Hollie 21 Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 Hi all I am currently feeding both my dogs on a completely RAW diet, however, next week i am being moved into temporary accommodation and cant take my dogs with me my lurcher is going to my mums and my whippet is going to my dads, the lurcher will stay on RAW because my dog food freezer can be stored at my mums but i need to find a DECENT dry food for the whippet, i don't want to spend a fortune but i know the cheaper stuff is filled with crap and i don't know what to buy Whippet is 9 months she will be a little more active with my dad (he is on a farm and will mooch about for hours and may take her out at night as well ) What protein % should i be going for, i don't want her to be hyper and she wont be running hard Any advice would be greatly received Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wild_and_Irish 11 Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 I use Redmills when I can't get meat, its 27% and the protein comes from meat and fish not grain which is better for the dog. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
