shaun1986 11 Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 hi everyone been a while since ive posted on here but im just after a bit of advise, struggling with keeping condition in my lurchers and my retired greyhound. theyve been on rufus working dog complete for last 4 months and ive noticed a massive changed in there condition so i got recommended redmills treacker by a freind and ive seen his dog and looks in good condition, now ive been reading on here that redmills is a load of shit. so... i like my dogs looking there best so would i be better off fedding them 100% raw meat? theres a local company that sells raw meat for dogs chicken, beef, tripe at around 35p a lb so not to expensive. My terrier seems fine and is in good condition its mainly my collie bull grey that seems to have a shit coat and dry skin. is it ok to feed 100% raw? please help lol thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

B.P.R 2,798 Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 Gain 28 is a good food and is highly reccomended. Comes at a reasonable price too. http://www.lawsonanimalfeeds.co.uk/gain-feeds/119-gain-28.html This is what I use along with raw and wouldn't change it now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paulus 26 Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 its very hard to beat a good well balanced barf diet, yes it takes more time and effort than just picking up a bag of complete and chucking it in a bowl,but the difference it makes to the overall condition of the dogs is more than worth that extra bit of time and effort Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shaun1986 11 Posted July 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 (edited) well picked up a load of chicken mince today £10 worth at 35p a lb. shall i mix it with the red mills? or give it on its own?? they get fed twice a day and once a day if there out that night. thanks Edited July 18, 2012 by shaun1986 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
patterdalejoel 669 Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 my pup was on just dry food, she never thrived on it, just survived. she was too skinny for me, but the meat along with good excercise has put her in very good condition. i think its good for them to have a meal as well, not picking from a bowl now and then. and crunching bones, etc is stimulatiing and gets them working and less bored.

milliken 810 Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 well picked up a load of chicken mince today £10 worth at 35p a lb. shall i mix it with the red mills? or give it on its own?? they get fed twice a day and once a day if there out that night. thanks i would nt mix it just plend up a bit of veg mix it with the chicken and 5ml of oil the coat will be gleeming in no time but make sure you give them a good worming out as no matter what you do if the dog is wormie it wont look its best robert Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sandymere 8,263 Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 Most seem to find that using a complete with the addition of some meat and bones etc give good results. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Attack Fell Terrier 864 Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 IMO feeding RAW with the addition of a decent dry food is the best. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
