Kangaroo meat.
Hi folks.
when i first got Nev, the breeder told me not to change his food and not to give him any supplements until he was 12 months old.
Approximately 6 weeks later, Nev had developed a minor yeast infection (front paws and one ear).
He was eating raw beef mince and Purina supercoat puppy food with a little natural yoghurt.
I took him off the Purina and started him on TOTW Pacific stream puppy (GF)
So far so good......
3 weeks pass and i notice a strong smell coming mostly from his breath, and a little through his skin.
It was a kinda metallic sort of smell, not yeasty smell. I kept checking inside his mouth but nothing looked out of the ordinary.
The small yeast infection has gone from his ear but still visible in his nails.
I thought it may be the beef mince (human grade) that was making him smell, so 3 days ago i took him off the beef and replaced it with Kangaroo meat.
This stuff has nothing in it except Kangaroo meat + organs crushed bone etc..
The smell from Nev has gone almost over night and he loves it.
Because the Roo meat has no preservatives in it, i do have to cook it before he gets it.
I cook it in the oven with Kent pumpkin and then pulp the pumpkin and mix it with the roo.
The lady who sold me the roo meat is a dog nutritionist at the local Uni, she told me to mix 50-50 pumpkin and meat.
I don't know if it sounds a bit excessive with that much pumpkin...
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Also, does anybody else out there feed there bully on kangaroo ?
Yeah, i know it's probably not easy to obtain outside of Australia...(smiley)
Cheers....Neil
PS..................Does anybody use "Filtabac" sunscreen on their dogs ?

I'm far from an expert on dogs. But I have spent 4 years at uni completing a bachelor of dieteics (medical nutrition) and spent 6 years working as a dietitian in various hospitals and other practices. So when topics come up on dog nutrition I parallels with human nutrition interesting. I can often see the logic in what people are feeding their dogs, and common misperceptions (that seem to parallel misperceptions in human nutrition).
