I NEED THIS ADVICE. thank you for saying this. I was reading about collapsing treacheas yesterday and have heard my girl cough that specific cough I saw on YT and freaked out. She is probably from a puppymill and definitely had no medical care until I rescued her, so I do worry more than I ever have about a dog under my care, but I have to remember the best thing I can do for her is to stay well informed but calm and happy.
It does seem like a lot of it is genetics, but regarding fat content, would you rec staying away from richer meats like lamb and beef? I picked the Acana Pacifica over the Orijen for times I can't cook or do raw because it's not as rich, and I have chosen mostly chicken, fish, and turkey as her meats. I did get some lamb and duck, but will feed it sparingly. I have been told different things by different ppl so it gets rather confusing.
What about peanut butter? She loves it but it's definitely high in fat, especially for such a wee one!
