andyrose 8 Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 Anyone give me some advice on feeding raw, what carbs does everyone feed and how much, I know they need about 2% of their body weight in meat, but how much cars? Also does anyone feed wood pigeon and would the lead shot do any harm? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Giro 2,648 Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 I would take it easy on the cars & lead shot 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

andyrose 8 Posted September 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 Food for thought, so to speak. Why the chopped toms? Not something I'd thought of feeding,I run out of dry food tomorrow would you swap the diet straight over or do it gradual? Cheers for the help? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers for the help tomatoes on recommendation. a few on here do it. i started by mixing with complete but i think i'd go straight over if i did it again as digestion times of raw and complete are very different. my dog is noticeably better on raw. i'm feeding chicken carcasses. i chop em into chunks. not as the dog can't handle em just so i can bag up in the right weight. also gets fed any butchers trim i pick up.

The digestion thing is nonsense. Pasta and raw digest at different rates. Pie and chips digest at different rates. I've fed raw and complete together many many times and never had an issue. I feed the same as you now though. Pasta or brown bread, raw meat, bit of fat and bone, eggs and oily fish once or twice a week and tin tomatoes most days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

socks 32,253 Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 Dry complete meal digests far slower than meat that's a proven fact ... I knew this to be the case but I didn't realise how much difference there was until an incident occurred with one of my dogs the other day that proved it to me ... The thread is on here ....... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
