My vet swear by Spaghetti noodles (actually any pasta) as a savior for GSD's less than 2 years old. Also, believes that a good blend of cheese mixed with the noodles are not only healthy but actually reduce my costs. I give him 3 bowls of pasta a day around 8 cups. Once a week I give him meat that mailnly consists of chum tuna, I buy in bulk. He seems to be doing so well. I use to feed him Puppy Chow by Purina but he did not do well on it. He is fit as a fiddle! A great GSD who has alot of energy from the carbs he receives from the Pasta. This diet he been on for 3 months. Sometimes I also give him a can of ol Roys wet food with the pasta. Anyone heard of this new diet growing?
Carbs for the GSD? Noodles and Macaroni.

Dogs do not need grains in their diet. Personally I prefer to use a grain-free diet in most cases... There is no dietary requirement for carbohydrates in dogs.

My dogs love popcorn but my cat especially loves popcorn with brewer's yeast. She licks of the brewer's yeast and then eats the piece of popcorn!

Zamboni loves pizza though. I never thought about making it a whole diet for her though. And now

she can't eat it anymore.
Nina, my Italian grandmother fed her dogs cooked meat and chicken livers, plus some veggies and yes, a bit of pasta. I'm guessing yours didn't feed their dogs POUNDS of pasta a day, eh?

I cannot tell a lie. I sometimes give the Hooligans small amounts of spaghetti with meatballs or mac & cheese (and pizza too) and they LOVE IT. In fact, when I get a pizza delivered they ASSUME it's for them!!! Bruiser has been a pizza aficionado since he was about 7 weeks old - he opened a pizze box his breeder had put down for a moment and helped himself to a slice. FWIW - as a treat my canaries loved a strand or two of spaghetti (no sauce) too.

Oh boy.
As hilarious as this is, the kind of information the original poster is giving on this forum could be dangerous for new german shepherd owners or new members.
Also I really, really want pizza right now but it's almost 2am
