Raw Feed

[Lukey12 126]

How much raw food are you feeding your terriers daily? What other food sources are you supplementing it with.. thanks

[leethedog 3,071]

750 grams of beef mince between 2 terriers or 2 chicken quarters each a day and left over veg when they get it

Sf50 is very good for growing pups lactating bitches or dogs that can get stressed/worked.

 

 

You will get people saying,they dont need it if getting proper diet.

 

So why do greyhound trainers use supplements as Well as racehorse trainers.

 

 

All the old boys said bread and milk was fine how wrong was they.....

Grey hound and race house trainers use supplement because their animals need it when worked hard most days. Most terriers aren't at best they would be out 3 or 4 times in a week working if they are lucky Edited February 8, 2017 by leethedog

The feeding of greyhounds and racehorses is an exact science because the clock is your master. Everyone in that game is treating their animals to the best of their ability but the man who's animal is a fraction of a second faster than his opponent has the winner.

Terriers on the other hand are a hunting dog who's ability is measured differently. Common sense is the secret to feeding terriers and it's obvious that good meat is better than anything that comes out of a bag or a can.

I feed pasta too a few times a week but often wonder do dogs need carbs but they do eat it. I have one bitch who'll eat the pasta in her bowl before the chicken drumstick that's there too.

I give cod liver oil and garlic capsules too as it does no harm.

The best thing IMO a terrierman can do to feed his terriers properly is to have good relationship with his local butcher. Terriers will thrive of butchers waste.

Regarding how much to feed a terrier ?

That's best judged by your eye .

They're all different. I have a bitch here who's always tubby, yet some days I feel I give the ferret more than she gets.

So your saying a greyhound running once a week is burning more calories and more stress to the body than a terrier thats been to ground....

Feed the best you can afford and judge the amount by what you see next time you feed it .To rate running dogs as equals to terriers in food required is silly .No greyhound man will feed fat of any sort when the dog is racing regular ,two totally different events requiring different approaches .I never sort the food I get .Cold days require a fat diet content in a terrier as this is where reserves come from .Greyhounds arnt conditioned to carry reserves ,its a balls out event .Greyhounds are rugged as soon as race is over whereas terriers are boxed ,walked on .The only thing I won't feed is tripe as it stinks going in and coming out but others do .Beef ,chicken ,cooked veg and table scraps here and no complaints .

A greyhound man close to me feeds boiled chicken to his dogs, skinned, he gives them 25 or 30 minutes before he puts his fingers down their necks to make them throw it up, says they've got the best out of it by then, seen him do it, and he gets winners consistently.

My own dogs get dry nuts and table scraps 5 days a week and raw rabbit(only gutted) twice a week, good for their jaws and burning off excess energy, minced meat no good imo. Also I feed warm wet grub if dog has had a hard working day.

Greyhound trainers aren't too concerned about the dog making old bones or keeping it's teeth in good condition either.

Because it thins the blood ?

I've been giving all my livestock garlic for years with no side effects. I usually give it for 6 or 7 days and then off for a week or two.

Young poultry have it in their water 24/7.

I always find it strange people just feeding raw and thinking there dogs are better off, where's the science? I've fed complete working dog food all my life a will continue to it's great no mess and there has been a lot on money spend on developing it for every thing a dog need protein carbs vitiamins and minerals, my old head keeper fed tripe and raw what a f**k on chest freezers everywhere full of the stuff and it stinks actually cost more than complete dog food and his dogs were still crap

because you will never beat nature and dogs have evolved to eat raw meat ... just the same as there's been a lot of money spent on milk substitutes but you will never beat mothers milk ......

Sounds like a complete prick that's talking utter bollox ......

Mary, that is a very strange one IMO.

Does his dog have a normal crap the next morning ?

I'd have to spend an entire day with a successful greyhound trainer without taking my eye off him for a second if that's the way he said he feeds.

There is no way at all that any animal has taken all the goodness out of it's food within a half an hour.
