I add cod liver oil a couple or three times a week - no hard and fast measure just pour a bit onto their meat.

a spoon or 2 of cod liver oil in sum goats milk with an egg or 2.

2 or 3 times a week

I use a little cod-liver oil, teaspoon couple of times a week, it may help with skin condition although the evidence isn’t great. I don’t use general supplements like keepers mix as my dogs get a good diet. Giving excess vitamins may well do more harm than good and in truth with for a healthy animal on a sensible diet they are more a tax on the gullible than there are use to the dog.

Thanks for all the replies.

 

Sandymere - I was planning to supplement the diet with dorwest keepers mix and easy green daily to get the vitamins in as I find feeding veg a ball ache, either cooking it or mincing it and mixing with the food.

 

How many times a week would you say veg needs feeding? If not feeding a complete or any supplements?

 

The diet consist of...

 

Eggs

Goats milk

Various meat

Chicken wings

Lamb ribs

Tripe

Brown bread

Brown rice

Offal

 

Cheers

Unless you're getting the goat's milk for free, I wouldn't bother: adult dogs don't need milk. As for the veg: why not mix up a week's worth at a time and freeze in small bags, enough for each day, then all you need to do is get it out of the freezer. I do use Keepers Mix or Kelp, but not all the time, once a week or so: a good varied diet should give the dog everything it needs, but do give it veg. Do you have a mincer? If so, it shouldn't take you more than ten minutes or so to mince a week's worth. No need to cook it if it is minced.

I get the missus to cook a little extra as and when, most evening there’s a few peas, mixed veg etcetera left over. This morning they got chicken wings with a new potato and about a table spoon of veg scraps. Tomorrow it might be some complete the next half a rabbit with a few table scarps and a cup of complete. If your feeding brown bread/rice or a complete they should be getting plenty of fibre so the veg just top up a few odd vitamins.

Thanks for the further replies.

 

Think I will invest in a mincer
