One last piece, be very, very wary of dried dog food like biscuits, no matter what it says on the packet. I used to have a dog called Becky that stayed at home alone during the day, while I went to work. I didn’t like to leave ‘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 contracted diabetes, which meant that I had to inject her with insulin every morning. The veterinary said that it was quite common for dogs fed only on dry biscuits to contract diabetes, so check with your vet first of all or feed organic wet food.
