Feeding Pups Raw

[jagd.lad 31]

how much should i be giving my 8week old jagd terrier per day? im feeding her on raw chicken mince 3 times a day but unsure if im giving her too much or shes just not eating well enuff as she dont seem to eat a right lot she weights 2.2kg

at that age i let them eat as much as they like. sooner see a pudgy little pup than a bag of bones! better to see a bit left in the bottom of the bowl. as long as she looks ok then she's probably getting enough

I would just pile the meat into her, this is how i feed my pup, any left overs go into a secure bag and go into my dog fridge.

I also have a bowl of Gain Puppy and Sapling which is fed ad lib, and he can help himself when he wants.

If you are buying ready minced pet food chicken then the chances are it will have a lot of water in it. Best to mince your own if possible. Also, chicken alone isn't the very best diet: try to use red meat as well: B vitamins and iron etc in that. Tiny bit of liver, cooked is more acceptable to dogs, every week. Tin of sardines once or twice a week. The more variety you use the better balanced the diet will be.

 

Dogs fed on raw diet don't need as much in terms of quantity as dogs fed on a complete dry food: I know that doesn't make sense considering there is more water content in raw food, but it's true.

 

I've sent you a pm.
