bird 9,986 Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Because meat and rice alone would lack in vitimins. Not needed if your feeding complete but I don't if I can help it. And in the winter when the dogs are working 3/4 times a week I add electrolyte powder to keep them hydrated. yeh meat on its own to much pro%, i give 1 lb raw mince chicken with rabbit or what ever meat and mixed with complete meal, will do the same with my 1x gsd x grey pup. Being doing the same for 25 years with all my lurchers. Bryn he looks ok on it . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I give tripe twice a week, meat, offsl and bones with keepers mix twice a week and chicken mince, brown bread, steamed veg packet and cod liver oil twice a week. On day 7 I feed a couple of Tins of fish. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
staffyspen 43 Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 Raw veg mix any good as it can be bought for around 60p for a lb? I do have liver chunks also, forgot to mention. Brown bread? I can get mackerel on the cheap sometimes, is that ok? Is mixer very nessersary? I feed burns to my staffords but want a raw diet for the bed x whip and might turn to raw for the rest if I can master it! Thnaks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thnaks It can be a very broad and in depth subject mate and everyone will tell you differently. Where do you get that veg from? Is it minced? Should do the job a few times a week. I dont see the point in feeding dry kibble if feeding a good VARIED raw diet. I was feeding 2 meals a day until recently, rack of lamb ribs in the morning and then a meal of meat, brown bread and veg in the evening. However the meal of bone on its own was proving tough on the stomach and the dog was shitting balls of chalk. So now I just feed one meal at night. I try to aim for tripe twice a week, meaty butchers scraps and offal twice a week, chicken mince twice a week and tinned fish in tomatoe once a week. Every day she gets the above with a slice of brown bread and a couple of chicken wings, half a rack of ribs or a chicken carcass. On the chicken mince days she gets a good glug of cod liver oil and on the meat and offal days she gets a teaspoon of keepers mix. She is doing ok on it i think...

Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 Also you questioned brown bread, I find it fills them up and satisfys them a bit and also the fibre helps produce a good stool. Sort of use it where others would use a mixer when feeding raw, but without all the chemicals and heat treatment. I get the 45p loaves of wholemeal from Aldi, get them 3 at a time and freeze, just take out a slice each morning to defrost with everything else. Gaz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
