KodaGypsy 0 Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 The amount you need to feed her depends on size,age and activity. Adults normally have between 2-3% of their bodyweight. Youngsters and puppies need more up to about 10% of their adult weight. If you want to try Barf try your local butcher, SPR at Fontwell do frozen food they also have kennel packs which is 40 units of food for around £22 mark may be a little more now. They only seem to have Tripe and Beef and Tripe in this size. The quality is good my two ate it but I don't want to feed tripe all the time. I am trying a new chap at the moment he gets his meat from Durham Animal Supplies the quality is excellent and he charges £7.50 delivery to me or you can collect but he is in Kent. He only delivers once every 4 weeks. If you want his details let me know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

skycat 6,174 Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 You should feed a dog a lot more varied a diet than just chicken carcases if you want it to remain in good health. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Westy76 546 Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Cheers kodagypsy I keep looking at that place in fontwell when I pick up scrap up just down the road,do they do greyhound biscuit to? Ferretpete there's a barf website with a list of butchers local to your area who supply to dog owners and all the ones I've tried I done well with,I get boxes of chicken carcasses for just under a tenner off 1 just needs 48hrs notice.
