems start IMO- you confuse their digestion, they become irregular.
Oh ps. Ive never had to trim his nails- Exercise trims his nails :)
