help with feeding my lurcher

[barry lurcher 27]

try melting some lard in with your complete a good lump coat the complete dogs will love it better to ask if you worried about your animals your never to old to learn minced beef in tescos 2 quid for 500 grams 3 times a week good luck mate

good balanced diet.as long as the dogs getting all it needs let it eat its fill.

minced beef,veg,pasta and a couple of table spoons of olive oil wont go a miss.

a lad i know has a colliexgreyhound bitch. 26.ths.she must be about four now.she got a big square collie head but you can see all her ribs and back bone from her neck down the base of her tail.very picky eater only eats when she wants and as much as she wants.nothing more.had her to the vets but they give her a full bill of health and says its just how she is.she have a run down the fields with my dog not quite as fast but a faster recovery rate than mine.if your dogs fit and healthy and dont have the runs all the time i wouldnt worry to much.just sort out what food suits it best.

[dave a 24]

hi all i have a 1year old lurcher pup cant get any weight on her feed her a pound of tripe in morning with meal and again in the evening she is wormed to date i also mix some brown bread in her meals anyone no what i can give her when i take her out for a run when she gets back she looks terrible everything she has put on just falls strait back off

its a wonder its not dead my advice would be for you to give it to sombody that knows how to look after a dog

nothing wrong with bellies(tripe)you fukkin eejit,the lad is asking advice from men who have advice to offer not from you.

If your dog is running around and energetic it doesn't sound like it has any problems. Some dogs are just gangly when they are younger. The fat added to the diet mentioned earlier is a very good idea. If you do feed the pup table scraps be careful not to give it anything that could be harmful to it like onions. I fed my bitch loads when she was nursing to keep her and the pups in good condition. It does get a bit pricy but you can't really put a price on a good dog. Here's a link to dangerous foods

Good luck with your pup, it's obvious you care about it.

Interesting read I have a big bomb mincer all my food goes through it including scraps from the pub,now its gone cold put some gravy over it,The dogs never leave a scrap.

I also put garlic in once a week not a great deal though,I also feed sardines in oil cheap enough from aldi.Main food is fresh meat and bone from the butchers probably makes up 60percent of their diet.

 

The dog in question has it got Saluki in it I had a Saluki cross bitch once nightmare to keep weight on her, but absolute dynamite in the field.

some usefull advice there,how much does the dog weigh is the key to feeding
