Dog biscuits making him hyper?

[bernhund]

I bought Wilson a bag of what look like your common or garden dog biscuits from Pets at Home a week or two back. You know the ones that are black, red, yellow and buff coloured. Just boring biscuits in bone, diamond a round shapes.Well I don't know if it's just my imagination, but Wilson has become really annoying in that time too! He's like a child on too many sugary sweets full of e numbers etc.
What do you think? Is this possible and have you experienced similar with your dog?

they are full of carbohydrates and can send even the most laid back of dogs nutty. if you want treats for your pocket invest in a dehydrator and dry out some meat, break into small bits for him

My dogs is always like that.

Like the dehydrator idea, I have one already never thought to use it for treats.

Yes, switch to raw and watch them calm down.....

So it wasn't my imagination. Meat treats it is then!

if that was intended as sarcasm then epic fail, raw food contains meat and nothing else, look at the ingredients of any dry food, loads of preservatives, flavorings, carbs, veg. Yes our pack have their bouncy moments, yes they like a good carry on but they are dogs, they arent climbing the walls. another benefit of raw food is that as it is frozen beforehand for a minimum of 2 weeks any bacteria is killed, plus our lot prefer the food frozen so it is straight into their systems before any organisms can breed, we dont need any nasty pesticides for worming or fleaing as fleas cant survive on the skin of a raw fed animal as there is no fats to eat. try it

I think you're barking up the wrong tree, if you'll excuse the pun...

I believe Jasandjules is a big advocate of raw feeding.

Yes they are, Marshal_Alan you couldn't get bigger advocates of raw diets and natural therapies than Jasandjules!!!

Though your explanation of why fleas do not survive on raw fed is not true.
