I think this might be helpful considering which diet suits your pet more in other to maintain good body tone and coats. To feed an English puppy could be very hard and frustrating,all you need is patience. when I got my GSD newly she was really a picky eater. she won't eat what I gave her but she will poo everytime,that got me worried. I decided to contact the breeder about her previous diet but twasnt successful. I was advised to leave any food I give her on her bowl that she will always come around to take a bite, I did and it kinda worked, I didn't like the idea cos of flies pestering on it. I bought various dog food to see which one will entice her more;
Simply right (savory cuts in gravy)
Purina alpo (prime cuts)
Corn beef
jojo premium
I gave her corn beef she ate, I decided to mix it with jollof rice but she picked only the corn beef and left the rice. I tried simply right, she smelt it and left it, I was the one to feed her the savory cuts by hand. At time goes I cooked indomie and mixed it with corn beef without seasoning,she liked it(this was seuns idea). then I tried Purina alpo she went frantic so was my two pet cats Cos they were always beside me when m feeding cayenne, so I had to let them have some. i also tried over cooked rice mix With corn beef and a little semolina she loved it, I was making progress .
The bill for the dog food was so much, as a student I can't always keep up. so I always tried mixing half can of dog food with most food like spaghetti, rice, indomie and the rest and she always seem to be enjoying her self with those,as of now she's no longer picky with food, she eats whatever that comes from my hand. by the look of things she's growing fast and well balanced than i anticipated judging from peoples comment,she's just 2.2 months old.
For those of you like me who might find it a bit difficult to go for expensive dog food, you can make some yourself at home, I'll give you guys some few pointers and some of my homemade recipes

yea i bet, but rotts are born with great appetite than a GSD, GSDs are always picky with food at early stage, with time it might become a big problem if not well monitored and nurtured. the only time you see a GSD eating well,is when faced with a rival(competition) or if theirs another dog living in same house with it. i ve tried alot kibbles with my GSD, but it seems she never gets along with any of those so i switched to raw chicken. when you get the Eucanuba food,dont fail to share the pics and testmonies, this actually my first time hearing of that product.

check out celebrities and shoprite,be advised it requires strict negotiation if you most get somewhere.

Sorry boss, the chicken will last u for how many days?

Shoprite don't sell their waste, they dispose under strict supervision. If you're in Abuja tho, pls I'll like to talk to u to know how u get ds. Need for my dog too.

Don't ask for waste, ask for pet mince, beef (or pork or lamb) bones for dogs, chicken bones and/or chicken backs.
