Raw Feeding

[tomas87 18]

I have a staff here that I'm wanting to feed raw am I right you start with 5% and alter if gains or losses weight

Just change gradually and see how it gets on. Any reason why you want to go for raw rather than just a homemade diet with carbs like pasta and table scraps etc in with the meat?

The dog suffers from a lot of alergy problems, boldness in places and dry skin. Iv tried nearly every brand of dog food I'll will start and add pasta see if his alergies come back

Give plenty of fats, oils for the coat, dietary allergies aren't that common in dogs and most none environmental allergies are to meat rather than anything else with beef being a common one.

you wont go far wrong with a stew that contains meat (try lamb)and some veg. Cook it slow and add some quality all in one biscuit in the bowl. Dont soak but make sure there is broth withe stew and drinking water available.The meal should be mostly meat. Every two days give a teaspoon of pure cod liver oil. Make sure its pure and dont over do it. One or two days a week just feed flesh (fat and all) with a hand full of good kibble. Big shin bones are good too for teeth and keep the dog happy,say one a fortnight.

Why cook the meat and why feed kibble? He's asking about raw feeding.
