commercial dog food, the type that is in the grocery store, is truly awful. They actually use road kill in the mix! Feed him leftovers whenever you can, it's a nice way to round out their diet. They just cannot eat onions, beans, chocolate, really spicy stuff, or grape seeds. But otherwise they are pretty omnivorous and do well with a bit of veggies and fruit in their diet.

At the pet stores are better dog foods, check out Innova, Wellness. There's a raw food movement for dogs, mine get a combo of raw and cooked. You can buy cheap frozen ground turkey, defrost and serve with a bit of extra oil added and leftover veggies. Great meal for dogs.

vitamins are great, Pet-Tabs and C-Biotic are great.

It can take up to a year for a dog to adjust to a new place. It's wonderful seeing their personalities come out as they trust you more and more. Beware of getting a dog with huge paws and really defined, high hindquarters - they're usually jumpers and diggers and can bound right over the fence!
