Yellow Lab food

Question
Hi Patt,
We lost our amazing therapeutic dog Durango on New Year's day. We never thought we could have another dog after Durango, since he was so perfect!  But, our patients and kids convinced us otherwise, and we are now excited that we are getting a terrific little girl puppy, yellow lab, in a few days.  My question has to do with dog food.  I have read your article about dog foods and all the yucky ingredients many of them have in them.  We are willing to spare no expense and effort to feed our puppy properly.  What brands of dry foods do you recomend, and do you suggest we supplement with other things such as raw or cooked foods, and vitamin supplements?
Please help.
Dr. Kent

HELLO DR KENT

I ATTRIBUTE GOOD DRY KIBBLE AND FRESH FACTORS AS MY SUPPLEMENT IN SAVING OCEANS THAT GOT RUN COMPLETELY OVER BY A CAR SPEEDING UP ON ROAD THE GAIT SOMEONE LEFT OPEN, SHE HEARD US CALLING HER SHE STEPPED INFRONT OF AN IDDIOT AND BEING YOUNG, LARGE GIRL AND IN EXCELLENT HEALTH SHE WAS RUSHED TO MY VET WITH COLLAPSED LUNGS COMPRESSED LIKE A SPONGE, HEART DETACHED OF COURSE AND BANGED ON HER LUNGS, MY VET SAID: I WILL PUMP HER FULL OF FLUIDS TO BRING HER VITALS UP AS SHE WAS SO SHOCKY BUT NEVER LIFTED A LIP TO GROWL IN SUCH PAIN AND SHOCK, SO CORDIAL OF MY GREAT TEMPERED DOGS I HAVE.  HE ALSO SAID: I WILL FILL HER WITH STEROIDS AND CALL ME THAT HAPPENED DEC 9 ON A THURSDAY AND MONDAY THEY CALLED AND SAID PICK OCEANA UP, SHE HAS 3 CLEAN BREAKS IN HER PELVIS THAT WILL TEND TO THEIRSELF AND HEAL AND SHE CAN BE BRED NATURALLY, SHE IS NOW IN HEAT AND WE SKIP THIS ONE TILL JUNE, SHE IS RUNNING ABOUT AND HAPPY AND HEALED.
I GOT OFF COURSE WITH MY PROBLEMS BUT FRESH FACTORS I USE SO I RECOMMED THEM FROM WWW.SPRINGTIMEINC.COM IS WHY SHE LIVED AND MY VET AGREED HE IN FACT ASKED ME WHAT I USE ON HER THAT SHE HEALED SO FAST AND WITH HER YOUTH AND GOOD FOOD ALSO.
I FEED PRO PLAN ADULT CHICKEN AND RICE TO ADULTS AND FOR BITCHES IN WHELP OR BEING BRED THE PRO PLAN PUPPY CHICKEN AND RICE IT HAS KEPT MY DOGS HEALTHY AND NOT TO DROP OFF I JUST WHELPED 19 PUPPIES IN FOUR DAYS LOST TWO FOR UNKNOWN REASONDS i BOTTLED FED AND TRIED, BUT GOD TAKES THE ILL.
I WET MY DRY KIBBLE WITH HOT WATER AND STIR TEN SECONDS FOR THE GASES TO ESCAPE BECAUSE OF NOW BLOAT COMING SO POPULAR.  I ADVISE PEOPLE TO DO THIS RATHER THAN DRY TO EAT.
I ALSO ADD COTTAGE CHEESE TO MY BITCHES TO START TO EAT AFTER THE SHOCK OF LARGE LITTERS AND PAIN.  I GO TO GREAT LENGHTHS ACCMODATE MY BITHES THE BEST I CAN GIVE THEM AND DURING WHELPING I WHIPP AND EGG WITH TBSP OF SUGAR FOR QUICK PICK UP.
IF U CAN TRULY AFFORD SOLID GOLD IS GREAT BRAND, CANADIE, SPELLING MIGHT BE WRONG, BUT GREAT FOOD FLINT RIVER RANCH IS MOST LIKLY THE BEST THAT IF I COULD AFFORD I WOULD RECOMMEND AND USE THIS BRAND.  THEY HAVE A WEB SITE ALSO AND EXPENSIVE BUT WELL WORTH THE BAKED NATURAL INGREDIENTS THEY PUT INTO THE FOOD FOR DOGS I WOULD JUST LOVE TO USE IT AND IF I RAISE MY PRICES I WILL.
RAW BARF DIETS REQUIRE SO MANY EXTRAS LIKE VEGGIES CHOPPED, VITAMINS OF ALL KINDS, FISH BONES AND ALL, ETC.  IT IS JUST NOT WORTH MY WHILE.
NOW WHERE I AM BUYING MY KEVIN FEMALE IN CANADA SHE USED COMMON SENSE RAW FROZEN NATURAL DOG FOODS AT WWW.COMMONSENSEDOGFOOD.COM AND USES IT ON HER DOGS BUT SHE IS MOST WEATHLY AND CAN AFFORD THIS AND I WOULD PRAY I COULD ALSO BUT CHARGING ONLY 800 FOR A PUPPY AND THE WORK AND WHLPING HOURS INVOLVED AND MICRO CHIPPING INCLUDED WITH VETTING I CANNOT FEED THE TOP OF THE LINE.  I AM ALWAYS SCARED EACH TIME I USE A DRY KIBBLE WET WITH HOT WATER THAT MY DOGS WILL DO OK,  BLOAT IS A COMMAN THING NOW AND I AM BEGINNING TO THINK MOST OF IT IS GENETIC AS I GET TOO MUCH OF THE QUESTIONS ABOUT IT NOW TO BE A FEEDING PROBLEM, ETC.
NO HUMAN TREATS OR TABLE SCRAPES AT ALL NONE ....PERIOD.
NO CANNED FOODS PERIOD ALSO.
RAW CARROTTS ARE A GREAT TREAT  THE LITTLE NUBBINS U CAN BUY IN A BAG.  THE ONLY COOKED FOOD IS WHEN ILL IS RAW HAMBURGER AND WHITE RICE TO FEED A DOG OFF FOOD. OTHERWISE FEED MORNING AND FOUR P.M, LIFT WATER AT SIX WHEN TRAINING A PUPPY WHEN HOT WEATHER SET BUCKETS OF WATER OR A WADE POOL OF CLEAN WATER AVAILABLE AT ALL TIMES TO YOUR PUP OR DOG SO IT DOES NOT GULP WHEN HOT.
SUPPLEMENTSs: FRESH FACTORS ARE THE BEST WE HAVE RESEARCHED TO DATE AND BUG OFF FOR FLEAS NO FLEA VIALS FROM A VET, THEY GIVE TOO MANY MEDS THAT GO INTO THE ORGANS TO CAUSE CANCERS AND HEART AND LIVER PROBLEMS U SHOULD REALIZE THIS AS THEY GET POINTS FOR GIFTS AND TRIPS PRESCRIBING JUNK FOR OUR DOGS, TAKE CARE OF YOUR PUP, CLEAN OUT THE EARS WEEKLY, BRUSH ITS TEETH WITH DOGGIE TOOTH PAST AND BRUSH, KEEP UNDERNEATH CLEAN IF FEMALE AND UNDER TAIL, WATCH FOR BUILD UP OF THE RECTUM TO CLEAN OUT IF U DO NOT LET IT EAT AND EACH BOWEL MOVEMENT HELPS TO CLEAN OUT THIS MESSY FLUIDS THAT WITH EACH BOWEL MOVEMENT NATURALLY WITH A HEALTHY DOG ELIMINATES ENOUGH SO NO BUILD UP TO SQUEEZE THE RECTUM.
GIVE IT A RAW BEEF SOUP BONE TO KNAW ON ONCE A WEEK TO HELP CLEAN THE TEETH AND GOOD FOR THEM BUT NOT TOO OFTEN IF SHE GETS THE RUNS THE MARROW IS TOO STRONG CUT TO ONCE EVERY TWO WEEKS, I HAVE BONES ALL OVER OUR ACERAGE.
I ALSO GIVE THE LAGEE ABOUT SEVEN DOLLAR NYLABONES FROM WAL MART THEY LAST MONTHS TO CHEW, NO RAWHIDE OF ANY KIND PIG EARS ETC FOR THEY SOFTEN AND CAN CAUSE BLOCKAGE IN INTESTINES.  NO STRINGY OR STUFFED TOYS TO EAT AND PASS OR HOPE THEY PASS WHAT THEY SWALLOW IN PLAY. ONLY HARD TOYS OR A SOCK TIED IN KNOTS TO PLAY TUG OF WAR AND TENNIS BALLS TO THROW FOR EXERCIE, WALK DAILY AND EXERCISE SLOWLY UNTIL 18 MONTHS OF AGE THEN DO HIPS TO SEE IF YOUR WARRANTY WILL COVER BAD ONES A IS PERFECT, A FAST NORMAL IS GOOD, B IS FAIR ANYTHING LESS GET A REPLACEMENT FROM BREEDER AND TELL  THEM TO RATE THE HIPS ON THEIR BREEDER DOGS OR RECHECK THE PAIR FROM YOUR PUPPY.
BLEEDERS, THYOID, HEART AND THAT IS THE MOST PROBLEMS I HAVE FOUND TO BE SO GENETIC IN THIS BREED ALONG WITH ONE TESTICLE AND SIZZOR BITE IN TEETH. HOPE YOU GOT A TWO YEAR WARRANTY ON HIP DISPLASIA?  AND A HEALTH CERTIFACTE TO BE CHECKED BY YOUR VET TO BE FREE FROM ALL DISEASES OR A REPLACEMENT AND U DO NOT NEED TO SEND BACK YOUR PET U BOUGHT BUT A REPLACEMENT MADE.

KIND REGARDS
