LouiseMessenger Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 Hello all, My husband and I have just re-homed a lovely 18month male Husky called Duke, we are new to the breed with background research done before hand. He hasnt had the best start in life and hope that we can give him everything he needs to be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LouiseMessenger Posted November 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 He is very cute, but not vaccinated, flea, wormed and underweight! He has a bit of separation anxiety at the moment which we need to see a trainer/behavioral specialist next week about. I am having an issue getting him to eat anything, he hasnt eaten anything for three days except a 375g pack of beef strips which he stole off the kitchen side whilst we were out. He sticks his nose up at the dry food we were given with him and we didnt want to change his food until he settled a bit more but might have to. I am reading a lot about a RAW diet being better for them, the vet suggested a dry diet only... Has anyone got any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfpup Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 Quite a few of us here feed raw. Below are lots of articles to get you started - Its reallly not difficult. If you need to know anything specifically just shout. My old dog, Lunar, had the runs for the first three years of his life until I managed to get him onto raw - he never looked back. https://www.dogsnaturallymagazine.com/starting-puppy-on-raw-diet/ https://www.carnivora.ca/html/carnivora-dogs/Puppy-Nutrition/index.cfm https://www.dogsnaturallymagazine.com/raw-diets-for-dogs-getting-enough-vitamins-and-minerals/ I have broken this last one down in to a simple to read and use spreadsheet.

chelseafan Posted November 21, 2018 Report Share Posted November 21, 2018 Hi, he’s a handsome boy! My vet turned her nose up when I told her my 2 are raw fed, I’m thinking they don’t think we’re capable of doing it correctly and they stock dry food in the vet surgery, so it’s in their interest to promote it.Sent from my iPhone using Husky Owners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
