feeding my golden

What is the best dry or wet food to give to goldens? do you recommend giving treats such as dog bones? Thanks any input appreciated. I have heard so much about dog foods I am confused.

There is a good book about feeding specific breeds of dogs...sorry I can't remember the name. But, for example, because of where goldens originated it suggests not giving them fish, because they weren't near the sea... What to feed is a big debate. There is no 'best'. It is all opinion. The best advice I can give you is DO YOUR RESEARCH. A good book is 'Food Pets Die For'. Look for it at your library. Go to a search site, like google (www.google.com) and type in commercial pet food. Read some of the stuff that comes up. If you want to feed commercial food, the best advise is to learn to read the labels so that you know what your animal is eating... If you want to know more...ask...I know a little.. GoldenPup
