I AM GOING TO BUY A LURCHER PUP AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT IS THE BEST FOOD ( TINNED OR BISCUIT ) AND MAKE THAT COULD BE RECOMMENDED FOR FEEDING .I WOULD BE GRATEFUL FOR ANY POSITIVE SUGGESTIONS.THANKS.

TRIPE, till they are abit older bulks them up lovely, a good start for them to :D

Tripe on it's own is no good to man or beast, there's not enough in it on it's own to sustain a pup. A good greyhound complete food with Raw meat (fed seperatly) i feed pups at 8 weeks 4 meals a day. 2 meals of soaked complete greyhound racer and 2 meals of raw meat (usually lamb or chicken) i don't feed tripe.

I use Chudleys greyhound racer, it's a little more expensive than others but i find it the only feed that will keep weight on my whippets when i work them hard. Even when i feed it without meat. Plus i found i don't need to feed as much, so in the long run it works out about the same price.

if you want the best for your pup then stay away from commercial dog food its all shite,feed raw and stick to it,your dog will be healthier because of it ;)

I don't agree with all commercial food being shite. You do actually get what you pay for.

I was speaking to the vet when i took my bitch for a booster and they see alot of dogs that are fed on Barf that are suffering different ailments due to the owners not feeding barf properly. Some just feed raw meat and bones without the vedge etc. It's a topic that will run and run, as i said i've fed both and i now feed a commercial food with raw lamb (fed at seperate times) and it suits my dogs who work well on that diet..

australian diet is good stuff

sorry mate but the vet is the last person you wanna ask about feeding your dogs,who do you think sponsors their veterinary schools :hmm: they'l all recommend complete shite as it keeps them in work,treating all the ailments that occur through this type of filth,and as for the owner not feeding barf properly,well thats the owners fault id say,its got feck all to do with the barf diet,if fed correctly your dog will thrive on it and stop you paying many visits to those money grabbing b*****d :victory:

DID i say i asked my vet about my dogs diet? i didn't i said they had had problems in the past with dogs that were fed barf incorrectly.

I've had dogs for over 25 years mate and i've fed both diets with success. I keep whippets now and i find a complete diet fed with raw lamb works best for them. (fed at seperate times).. As for visiting the vets i visit once a year with each dog for there annual booster..

This is my whippet bitch i'm running at the moment, 20" and 30lb i'm more than happy with her condition..
