DO COLLIES EAT A LOT?
Collies, when fed a professional quality food actually need but two to three cups a day, a surprisingly small amount for a medium sized dog. It is very easy to overfeed as many Collies are “good eaters” so you must monitor their weight carefully. If you try to feed a cheaper, grocery store type food you will be feeding the dog almost twice as much (five to six cups) to maintain the same weight, so no money is saved with this practice. WHAT ABOUT NATURAL DIETS? We don’t feed a natural diet ourselves, due to a lack of time and too many dogs (sigh..) but if I could, we would. In the meantime, we do supplement some dogs with NRG, which is a natural dehydrated dog food. It is excellent for the dogs – and they love the taste. For more information contact James and Nancy at jamesj@junction.net – they are in Armstrong, BC, and the food is made there.
