The breeder I got my GSD off of gave me loads of bones and tripe to feed my
dog on.
Binned as soon as I got home I might add.
If your dog has a funny tummy may I suggest a couple of things.
As a Labrador is the larger breed .
Then what ever food you decide on should be formulated dog food.."for the
larger breed puppy."
I used James wellbeloved .
I know a man who has to feed his Labrador on it because of the tummy.
The vet did told him to do so.
No the vet does not sell it before anyone comments.
Or I find Butchers tripe in tins very very good on a dogs tummy.
I also would say do not give the dog to many roughage biscuits.
If I give mine to much roughage that will occur.
Good luck hope this will be of help.
Pat.
