Dales Hunter 22 Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Just wondered if anyone had any particularly firm feelings on puppy food? The young lad I've somehow adopted came with a bag of cheapish looking puppy food and wondered if anyone cared to share any tried and tested methods before I purchase some more? Thanks in advance!

iworkwhippets 12,247 Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) get your pup on a decent quality complete puppy food matey, eukanuba i suggest, nowt wrong with feeding raw to a pup though, ask your butcher for some scraps Edited January 13, 2015 by iworkwhippets 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MickyB 327 Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) Raw all the way, I'd put a bit of research into it but imo you cant go wrong with raw meat and bone raw chicken wings are good but keep it varied Edited January 13, 2015 by MickyB 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
krawnden 1,036 Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Raw's good, but try and have a variety. I tend to ring the changes through chicken, turkey and rabbit, with green tripe approx every 10 days. Also occasional oxtail and venison, just depending on what I've got kicking about. And make sure you include some bone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

leethedog 3,071 Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) I found raw goes.strait through a pup not nice to clean up and the pup doesn't get the goodness out of it in that case I feed cooked meets no bone mixed with Chudleys keeps em stiff and still getting extra protein for good muscle growth Edited January 13, 2015 by leethedog Quote Link to post Share on other sites
socks 32,253 Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 I don't know why people are afraid to feed raw to pups and think its bad for them and that it will go straight through them leaving no goodness etc ... Dogs have been eating raw food for thousands of years ... If it was that bad there wouldn't be any dogs left would there ? ..... 3 weeks old enjoying some minced chicken ........ 10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dales Hunter 22 Posted January 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 I just presumed raw would give him the runs? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MickyB 327 Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) Don't feed cooked bones that can splinter that wont do it any good Edited January 13, 2015 by MickyB 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
