tote 856 Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 Just about to start a new topic with the same question. I've got mine on 'harringtons' at te minute. Wanting to change to gain as I can get it delivered to the door for a decent price. So what would you reccomend for a 19inch whippet. Gain 28 or 20. I'm a novice with all this. Thanks Doesn't matter if it's a 19" Whippet or a 32" Deerhound, what matters is if it's grafting or resting. As a rough guide the 28% for a dog in work and 20% for a resting diet. That said I prefer to feed as much meat as I can get, don't think you can beat it. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B.P.R 2,798 Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 I don't really run mine hard if I'm honest. They get out but not what I would call 'hard'. They get -90% raw diet and use the dried as a mixer/ or if I'm away eg camping at shows. So for me you reccomend the '20'? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

B.P.R 2,798 Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 spot on is there a 'negative' to giving a dog too much protein as opposed to not enough? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
billy whizz 141 Posted April 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 the more you exercise the more protein you need as your body breaks down muscle then need protein to repair and rebuild new muscle.im same as you mine are out alot but not grafted to the max so i feel 20 to 23 percent is enough for mine id say they get off cuts and fish ect so there doing ok. hard to find this gain stuff though for me found one place but they want 7 quid postage?? anywere decent online i can get this cant get it in shops were i am either!

Maximus Ferret 2,063 Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 I feed gain record breaker because it's based on meat rather than vegetable protein. I also buy a ten kilo box of chicken necks from the chicken factory each week. This costs 5 euro and I split it into 7 bags and feed a bag a day, split between two 24 inch lurchers and a 23 inch whippet. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
