Neil Cooney. 1 Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 I can't believe your being told to keep a pup fat. Keep it healthy. And it's fine to take a pup away after 5 weeks especially if it's going to get plenty of human contact. And at that age meat is fine if it's the right sort of meat. I cut tripe up fine for pups from 5 weeks on, minced would be better. Remember when changing any dogs diet young or old, do it gradually. A fat pup can be a sign of a wormy pup. Quote Link to post
whippeter94 0 Posted May 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 thanks neil for backing me up and thanks for the advice mate Quote Link to post
hairybull 3 Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 My pups from an early age (soon as they'll eat meat) get good qual puppy biscuits soaked in milk or water, lamb/goat/beef/chicken mince and meat on the bone (roo/goat/lamb) they'll suck on it and gnaw on it especially when their teeth come through. Keep up with the worming and plenty of tucker for the next few months. Good luck with her. Quote Link to post

I am saying nothing to this, only that worm you pup then have it fat!"! And go get the tripe tested, you will be amazed at what you find. Bye Quote Link to post
