Just wondering what people feed there lurchers?

I have a 7 month old dog (saluki/collie X deerhound) and not really sure what to feed him.

Any recommendations? Thanks people.

I always avoid anything with additives and now am avoiding food containing wheat(which is most dog foods) as i`ve found there`s a lot less poo to pick up.You`d have thought i had a couple of ponies and not lurchers!

Anyway,i`m now using csj lamb and rice which is wheat gluten free and reasonably priced. This is supplemented with small amounts of heart,liver,mince.sardines,natural yoghurt and decent table scraps.

Also since going onto wheat free food,my latest rescue has started to put on some much needed weight,which was a struggle before..... :thumbsup:

Forgot to add that at present there`s a teeny bit of preservative in the vitamins in csj lamb and rice,but thats in the process of being taken out and should be additive free in a few weeks hopefully.The rest of their range are now additive free.

My previous neighbour had problems with his whippet puppy being sick a lot (with no particular pattern) and not gaining weight. He was almost at the point (I think) of possibly returning her to the breeder, or taking her to the vet college for investigation which would have been very expensive.

I spoke to him recently and they have put the puppy on a wheat free diet, and the difference is amazing. She has put on weight and looks really lovely now, and no longer being sick. :thumbsup:
