Feeding time

These are some pics of our personal dogs, taken over the last couple of days at morning feeding time.


This is Cabell's outdoor eating spot (left).  Everyone has a designated eating spot both indoors and outdoors and they all scurry to their respective places when they see me coming with full food dishes. 

Bremo (right) also eats from an elevated bowl both indoors and outdoors.  When he's finished, he picks up the other dogs' food bowls and takes them to his bed.  He then gives them a very thorough cleansing and then keeps them nearby.  It's not unusual to see him with two or three food dishes on his bed or on the floor in front of him, waiting and hoping for them to be filled up again.

Bremo is getting thyroid medication with his food twice a day, plus 3 fish oil capsules, a vitamin E, glucosamine/chondroitin, and a gradular skin and coat supplement called Theracoat.  Cabell just gets the fish oil and glucosamine/chondroitin.  Gypsy gets those plus previcox and tramadol for arthritis pain.

Zachary (left) is our digestively disabled dog.  He can't handle any grain based food.  He eats Taste of the Wild, a scoop of Bravo's chicken raw food, and a raw chicken back.  He won't eat if anyone is watching him, which is fine, because it's disgusting to watch. 

Molly and Trooper (right) are not picky about what or where they eat.  They are the only two of ours not currently on any kind of supplements.  Trooper, however, is a poop eater, so he finds his own dietary supplements.


And here's our whole crew, except for Gypsy, waiting for breakfast.

Check with your vet about using the raised feeders. My vet told me that new research says not to use them.

Taste of the Wild is good stuff. That's what we feed, along with the fish oil and glusosamine supplements.

Bremo licking the food bowls: All our rotties have also been keen on seeking any stray food molecules!
