I bought all my chicken at the grocery store, human grade right off the shelf just like I do for myself and my family.  Then why, oh why, did everyone get sick?  I guess you just can't trust anyone these days. I handled all the chicken very carefully, it came home, went to the freezer and then to the grinder when it was just almost thawed. 
I came to this conclusion; #1 Either it came from the store contaminated or #2 it went bad between the thawing to the grinder.

Since the packages were all sealed until almost thawed I have to conclude that it was already contaminated when it came from the store. Even raw chicken can't get contaminated with something with which it has not been in contact.

So back to the drawing board, I can't have this again.

So what am I feeding my Rottweiler's now?

I have been feeding Taste Of The Wild High Prairie Blend for several months now. This one is grain free so no worries about aflatoxins in the food.

For my rottweilers that don't get along with the Taste Of The Wild, I feed Diamond Naturals Chicken and Rice

Some get a blend of the two.  Just whatever works best for each individual Rottie.

My retiree's  now get the exact same food as the rest of the kennel, more Diamond Natural's less Taste of the Wild, they don't need the high protein, it makes them fat since they are not as energetic as a young Rottweiler dog. I do give them about 10% of their daily diet in Taste Of The Wild to be sure they are getting all they need as to vitamins, etc. This keeps their coats shiny and their health good.

All of my Rottweilers get their dog food topped off with cooked and deboned chicken. Yes, cooked. I don't want to go back there again with raw.
When I am too busy to cook chicken for my Rottweilers I mix in some canned dog food.  I have settled on  Evanger's 100% canned chicken.

I have found that every one of my Rottweilers are a little different as to which food will agree with them and bring out the best in health.
Look for that nice shiny coat and good energy levels as the first indicators of which food does best for them.

On what food am I starting my Rottweiler puppies?

Nutro Max Large Breed Puppy and Innova Large Breed Puppy
Which feed I start them on depends on how large they should mature to and how fast the growth rate is in that particular line.

Why am I starting my Rottweiler puppies on these puppy foods?

Check out the link and read the guaranteed analysis on the food, you will see that calciumn minimum is 1%, calcium maximum is 1.5% for the Nutro Max and even lower for the Innova..

Large breed puppies should never and I do mean never have more than 1.5% calcium in their diet. Even less if they are projected to be very large and grow very rapidly..

This is not my opinion, it is a scientifically proven fact.

Check out the link and adjust your puppies diet accordingly. Diet alone will not fix genetically bad hips or bones but incorrect diet alone can ruin the potential for good hips and bones.

I am working on another page that I will add to the website later with more information on Rottweiler puppy hips and bones and growing them right. Look for a new page on this in the near future. I feel that there is a real need to get this information out to as many puppy buyers and  Rottweiler breeders as possible.
