    Yes, I feed my dog on Royal Canin and I do this because I like their research programmes and have asked the company many questions about what is in the food and the quality control of the food.

    I feed my dog on Royal Canin SC21, which is one of their specialist foods (you do not need to feed this, regular Royal Canin is just fine if you dog seems healthy on it), and I find Royal Canin's information and research on special foods particularly good.

    As long as everyone is happy, then yes, it's fine.

    There is nothing wrong with it and it's totally up to you. Usually the only downside of a dog sleeping on your bed is that they take up room and also sometimes walk on you :) And you get a bit more fur on your bedcovers...

    Our dog Obi sleeps on our bed. I like it. He has his own bed in our room too and sometimes he chooses to sleep on that instead, or sometimes he falls asleep on the couch and stays there for most of the night.

    The RC puppy food is good, yes :)

    As for sleeping in your bed, absolutely, if you're happy with that! I think it's lovely to sleep together if you want to. I can't have my two sleeping on our bed, because I would never get any sleep. Shadow is too much of a wriggle-bum and has very pointy elbows!! However, I often fall asleep on the sofa having doggy cuddles :)

    Thank you guys :) :):):):)
    Well these days charlie started coming on our bed to sleep with us and I really love it though he is having his own big bed but still sometimes he prefers to sleep with us. Im ok with it but thought to ask you all so that i can be sure of that its healthy and fine for all three of us :)

    The biggest risk is that he'll take over your bed and you and your partner will end up being relegated to Charlie's bed* ;)

    * Yes, I have spent the night sleeping on a dog bed when I was pushed off the sofa by point elbows**

    ** Yes, there may have been a glass or two of wine involved :rolleyes:

    Its better to give him dog food as it is balanced diet for your dog.but never ignore human food add small amount of human food to your dogs daily diet

    A dog on a balanced diet specifically designed for him does not require human food to be added. The addition of some vegetables or sardine type fish is ok but in general human food contains too much sugar/salt to be healthy for a dog.

    Our dog has been on kibble since he was weaned. We've tried a free different brands, the lamb and rice flow ours suit him best. Check the ingredients and percentage of protein.

    Giving him rice would be no different than the 'fillers' in the kibble.

    Homer gets a small tin of pilchards mixed with his food, once a week and sometimes a raw bone from the butchers.
