Hi guys, new to DT so bear with me.
I got my Dobie Rosie a few days ago. She's around 2 (or so we where told). A little chubby but we're taking her out for lots of exercise. For a Doberman I'd say she's on the lower end of the energy scale. She's had pups before but we weren't given too much information on that, so she's going to the vet next Tuesday for a checkup. The people who had her lived in a rural area/farm. The had their garage attached to the back yard. From what we could see Rosie lived in the garage/yard and not at all in the house. This is reinforced by the fact that unless she's doing her business then she wants to be in the house.
Now when we got her, we where given a bag of Pedigree Vitality +, immune boost, beef flavor. YUCK! Crap food I know
She has very dry flaky skin along her back. No sores, just a plethora of dandruff. She is enjoying being gently brushed out though!
So my main concern is that the quality of the food is why her skin is dry and flaky. I want to switch her food to something a little more nutritious and was wondering what you guys like to feed your furbabies. The stores (Pet Valu, Global PetFoods, WalMart, Grocery stores) around here are charging RIDICULOUS prices for food so I also would like to know if you guys know of a Canadian site (from Ontario) that I could order from that won't cost an arm and a leg.
1. What is a recommended kibble by DT members?
2.What is a recommended site to order kibble from?
3. Is there anything I can ad to her food now to help with skin issues? (been told ground flax/oil or a raw egg a week)
