One last tip, be very, very wary of dried dog food like biscuits, no matter what the label says. A few years ago, I had a dog called Becky that remained at home alone during the day, while I went to work. I didn’t like to leave her ‘wet’ food, because of flies, bacteria and vermin, so I bought dry food, which would not go off during the day. However, within six years she had gotten diabetes, which meant that I had to inject her with insulin every morning. Sometimes, she would have a fit. The veterinary said that it was very common for dogs fed only on dry biscuits to get diabetes, so check the food with your vet first or feed organic wet food.
