Create variety. Any nutrients fed to excess can be harmful.

Avoid:

Small pieces of bone - can be swallowed whole and get stuck.
Milk - Associated with diarrhoea. Animals drink it whether thirsty or not and consequently get fat. Milk sludge sticks to teeth and gums.
Exclusively lean meat - Not balanced.
Exclusively vegetable - Not balanced.
Cooked bones - Get stuck.
Mineral & vitamin additives - Create imbalance.
Processed food - Can create dental and other diseases. There are no prizes for the fattest dog on the block nor the fastest. Feed pets for a lifetime of health. Prevention is better than cure.
IMPORTANT: Please note that individual animals and circumstances may vary.
