Sarah Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Wow that's great news - calcium is important in their diet, mine love natural yoghurt I put 2 table spoons in with kibble in a morning and at night feed raw chicken wings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jintel Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 My two have a small amount of minced beef with a handful of quality kibble twice a day and they love it. Juno's actually putting on a bit of weight now as a result which is a relief! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucy Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Hi, my girls have a mixture....they get turkey mince, beef mince, turkey wings, coarse chicken mince, chicken wings, lamb ribs (plenty of diff things for them to get stuck into a nice variety!), and some veg with potatoe and pasta 3 times a week. I've put a link on before but all my stuff comes from http://www.landywoods.co.uk/ all defra approved! xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You spoil them;) one thing I would say though is to keep the veggies raw as well, ( making sure they are well mashed up) cooking them takes away alot of nutrients...

Bec Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 I agree with Smithy, I would feed the vegies raw and make sure they are well mashed up - because otherwise the dog won't digest them properly and they will just poo them out (yeah I know gross, just think of what happens if you give your dog a whole raw carrot to eat, it comes out in their poo!). I also wouldn't feed pasta, I don't feed grains of any kind and I also don't feed potato. Pumpkin is the only carb I give them. If you feed them enough you don't need to bulk the food out with grains... they have no nutritional value for the dog. Also - don't forget they do need some offal in their diet An adult should be eating 2-3% of their body weight each day. I feed a mixture of raw meaty bones; chicken wings/frames/necks, lamb necks/forequarters/flaps/shanks, turkey wings and necks etc. I also make up a BARF mix of human grade beef mince which I mix with lots of raw grated vegies and fruit (celery, pumpkin, apple, carrot, etc), natural yoghurt, a few tins of sardines and offal (I usually put chicken livers). I give this to the dogs a few times a week I do a big mix up and make several kilos of the mixture and freeze it in smaller containers so I can take them out to defrost as I please. When it comes to fish I feed sardines and mackeral and salmon if I can get some.

siberian_wolf Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 As we have only just started its mostly chicken, turkey, beef, bland veggies and fruit, natural yoghurt at the moment but next week we can start introducing other meats, organs and eggs to their diet.

MyMukki Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 we have a mushing friend who brings chicken legs as a gift when she visits.. nothing funnier than watching them walk around with them and they seem to last a while. Also, during hunting season, look for a butcher who is dressing game, they are not allowed to sell the meat here -so ours is very glad to give away all the bones and scraps! There is usually an amazing amount of meat on the bones -we are quite jealous! Our dogs had elk and venison this year. When Quinn, was very small, he would straddle the big bones like he was riding a horse! We try to save and freeze them but they never last long!
