Feel free to give reasons.

I try to feed variety best i can mate, one day il give them raw like breast of lamb with some exta lamb, the next day a meaty chicken carcass, then the next day il make them a stew such as for 3 dogs, around 21b of chunks of chicken i just boil it for 2 minutes no more, i add to that pasta rice or brown bread, maybe a few bits of leftovers, some slightly cooked raw veg or a large cup of frozen veg, mix it all up n add some keepers mix they love it, so i alternate the above through out the week, i give them a kibbel/meat meal about once a week and they get offal about once a week also.

Out of interest, why do you feed the kibble meal once a week?

variety seems to work for me , last night green tripe and dry, tonight fresh chicken wings, tomorrow we are having mackerel so they will get get that with dry chudleys, then every couple of days they get lamb or venison bones, don't know if it,s right or not but i never feed any of the dogs pork , heard it goes straight through dogs but i could be wrong .

My little Russell pup can't get enough rabbit at the minute, he loves the stuff. Even turns his nose up at his other food sometimes. Nice big portion of chicken went down well yesterday and other than that he likes minced beef. I tend to give a handfull of complete meal in now and again as a mixer as well as the odd egg or two. He is looking good for his age and the vet commented on his condition last week when we took him down for his advocate.

To those who feed Raw & Complete together, any reason for this ? Complete (dry or kibble) as the title goes, is a complete feed with nothing more required. Your thoughts and reasoning if you will.

I switched my dog back to raw last week after feeding redmills and Sneyds for about 6 months for convenience.

 

His dry, dull, dandruff covered coat is starting to look shiny. His energy levels have gone through the roof. And he's gone from doing 4-5 huge mashed potatoe like stools to just one small stool consisting of 3 or 4 cocktail sausage size lumps.

 

So i no longer spend half an hour each day cleaning the yard as he just does one on a walk so I spend the extra time preparing some decent grub for him.

 

He has also stopped drinking a litre of water a day.

i only feed raw meat (mainly from durham animal feeds ) tinned pilchards 1 or 2 times per week ,raw rabbit (cant get enough of it ),1 egg each once per week ,a small amount of liver approx the size of a 50p piece 2 times per week ,i started feeding raw 3 years ago and the dogs have never looked better ,brilliant white teeth ,no doggy breath ,nice shiney coat ,and the only crap about a third of the amount they used to, i also find its as cheep or cheeper than buying kibble and you know what there eating ,on rare occasions they get the odd bit of veg or left over dinner .
