Cudleys Greyhound Crunch

[Giro 2,648]

I got a bag of that Cudleys dried meat.. 50 odd % protein..

 

On the bag it suggests to be fed soaked and with mixer..

 

How much do people use - compared to fresh meat ?? lb of soaked for 2lb of fresh ??

 

I would think some of that and a high protein dry would be to much ???

 

How do you lads use it ???

 

Cheers

Ask Fuji mate he swears by it, i got couple sacks on order with feed shop down road but not here yet, I was planning to look back an see what he said or pm him if I couldn't find it, let me know what you end up doing with it and how mutts get on with it please giro

[Giro 2,648]

Aye, will do captain..

 

I Only got a sack as I seen it today in the shop and from what Andy wrote about it..

 

Just need the quantities - general rule of thumb ..

 

Some lad I know recons you feed that with pasta & veg mix , no cibble..

 

 

I feed chicken necks - carcasses or mince with high grade cibble..

 

Thought I might just give this a wirl and keep it in encase I forget to defrost me stuff..

I think I'll boil it up with some brown pasta an veg for before/after a good few shifts in a dark week, if anything it will just be a change

That's what to do....don't feed every day....add it 2/3 times a week as an add on.....soak it in hot water and add to their normal meat/veg/pasta or whatever...can give them the shits if you feed too much..... It's good stuff....

Borderscot would you feed after a good shift on the lamp?

Yep, it's good stuff but it'd be too much to feed it as the main meat source every day....some of it is about 60% protein....dogs like it though.....

I feed my older dogs it dry but soak it for pups found it spot on and handy when you carnt get raw meat I mix it with a greyhound mix but don't give them a lot just half a pot noodle carton with 2full ones of gain and dogs dog look bad on it

[robin hood 109]

thats in tip top shape samba,a mate of mine boils it about a handful to there dinner

[Giro 2,648]

Cheers for feedback lads..

 

Will have myself a pot noodle and measure it out..

 

Would folks feed pups under six months more frequently with the dry stuff or keep it to a few times a week and older dogs when the grafts more challenging ??

I give my pup a bit in with her food,just dry. She would eat it all the time but would shit bad

Probably best fed as a protein supplement rather than all the time, especially if feeding with high protein complete. After a hard night as BS suggests or when injured as there will be a need for a protein boost and occasionally for growing pups.

 

Protein has its place but like everything else it needs to be in balance with the other nutrients. It's a poor energy source compared with fat and carbs and excess beyond what is needed for growth and repair is a waste. Very high amounts could potentially cause some problems, fresh meats tends to only have 20% or less but supplies lots of calories from the fat it contains.

i used to use a dried meat (cant remember the brand) if a dog wasnt holding weight well when in hard work. i would give it half a cupful twice daily as well as its normal meat ration. you could almost see the flesh coming back on i think the stuff i had was about 70% protein. i would use the same again if i had the same problem.
