Well I'd like to share a couple of my misleading experiences and hopefully other people will post there own here so others don't fall into the same trap.
The main reason I came to this forum was for advice on many things but mainly about food for leon.
I had been given advice from two pet stores here where I live on which food is the best for leon,
First store advised me to use there royal canin bulldog breed food it's specially designed for bulldogs are there isn't anything better for them, but leon had terrible gas and his poo was always runny. (Sponsored by royal canin)
So I went to my second store (sponsored by bozita/robur) and straight away said royal canin was one of the worst food and I should feed leon robur puppy and breeder he said it will give him lots of power to develop and help with his muscle development but leon wasn't a fan we had to feed it to him by hand and he also started to lose hair and had two bald patches.
It wasn't until I went to my third petstore I was chatting with a lady who worked there who gave advice on pet food and snacks advice, she was looking around and acting strange and was wondering what's wrong with her it wasn't until she said she was making sure her boss or any co-workers were about and told me big pet stores here in Groningen are kinda sponsored by big pet food companies and are pushed to sell there product so they get the product cheap and make more money (there was by royal canin) and she advised me to look online and do some research for a grain free dog food hence how I landed up on this forum.
Now leon is on orijen puppy we don't have to feed him by hand he eats it no problem and his hair is growing back his poo as firmed up and he as way to much energy.
Did you have any experience like this ? If so please share I wouldn't like anyone to be taken as a fool like I was.
