This isn’t the usual he needs wash, has rolled in something stinky, has had an accident etc. He was groomed about 5 or 6 weeks ago as he seemed very smelly even though it had only been 3 months since his last grooming. A week or so later he stank again. Just a deep musty unpleasant dog odour. We...

Could people post up here what they feed their newfs, it would greatly help anyone wanting to or currently feeding Raw/Barf to get sample diets from others. Maybe make a sticky of it. it would also help people who are feeding wrongly as it is a learning curve with BARF. Right our diet for...
