The Border Collie Good Food Guide

Once the dog grows into an adult, feeding becomes a little easier. If your Border Collies starts to gain some extra weight, either cut back on the treats or put a little less food into the food bowl. If you think your dog is too skinny then add some more. Taking the Border Collie for regular vet checkups can really help you because the first thing they do is weigh the dog. Your vet will be able to advice if the dog needs to lose a few pounds or if he is a good weight.

The recommendations on the back of the packages almost always overestimate the amount you should feed your dog.

Canned vs. Dry food | Border Collie Advice

Some days she doesn't touch it whereas other days its been finished before I have left the house. Make sure they breed for a reason - show, performance or herding, not just to produce pets. All puppies in the litter should be the same price regardless of colour, sex and register and the nose and eye rims of the parents and puppy should be fully pigmented. If you find a breeder who does all that, trust them to advise you on how to feed the puppy to make sure it grows properly. QLD is home to a lot of shonky registered BC breeders so make sure you pick a good one, not a shonky one.

Dogs do well on a wide variety of diets There is pitifully little research on the effects of diet, over many years, on dog health. Keep your crap detectors turned on. I'd say go to the medium-to-high end kibble range.

Experiment with different foods knowing that it may take a month or more to see results. Work out what works for you and your pup.

In Conclusion

My dogs seem to do best with some fish meal based dry food; one of three seems to get itchy with chicken-based foods. They get fat on chicken frames. But it's doubtful whether my circumstances can be extended to your pup. Tinned food, artificial colors, flavours and preservatives are not recommended to feed as part of your puppies meal when bringing them home. Easily digestible food with plenty of vitamins are recommended, for example, cooked beef or chicken mince, cooked vegetables this will make them softer and rice.

Goats milk, low lactose milk or a specific formula like divetelact are enjoyed and are a useful addition to the diet, not necessary but it does no harm at all. Most can in fact digest normal cow's milk.

I'm sure in the past, many a Border in the highlands worked all day on a plate of porridge, some milk, an egg and a meaty bone. For centuries they have lived with the shepherd's family and eaten whatever was available so they are pretty adaptable as far as diet goes. Most enjoy any fruit and veg ranging from mangoes to parsnips but again they are not vital parts of the diet, just possible additions.

It has a lot of incorrect statements, and leaves out vital things like health testing. Not a good guide to Border Collies! Wonder who this so called expert is?
