How and what do you feed your dog?

I know the brand of dog food is a pretty common question on here, but I’m more interested in your entire feeding regime.

1. What brand(s) of dog food do you feed your dog?
2. How many times a day do you feed your dog?
3. Do you give your dogs vitamins or supplements? What brand? Do you give them with their dinner or separately?
4. Do you add anything else to your dog’s food (yogurt, table scraps, etc.)?
5. Do you regularly give your dog any snacks apart from their regular feeding time?
6. Do you follow the feeding recommendations of anyone (your vet, a book, etc.)?
Oh, and please no thumbs down. This is an opinion question. The only reason someone can answer wrong is by telling us that they feed rabbits to their alligator (or something else meaningless).

If you feel you must expound on the values of your food or the valuelessness of someone else’s, please do so at the end of your response, not by giving someone a thumbs down.
Here’s my answer:
1. Artemis Fresh Mix
2. Once
3. My old dog gets human-grade glucosamine with chondroitin. They both get a supplement, but no particular brand at the moment (looking for a good brand).
4. Daily: Yogurt, garlic, fish oil. I like to keep a little variety in their foods. I’ll add healthy things that I’m eating or other stuff around: herbal tea, potatoes, meat, orange juice, raw eggs, oatmeal, etc.
5. They get a whole carrot in the morning.
6. I follow (though not strictly) the feeding regime of the Goldesteins in The Goldsteins’ Wellness & Longevity Program (book). This book isn’t very well known, I don’t think, but I was very pleased with it when I read it.

How to come to terms with my dog’s death?

My dog got put down last night at 9.42 pm. He was a West Highland Terrier called Bobby and he meant the world to me. I had him from a pup and I was just 6 years old, I am now almost 20 and it’s really hard.
He was diagnosed with chronic kidney failure a couple of weeks ago, we tried to change his diet and make him comfortable, but he kept losing weight, had a heart murmur and developed anaemia. Last night he was awful, he gained the energy to pick himself up, take himself outside and just stay in the shed by himself. I think he knew it was time for him to go, after rushing back from university yesterday, I looked after him all day, but he didn’t want to eat or drink. Last night he tried to get up again, vomited and collapsed, he never got up. He kept breathing, and wouldn’t give in. I called him and he looked up at me, we had to call the vet. The vet came here, attempted to put my dog down by injecting his veins in both legs, but they kept exploding because they became so thin. Eventually he had an injection in his neck, which knocked him out immediately, still breathing. He had to be rolled over and have a final injection in his heart, this broke me, I was there the whole time and wouldn’t leave my boy for one second. I just broke down crying and grabbed him to cuddle him, we had to put him in a bag and kept him in our shed last night.
We are burying him today and putting a slab over where he is buried saying ‘Bobby’s Patch’. I am absolutely heartbroken. Can anyone offer any advice or support about how to get over a dog’s death. I have to see him again today, to cut a little bit of fur off to keep and use it as part of a collage I will make to celebrate his life. This dog means the world to me, I grew up with him, always been with him. Whenever something was wrong I spoke to him, he has never hurt anything…except cats, he never liked cats. I miss him so much already and go out to stand next to his grave a few times a day. RIP Bobby <3

Poll: Who is your favourite artist and what is your favourite painting by them?

Artist in the sense of someone skilled (or I suppose unskilled) in painting.

My favourite artist is John Collier, favourite painting being Lady Godiva, mostly because I find the legend of Lady Godiva interesting.
