puppy is 3 months old now... when we got him at 8 wks he was on iams. My mom has been convinced by another friend that has a shepherd that abady food is so incredible. For those that arent familiar with abady it comes in a brown sand like powder that is supposed to be mixed with a special variety of abady meat. Im leaning toward thinking it is BS but wanted some other opinions. To those that may not be familiar with it I can get any info off the box that would be needed to help decide whether this food is appropriate or not. If not- an suggestions out there?
We fed our last shepherd 100% raw based on her breeders recomendations but the breeder of our present puppy said to stay away from raw and stick with typical puppy food- any opinions out there????
I had my male GSD on dog food and when I switch to the all natrual diet I few things happend.
a. His smell was much better
b. No more White Flakes on the skin
c. His oil seemed to produce faster after a bath.
Thanks John!
I found it convincing as well. I did however notice "Abity" under the foods he lists as having human grade ingrediants... Any possibility that Abady and abity are the same? As well I dont believe he mentions how to mix these foods in with the natural diet. Finally can a 3 month old pup start eating the all natural diet or is it too soon? Could he possibly do some of the natural but should he be held off on other parts of it?
Ed's spelling can some times be off a bit, so yes, Abity is supposed to be Abady.
I feed my dogs raw (Including puppies)! My last litter started eating a raw diet around 3 weeks of age. Ed's litters also never see the likes of kibble! Ed's pup sample menu
I am very familiar with the Abady dog food. I would choose to feed raw first..which I do..and have for years and years.. but as far as commercial foods go.. the Abady is a decent food. I would use the granular..not the kibble.. and I would definetly add in the Frozen Complete.
HOWEVER.. I would choose RAW over any commercial food.
I use Abady off and on, because a fully raw diet doesn't work for my dog. It can make a tremendous difference in the dog's energy level, in my experience, but it can also be too rich if fed all the time.
Care to enlighten us on exactly what you mean by "too rich"? I am sitting here struggling with the possibilities. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
I have a 8.5 month old GSD and I feed her Best choice dog food and she has a great looking coat and body. I don't feed her human food ref: scraps off the table (per my SchH trainer).
Abady dog food has corn in it. Even Abady is starting to cut corners on their food. i fed Abady and my shepherds did well in it. I stoppped once a saw large kernals of corn in it. Then I found a study. Which Abady didn't want. The food is also laced with lard so dogs will eat it. That study was done by Natural dog. As long as you supplement a raw diet is great. Then once you figure the cost of feeding raw it's more expensive then feeding one of the top Holistic dog foods. I feed Canidae and still give my shepherds raw bone in poultry. Twice a week. I see no difference in them when I fed raw. Just a lot less work.
