Long story short for background, you can skip is you want— i wanted to do this sooner but we got her at 8wks old in an apartment that she absolutely destroyed. We took her across the country to my in laws farm at 6 months old and she’s been there since. We have since relocated and have a fenced in yard and large house for her nearby them. My main concern is the lack of dogs here, she lived with 4, two being other bird dogs. I’ve been taking her for long walks and car rides/stores every chance i get, and she gets to roam the backyard for at least a 5-6 hours of the day, so her energy needs are met.
My question is what recipes or websites do you use to determine breed specific needs? She also has a case of steroid responsive meningitis Arteritis- SRMA- which is apparently an autoimmune disease that can and is being treated with steroids (prednisone currently 10mg a day). She came from a reputable breeder and it’s not something that could’ve been caught on screening, just bad luck.
I just want my baby girl healthy and happy and i wouldn’t want to eat the same dry food every day forever. She does get spoiled with high quality treats like carrots, dried organs, bones, fresh scraps that aren’t tainted with spices etc etc
Sorry for the rant, I’ve looked into this for my cats but it’s a lot more daunting for them and we have 6 vs the 1 dog.
