mushroom 12,972 Posted September 10, 2019 Report Share Posted September 10, 2019 Skinners wasn't bad when I was in Blighty. Here, I tend to feed raw more than anything due to the state of kibble (a decent brand will break the bank at 60€ a smallish bag) Those pig trotters are a God send in the mountains. Plenty of fats and meat to keep them going, added with a bit of fatty/meaty butcher scraps. He'll easily go through a kilo and a trotter a day, when we go high up and never looks bad or loses condition and we can be away and at it, for days Quote Link to post
Dinosaurs 2,099 Posted September 30, 2019 Report Share Posted September 30, 2019 Just quick update been feeding my 3 lurchers on Royal Canin for last 6weeks just gradually adding more each week & cutting back on raw. They still get meat with it but get just kibble 2/3 times a week. Shit been firm but a lot less of it? Ive always thought they all had good coats but have noticed coats improved. I know winter coats coming through but still better than usual. Energy levels good aswell Atb 1 Quote Link to post

hambone 950 Posted October 13, 2019 Report Share Posted October 13, 2019 I gave the Lidl stuff a go after reading on here about it and it went through my spaniels like a hot ball bearing thru butter. Tried it dry had weird yellowish shit, tried it soaked and got sloppy yellowish shit. Back to Dr Johns and no prob. Also boil up chicken mince with veg and pasta or rice with no problems.

Greb147 6,809 Posted June 3, 2020 Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 (edited) Does raw actually make that much of a difference than a kibble that suits your dog? Yes dogs evolved from the wolf but in by doing so they became more accustomed to carbs by living with humans. Even wolves don't just eat meat alone. What advantages do you actually see? They don't live any older or anything so what improves? Edited June 3, 2020 by Greb147 Quote Link to post

Dont think one or the other is the answer because feeding purely a BARF diet I’ve noticed they struggle to hold weight when they’re being worked hard Quote Link to post
