Who the hell would feed their dogs cucumber? Seriously! It's nearly all water, the skin is hard as feck to digest for humans, let alone dogs, and the  amount of minerals it contains is negligible.

If there eat it An it’s going spare I’d treat them to a bit got to be better than binning something you’ve payed for it can’t be a bad thing treating a dog to something high in h2o

Im thinking of buying some chicken mince with 10-15% bone added.

Does anyone have any advice on what sort of things should I be giving my dog with the chicken to make sure he's getting everything he needs ?

i want to feed him raw all the time I just don't know what he needs as the minimum.

 

any help appreciated thanks

I’ve gone back to feeding all raw after trying a racing greyhound style diet, dabbling with complete mixed in and carbs. My dog had soft shit the whole time. I use this site as a guide https://perfectlyrawsome.com/

This is a typical meal for my beddy whippet. He puts some shift in so needs quite a bit. Currently 550g in the evening. I prefer 20% bone in the diet, keeps things nice and firm. I also feel 10% organ meat is far too much, out of the 550g I feed 30g liver and that’s plenty. Hope it helps. Been feeding raw for a few years now

Thank you mr Lloyd, take a bit of experimenting and making friends with butchers to get to that stage. That bowl of food cost no more than 20p

That’s what I thought But was interested in the carbs benefit as it was bought up I’ve no problems how or about feeding raw I think I’ve mastered it I can understand about Salukis or heavy saluki blooded dogs as in Arab countries I bet there main diet would be a high carbohydrate base diet based on the types of food Arabs eat.the same said about dogs fed entirely on chicken frames I bet there poo is like talcum powder an calcium levels through the roof

Carbohydrates are a completely natural energy source for both humans and dogs. Its actually unnatural to feed a dog a raw diet unless it is a husky.  Carbohydrates have enabled Wolves (marathon runners) to evolve to sprinting dogs. The benefits for both humans and dogs is that carbs give us easy access to an energy source. this is important when a dog (or human) is repeatedly sprinting.  If we don't have access to carbs we have to use protein and/or fat but this is less efficient, especially if no carbohydrate is present. The balance of protein to fat is different for different dogs but a higher fat diet is better for greyhound type dogs.

Think of it this way. 

• No carb diets can help fat people loose weight and models stay thin 
• High protein diets can help body builders increase bulk 
• Olympic sprinters have a mixed diet of carbs, fat and protein

This is what mine get daily .... Beef venison lard mixed veg tomatoe apple cider vinegar sf50 and turmeric ........

[C.green 3,231]

I know a few and have done myself in the past feed complete with a cheap tin of beef n veg stew over the top and odd bit of cheap chicken didnt do the dogs no harm. 

 

Fed alot of venison aswell but found its better when mixed with fatty flesh.

I allways thought it was a no no vinegar in a metal bowl ?

 

Turmeric is great stuff do you ever break them from the supplements ? As in two weeks off week on ect.

Stainless steel is non reactive so it's fine mate .... they come off the sf50 when their not working hard mate but the pup will be on it daily until she is around 14 months .......
