In thinking about feeding, we have had great success with our dogs (and also so far, our wolfdog) by using Merrick dog food (dry and wet), which is based almost entirely upon meat and bone, and natural fruits and vegetables - and never any corn or gluten. We also supplement our dogs with raw bones, fresh meat, and green tripe. Their feces are minimal, with very little smell, and coats and bodies are healthy and beautiful. Our dogs are also full of energy. The dogs love their food - and the ingredients are human grade. I've considered trying them, they look very tasty, with bison, pheasant, duck, and chicken!

The food isn't really any cheaper than BARF (although, our pet store gives us a discount), but it is a bit more convenient, and certainly much healthier than foods made with corn and gluten.

Chew toys are also essential - puppy safe, and always under supervision - we usually find that when our puppy starts mouthing something, she is in the mood to chew - after we tell her no, we immediately give her one of her own toys, which she will be content to chew on for quite some time. We usually seperate our dogs when chew toys are out, just so there is no disagreements, especially between our CSW and GSD.

I truly hope you are able to resolve this issue.
