Ads 39 Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 I do mate, I mix it all up in a bucket. About 3kg meat, bit of pasta, veg, brown bread bits of offal, heart, liver etc and about 40ml of cod liver oil unless I put mackerel in with it all. I don't know if that's enough or too much oil to be honest but I'm sure it can't be bad for them. How much do you use pal? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

oddser 79 Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 if you are feeding mainly meat veg brown bread to get a balanced diet you need to feed vitmin E and calcium codliver oil 3 times week you need the vit E for muscle you need the calcium for bone you cant get enough calcium from feeding bones its easy to find out if your diet is working for your dog go have a full blood profile done Quote Link to post Share on other sites
teesshikari 7 Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 I only have the one pooch so cost not that much. I give a tablespoonful with his morning feed every day. I just get the three for two offer from tesco. I think his coat is in better nick since I used it but I mainly use it to look after his joints for when he gets older.

Do you think they still need the vitamin e and calcium? And where do you get it please? They sell greyhound vitamins in a local pet shop in powder form, is this what I want? Can't think what it's called, think it might begin with G or something though! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oddser 79 Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 yes a good multi vitamin will do I get my stuff from Richard torr vet he sells natural vit E and the calcium I also get Iorn from him but you can get it on line Quote Link to post Share on other sites
