There is better quality food out there for Milo than Eukanuba, if you're interested. I'm not a big fan of commercial treats either. I usually use Kaji's kibble, or fresh fruit and veggies (in moderation) for trick/obedience training. There are those on YT that make home made dog treats, I like those! The ingredients are in plain English and they're simple, so you know 100% what you're giving your baby. |
Yes, you are correct! I have some trust in Miloh’s breeder since they’ve been in the breeding business for over 12 years. What other foods do you recommend? I often serve Miloh a handful of cooked or even uncooked veggies, he loves peas, carrots & broccoli. lol

If he just looked at his chart, then he is probably wrong. Clerical errors are made by staff all the time. |
The vet slightly felt on his rib cage and said you shouldn’t even be able to see it nor feel it. From what I’ve read they suggest you can feel the rib cage but not fully see it.
