My grandma's Lab is 9 now. Sure she is seemingly healthy to a normal person who is not a dog freak (LOL)... but I see an overweight dog, who could not even go on a quick 15 minute walk with me without nearly passing out.... her hair is dull and dry, and sheds like crazy (alot more so than a Lab I know that is fed Blue Buffalo), her eyes have hardly any hair around them anymore, hard to explain, but they are dark circles sort of. She poops a TON, she constantly has ear infections, and she has a nasty doggy smell even when you bathe her. These are differences to me, that I notice, and I believe she is fed Kibbles n Bits. |
Well, as I said, it is not what I would feed mine. Just saying.
As for comparing your grandma's dog to another and using food as the guideline; I really don't know that that would be an accurate comparison. There are far too many other variables. If research were only that easy!
