I'm working w/a behaviorist to find a cause for Walter's aggression issues… as many of you already know. What is interesting about Nikki is that she looks at the ENTIRE picture of the dog, food they are eating, supplements, environment, etc...
I have been feeding Walter Fromm's from the beginning, and Nikki said that Fromm's is a great dog food. HOWEVER there is a theory stating that copper can cause aggressive behavior in dogs, the percentages of copper should be in the 11-14% range. Most Fromm's kibble is the 20% percent range… he's eating Pork & Applesauce now which ranges in 21%. She said the best way to control copper levels is to feed raw, or look for another kibble that has low percentages. I'm NOT opposed to feeding raw, I'm just not sure I have the time or expertise to do it myself. I was feeding Roxie the frozen raw patties which she seemed to enjoy so I may go that route again…
I'm NOT a food guru at all, so I wanted to throw this out there to see if anyone has heard this theory, or if you have any ideas what would be a good alternative for Walter. I appreciate ANY feedback on this… Thank YOU!!!
