Try this stuff if your wanting to keep it on biscuits good quality stuff and the dogs donto shite alot on it 1 1 Quote Link to post

Not really mate if you want to feed raw I’d look in to it properly there’s a bit more to it than just feeding a bit of mince chicken I’d suggest looking on to a few fb raw feeding groups till you get the swing of things I use this chart as a guide line but not gosp 2 1 Quote Link to post
Gilbey 1,470 Posted February 24, 2018 Report Share Posted February 24, 2018 if you prefer biscuits there's loads of options these days, allergy foods, grain free, gluten free, blah blah 3 Quote Link to post

slip lead 862 Posted February 24, 2018 Report Share Posted February 24, 2018 If you think your dogs diet, is lacking in all the important vitamins and minerals needed for a working dog, (and do not wont to use a good biscuit) just add some sf50. Quote Link to post

My mate works at large dog, stock feed manufacturers and I would never feed biscuit to my dogs, all top foods are made at this place and you would never feed your dogs on it if you saw what goes into it, the only protein that goes into all kibble is oils no meat at all. And the odd cat, rat that gets stuck in machines over night. Edited February 25, 2018 by Jerry71 Quote Link to post
Pirate 9000 676 Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 The problem with chicken mince can be the quality, is it minced chicken or minced carcass to totally different products, I used to buy minced carcass from a chap it was OK but got a contact to take bruised whole chicken 100% better feed mixed with 20% biscuit dogs have never been in such great condition and kept weight on even when worked 3 to 4 days a week over winter. 1 Quote Link to post

tsteve9999 456 Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 Personally I wouldn't feed mine just one meat, I'd be worrying they were missing out on something. Mine get minced beef, tripe, chicken and lamb and seem to do well on it 2 Quote Link to post

Mine get minced beef, tripe, chicken and lamb and seem to do well on it raw mince chicken plus dry meal meal , mine do well on it, the dry meal will have better balanced diet than just meat. just watch dogs eating fresh grass , apart from it tastes nice , dogs know it does them good , mine do it all the while ,. get my raw mince chicken from T P M S same as what ken says ,= 100 lb bags £ 52 quid , plus i can get big beef bones from them as well , you pay for them but i dont mind as carnt always get bones of my local butchers . plus the amount of meat you feed, depends i think how much work you give your dogs , both my dogs will put weight on, if dont cut meat back , so the cost not to bad , as don't work my dogs that much now, but sombody who works there dogs regular , it would prob work out more money giving more meat .

Personally, I prefer to feed the dogs on the whole raw carcasses. Chicken bone is soft and doesn't offer much in the way of knawing exercise for a dog, but I feel eating, them gives the jukel a wee bit of entertainment. When feeding raw chicken carcass, get bones for calcium, marrowbone, fat, bit of flesh, can't beat it! I also get chicken pulls, and the leftover lamb rib & backbones bones, 2 meals for a £1, lamb hearts, chicken necks, turkey necks and mince mixed with veg . Would only feed raw now, think it works out cheaper and better value than processed food 2 Quote Link to post
