This weekend the local fishmonger has given me a lovely fish head, which was duly shared between my 2.
It made me realise that they get quite a huge variety of foods and probably because of this the poo is consistent and they probably have strong digestions.
They go from a complete, mainly AG but somtimes JWB, various rmb, family leftovers, and occasional things like fresh fish heads and bits, tinned sardines, eggs and so on.
From going very carefully not changing much of the diet initally, to full blown 'all things'.
Even the wind has died down to very little now.

Sounds like mine.  they get Granddad specials.  My Dad keeps all his leftovers for me in Ice cream containers in his freezer ;)

Mine to have left overs from my family and they love it with their AG. But i cant do fish heads...oh no sorry dogs.

You should give it a go; peg, rubber gloves, em, they really are the dogs absolute favourite thing to eat!

This is my aim for Storm too. She gets good quality complete as well as chicken wings, apple, pear, peas, mackerel/sardines, sweet potato, eggs, turkey mince- anything I can get my hands on really. She is only 7 months, so I don't go too crazy, but I hope that by the time she is one she will have quite a strong system which can handle change/variety better than if I had just stuck to complete. I know that she is more happy on this varied diet- the additions are always polished clean, whereas the complete is nibbled at until its gone. I have to hide the fruit bowl now she is tall enough to sniff out stuff on the kitchen top :-)

My two get the same - a bit of Arden Grange, once in a while JWB wet, and then a lot of whatever I cook for tea ... plus tidbits in between meals.   They only get meat/fish/chicken, veg, potato and sometimes rice or pasta - no sweets, nothing with a lot of fat, etc. 

Interestingly, even though I only feed a small amount of dog food, the only tummy troubles they've had that seemed to be connected to food happened when I switched to JWB dry.  First I tired the JWB dry duck and Abby got loose poo and blood that ended in a trip to the vet - Rudi was fine.  Next experiment I tried the grain-free JWB dry and Rudi got loose poo - but it was fine for Abby.   They are both fine with the JWB wet.

Apart from that ... no upsets from a very changeable diet.

from pups mine have been switched between various completes, raw, naturediet etc.  Now (with Fagans chicken and duck allergies aside) I can swop their food about, change complete foods without doing it gradually and I never have a problem.

They dont get many left overs from our plates - they dont exist in my house ;)
