yup, when it comes to docters they are equal to us, we only go to the docter if we cant figer it out ourselves lol howeverwhen it comes to diet... we make many spencial trips to the butcher to get them their yummy bones, we litterally eat the leftovers from the dogs chicken and turkey lol we keep the breast and the dogs get everything else. we watch their weights like a halk , every single day making sure they are not the teenyest bit fat, nor too thin, we take time out of our day to make the dogs their breakfast, we just toss cerial in our bowls if we eat at all. lol I think you get the picture
