Thinking Of Feeding Raw

[jessythewhippet 25]

Thinking of changing from Dry food (Redmills) to Raw beef if so how much would you recommend roughly a day she should get eg. (1lb - 2lb) and also what else should she get on a day to day basis eg brown bread.

Also have heard of people feeding veggies what sort and do you boil them or what

 

She is a Pure KC Whippet and is around nearly 16kg

 

My reasons for the decision to change to RAW is that i have seen dogs on here on raw and they look very very well

 

Thank you

BUMP!

 

She gets a 3.5mile walk everyday and also gets about 5 to 6 runs on the lure anout 4 to 5 times a week

If you've done the research then you'll have an idea

I'm in the same situation as you. I found a book on amazon with some "recipes". Also try typing "barf calculator" into google.

JT that was a pretty useless comment lol

I'm pretty useless anyway ...try a pound a day ..mix in a handful of brownbread /pasta / rice. every alternate day ..on the other day put a handful of grated fruit or veg in . If your dog gets fat cut the portion in half ...when its back to its weight ..put it on 3/4 of the original. If the meat you feed is fatty it'll put weight on ..if its lean it might lose ... a bit of trial and error mate and you'll soon know what's right for your dog after a while

Thanks and I have heard people writing about bones being good whatsort of bones

[Guest jt750]

The meat i get has bone already in ...i like chicken wings ..ribs ..i don't give load bearing bone as it tends to be hard enough to chip or even break teeth ..raw of course

What about if i fed minced beef how would i get bones into their diet?

[Guest jt750]

If your meat is dog grade meat it will have muscle/bone/offal and organ meat already in it..failing that use chicken wings as treats ..i use a spread of meat beef/chicken/lamb and fish..at the moment i'm getting pigeon carcass for them

So maybe i should feed half pound of mince and a hald pound of chicken wings and when you talk about brown bread how many slices per day

I give my Whippet pup three Chicken wings for breakfast, easy way to do it.
