Hollie 21 Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 I have about 3 weeks left of the puppy food Kylo has been on, he turned 1yr yesterday so i am going to move him onto adult food, trouble is i don't know what to buy, there is tooooo much choice and most of it is filled with crap. At the moment he is on Wainwrights salmon puppy dry food, not excellent but a mid range food, costs £30 a sack, i want to spend a bit less if i can get away with it, about £20 a sack. He has done well on wainwrights but i feel he is a liitle boney, only a little but i would like a bit more meat on him. Any suggestions?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A sack of complete food around £8 and dog mince for 20p a lb . they get the mince with complete food as a mixer, they get chicken once a week, and probably a stew once per week, useing the pet mince, and whatever veg i`ve got in, they get garlic in their food regular too...

Yis Mars.... I did look into BARF when i got him but to be honest it confused the hell out of me, i'm sure what i read made it look more confusing than it is.................getting the mineral/vitimin balance right etc etc. He does have veg/meat and garlic regular if there is any spare and i often throw in tuna oil onto his food so i'm not against that way of feeding at all, like i said, it confused me!!! OK then.................if it is as simple as mixing in mince to a complete dry food......i can cope with that!! (just!) Where do you buy the mince from so cheap? I will defo think about doing this.

poacher3161 1,766 Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 Chicken or lamb mince is without doubt the best food to put weight on a dog.The lamb we used to get was the bandsaw waste and this mixed with a good biscuit had to be watched the amount of weight a dog would put on with it.atvb dell Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mars 42 Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 I get the mince from the local pet shop... Sounds to me like your doing ok anyway, some people reckon Pasta, and tripe is a good way to Bulk up. perhaps that is worth a try.. Yis Mars... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bullx 12 Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 (edited) Meat is the best thing to give your dog,if he eats it,i get chicken carcess,s and turkey carcess,s for mine,have backs on them like horses.only thing now is i have to take a few pounds of them and get them ready for the season ahead,but remember,its easier to take it off than put it on, Bullx.
