I have been feeding my golden retriever according to the prey animal model (or so I thought) for about 5 years (since he was about 9 months old - mostly because of very discouraging digestive problems). He is quite healthy and happy today. I do have some questions about Darwin food. I noticed there is no fruit listed, no broccoli or the like. Is there a reason for this? Also no digestive enzymes. I thought animals in the wild got those enzymes from the stomach contents of prey animals and so needed to be added by us humans when feeding companion animals. I have also been giving joint protection stuff like glucosamine because of breed vulnerabilities. Is this not necessary when feeding raw, as Darwin? And how about fish oil? One last thing - we have been giving our dog raw meaty bones such as chicken backs. Is this necessary? Is it acceptable? Ty loves them!!<br>Thanks so much. This information will be very helpful for me.<br>Diane Lakata These posts have been very informative and helpful.

My dog responds well to walks without a leash. I follow the other suggestions as well. Thanks for sharing. Very good information. My dog responds well to walks without a leash.
