what to feed

[sandymere 8,263]

I’d wait until next season prior to any serious work. Most reasonable puppy feeds will give a reasonable result but adding a little variety is not a bad idea. I give table scraps daily as a source of veg and feed meat & bones a couple of times a week in the form of rabbit, waste part of breast of lamb ( free from good butchers) or other butchers waste. There is a risk in feeding bones etc but personally feel the positive aspects outweigh the negative just don’t overdo bones to the point of constipation. The source of protein isn’t that important as long as the majorities from an animal source, the basic amino acids are the building blocks and what count and it doesn’t really matter where they come from as long as they are there in a digestible form and the processing allows that.

HAVE TO AGREE REDMILLS IS SHIT MATE RUNS STRAIGHT THROW THEM I FIND THE BETA PUPPY TO BE A LOT BETTER AND RAW

MEAT IS THE BEST THING FOR YOUR DOGS JUST TRY AND MIX IT UP BEEF ONE WEEK CHICKEN THE NEXT AND SO ON CAN ALWAYS

COOK IT IF YA WANT SOME RIB BONES AS WELL GOOD FOR THE TEETH STOP IT CHEWING EVERYTHING

IF YA ARE FEEDING RABBITS TAKE THE MEET OF THE BONES JUST SO YOU DONT GET ANY STICKING IN ITS MOUTH

I skin, gut and freeze for a couple of weeks before feeding to the dogs so the link is less strong although I'm sure they know what they are. A hard mouth is more to do with entering and breeding than feeding so feeding defrosted rabbit shouldn't make a lot of difference.

cheers guys i may go out at the weekend and shoot a few rabbits and the lad i go lamping with feeds his lurcher bitch that beta greyhound stuff ill change to that when this bag is empty,,,

Just to save you a bit of hassle, mix the beta 50/50 with the excel so it's a gradual change over. Some dogs get an upset tum with food changes.
