but they are eating healthier products.

My family dogs grew up on ol roy (even my collie I currently have ate it till age 2) They all lived to atleast 13. But they all also had rotten teeth from all the crap in it(blaze was at the vet a week ago, and the vet couldnt compliment me more on my tooth brushing work on Blaze. i said I never brush teeth. his are pearly white and perfect for a senior dog. Aside from one broken tooth, he has a rock obsession and smashed it on a rock lol), shed like monsters (one was a collie. And blaze my current collie who is now on a good food hardly sheds anything at all) smelled horrible both from gas and skin issues(blaze has no horrible smells coming from him), nasty dirty ears, even when cleaned out often (I never need to clean blazes ears. Jus wipe them out if its been muddy, since he rolls in mud and gets it in every nook and cranny lol). Just because a dog can live on it, doesnt make it very healthy. Some one can live off mcdonalds every day for 47 years and have no issues with it.Doesnt mean its healthy.

Well, apparently your Begle, whom you told me several months ago when you were chastising me for calling Beagles, a "small', has lost 6 pounds. I hope he hasn't been ill? You said at that time that jhe weighed a solid 41 pouns, no fat, all lean muscular, dog,etc. I see recently you said he weighs 36 pounds? I hope he hasn't gotten into any corn gluten. PS None of the dogs I mentioned who did eat the "bad" food got rotten teeth either.

He is a growing 15 month old dog, weights go up and down on growing animals. His weight fluctuates. he is a hard keeper, due to his excersise routine. he goes on atleast a 3KM walk for me to do, he probably does 6-7KMs since he runs circles around me the whole time. and a few 10km+ runs a week as well.

Not sure why you are bringing such a thing up. my collie goes from 55-60 through out the year too. I keep both very lean and its very normal depending on time of year for him.

For the same reason someone reposted a several months old post of mine.

My doggy SPOT didn't eat dog food now, he loves to eat left overs now. I tried him one time to taste it (the left over food) and he really love it so every time I have him prepared dog food he don't eat.

Both dogs are eating natures domain. A pretty decent food, that doesnt destroy my wallet, or them. Much better then grocery store shelves or wamart shelves food.
