Skeletal Disease in Young Dogs (Dog Food)

Here is a link to an excellent article dealing with skeletal disease in large breed young dogs and diet. the "calcium" and "conclusion" sections are of special merit.

I know its not a skeletal disease, but DO NOT use WALMART Brand dog food, had a friend of mine who was using it and he lost almost a whole pack of dogs due to it. They use chicken feathers in their food, not a good idea, caused his dogs hearts to burst.:(

I would not use any band of food that Wal-Mart carries. Generally your better foods are found at your smallar animal food/feed stores or Mom and pet stores.

I have had several dags do pretty well on Wal Mart Ol-Roy dog food.

I have since switched to Diamond, but only because my newest dog gets really dry flakey skin on the Ol'Roy.
