Raw meat

[Guest pat-r-dale]

Hello guys i was wondering if I could get some expert knowledge from you??

 

Ive a 2yr old collie who ive always fed dry food and a 4m old patterdale which at the mo feed dry food.

All the terriers ive owned have always been on dry aswell.

 

I really want to start feeding raw meat but know nothing with regards to how much i should feed etc as ive always weighed dry food. Also should i get it from the butchers and what meat is best? Beef chicken etc.

 

Would my dogs get upset stomachs when i change it? I would obviously introduce over a week or so wouldnt I?

Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated as id reaaly like to start feeding it! Thanks, Neil.

yes you would be able to go over to something like the barf diet , you will see a big change in your dogs there is know reason why your dogs carnt change . i feed my dogs a whole range of meats an some vergs mixed up as well . ive been juiceing my veg which i add to the meat of late then freezeing in to cube makes it a lot easier when prepareing .

 

Good Veggies' & Fruits to Feed

(Foods you can feel good about feeding. Add lots of green leafy vegetables)

Courgettes-

Romaine (COS) Lettuce - High nutritional value

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 -

Bell Peppers (Capsicum) - red, green and yellow

Fresh Pumpkin (not the canned pie filling) -

Silver Beat -

Mustard Greens -

Dandelions -

Marrow-

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.

i feed them raw blitzed in the food processor with a little oil, the mix

should be like slop.

chuck a rabbit in the dog run mate for your dog and go to work and by the time you get home chances are it would of eat it,i feed all mine meat ranging from beef ,pork,chicken ,turkey,if its meat they have it,i do give them dry food as well but only if i forget to get food out of the freezer the day before,nothing complicated about it mate your dog will soon adjust,might prefer some types of meat to others but it will eat it,i worm my dogs every 3 months and they work as well as the next dog and look good on it,as far as how much food to feed it i make sure my dogs eat what they want,as long as they wormed they will not eat for the sake of it,my bull cross lurcher eats 3 turkey drumsticks and will also have 2 rabbit heads most days,get it down them ,keep hunting
