Thanks for that am looking at what's best for the new hound. He's getting a bone a week from the butchers, and I think I'd like to go down the BARF route with him, especially after doing a lot of home made foods for the old dog with his kidney failure to incite him to eat.

Newbie is on Burns at the moment, which he is doing well (too well?) on... Interesting to hear that it's not normally good for keeping weight on dogs... I think i must have a dog like my horse... gets fat on fresh air
