Just did a check on Blackwood's website. Most of their products has either corn or rice as their 2nd main ingredient, which is not good. 1st 2 ingredients should preferably be not rice or corn.

Divas,

Just out of curiousity, for a dog that gets say about a 45-60 minutes walk each day and is happy to laze around the house for the rest of the day with the occasional play and mental training. How much percentage of protein would be good and how much would be too much?

Always remember with the kibbles, never feed as much as what the instruction says. It's more than the dog needs.

I don't know about you. But my dog is always hungry no matter how much I feed him. Lol.

have you just got your dog recently?

You could probably use fish oil as a slightly cheaper alternative? Another thing of note is to always make sure your dog gets sufficient Vitamin E if you're supplementing it's diet with fish oil. This is because fish oil or other omega fatty acid supplements can cause Vitamin E deficiency.

I feed fish oil capsules because omega 3 fatty acids are fragile and can very easily be destroyed by heat light and air. They are not present in many foods and even if contained in commercial foods, can lose their effectiveness during storage. As for dosages, the recommended dosages are:

Vitamin E minimum dosage:
0-25 pounds – 50-100 IUs
25-50 pounds 100-200 IUs
50-75 pounds 400 IUs
75- 100 pounds 400-800 IUs
Omega-3 fatty acid minimum dosage:
0-25 pounds – 100 mg
25-50 pounds – 250 mg
50-75 pounds – 500 mg
100 pounds – 1000 mg
