Our dog Reggie is 14yo and we have had him since November 2014. He was a rescue we got from the Dog's Trust at Canterbury. He was known to have some behavioural problems that needed managing. And to be honest, still need managing.
When we got him he was on dry food and although he ate it it wasn't good for his diet or his stomach. His weight is maintained at around 17.7kgs and he was putting weight on with all that grain and rubbish.
We switched him to a raw diet and this saw a rapid improvement in the condition of his coat and health. It also cut out all the stomach problems he had and amazingly his poos changed - for the better!
There are plenty of suppliers of raw food in this country, England, and we have one nearby that specialises in raw food and so we no problems. In France it's a lot different. I have spent quite a bit of time googling and came across a company called "Easy Barf". A quick email, and they confirmed that it is available at many pet stores across France and one retailer is Médor et Compagnie. Googling them shows there are about 60 stores across the country. Luckily. One in Narbonne close to where we will cross into Spain on the A9/AP7 route. Another email and they confirmed that they stock "Easy Barf" in 1kg frozen blocks. That store added to my TomTom route! Since then I have another branch in Vichy that might also see a visit.
And now to look at Spain? I found a few places that do mail order. More emails (!) to check to see how long shipment is and maybe get some delivered to the apartment? It's all part of the fun!
Some of the replies are confusing and didn't actually answer the question I asked at all.
