if you need to be feeding over 2lbs of meat to a pup to put weight on it then just goes to show how crap it is ... tripe is 70 - % moisture fact ... a pup is not going to get much out of that .........

 

i dont feed shop bort crap mate ,as little pups they ad more then 2lb a day now at there age there on 2lb ,and have been since 6 month of age ,mine all fresh and i cut it up and that my self ,whats the first thing they eat in the wild .its not the legs, back, is it ,ive tryed every thing, and this works for me,the photo speeks for its self.

The tripe and chicken I buy from a local place. The chicken is minced with bone, the tripe is chopped and not very processed. I do find the branded raw meats really mucky and watery, but it's the only type I can get for rabbit, beef and lamb. I also buy them kidney, heart and liver a few times a week. Plus, of course, the bones I give them. I don't give them pork bones 'cause some told me it's harder to digest?

 

I think I'll stick to the 2lb a day, but split it into three meals. She's growing so fast atm, pretty soon I'll just buy a saddle for her

 

I've found tripe to be really good for my grey tho. She was a bag of bones when I got her, I fed her up on the tripe till she got a bit chubby, then cut it back and added more of the higher protein meats and started running her more. Now she looks in superb shape and has levelled out at about 2lb of meat a day.

Hello Socks how much water has say....beef or chicken have in it then. Because I feed my dogs mainly tripe with some complete and it has always performed very well for me. Not to say they dont get whole carcases for time and at the moment day old chicks for the pups as well. I always thought tripe or offal was the most prized by preditors, I know it contains lots of fat.

My beddyxwhippet is 12 months old 18.5 tts and 24lbs,she gets two chicken wings in the morning and 1lb of raw last thing at night (unless she's out on the lamp) I alternate between WHOLE minced chicken,rabbit or beef,mixed with part cooked veg or biscuit,every other day i will replace the main meal with ox heart,or breast of lamb. As socks said tripe is all water and very little nutrition.

Mostly moisture as Socks said....great filler but nutritionally basic.

 

My pup is 17 weeks old now and he's on raw. He gets chicken/turkey necks, lamb breast, beef (neck and brisket), chicken frames and salmon frames.

Ice Berg Lettuce - has no nutritional value but is OK to feed. You can use

as a filler.

Tomatoes (avoid the leaves and stems) -

Carrots - These are high in sugars so be careful

Celery - Not much nutritional value but is a good diuretic.

Bok Choy -

Parsley-

Oranges -

Apples (not the seeds) -

peas-

Bananas -

Alfalpha Sprouts -

Caution Veggies' & Fruits

(Foods you can feed but with cautions)

 

Garlic - fed in small amounts is very beneficial for your dog. It is

considered natures antibiotic. However, to much can cause anemia and upset

stomach. So when making your veggie mix, use 1-3 cloves but no more.

Grapes / raisins- (in high amounts) Dogs exhibit gastrointestinal problems,

including vomiting and diarrhea and then signs of kidney failure with an

onset of severe kidney signs starting about 24 hours after ingestion of the

grapes or raisins.

Eggplant - OK to feed the fruit but avoid any other parts. They can cause

upset stomach, drooling, lethargy, heart failure

Avocados (& leaves) - Stay away from the leaves. The fruit part is OK to

feed in small amounts.

Spinach, Swiss Chard, and Rhubarb - OK in small amounts. While these are not

toxic, they are high in oxalic acid, a compound that interferes with calcium

absorption, so don't feed these very often.

Cabbage/Broccoli/Cauliflower - OK to feed in small amounts but may cause

gas. If fed frequently and in large amounts these will depress the thyroid.

Potatoes –

 

Cautions: If your dog is diabetic or has arthritis and has/had cancer then

you may want to stay away from underground veggies because they convert to

starch/sugar which aggravates arthritis. Cancer cells also thrive on sugars.

 

Bad Veggies' & Fruits

 

(Foods to be avoided all together)

Onions & (onion powder) - upset stomach, and can cause Heinz body anemia.
