Country Joe 1,411 Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 Currently feeding 1 pound of raw meat, plus a good complete plus veg, and ultimate oil, thinking of cutting out the complete and replacing with Pasta, good or bad idea? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sandymere 8,261 Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 I wouldn’t expect it to be either good or bad, the complete will have more than just carbs to a greater degree than pasta, protein, fats etc, but as you feed plenty of meat this shouldn't be a problem unless really working hard.

mushroom 12,392 Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 I've looked into a few alternatives to pasta/rice as a bulker (rice being very good) I'm trying potatoes at the moment and it seems to do him really well. Plenty of energy and he enjoys it. Oats and quinoa are other great alternatives Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mushroom 12,392 Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 What is this ultimate oil?? Surely non processed natural fish oils are better?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mushroom 12,392 Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 That ultimate oil is made up of plant oils only. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

How big is the dog your feeding and how much complete are you feeding with a lb of meat? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 That ultimate oil is made up of plant oils only. Is that a negative? It's jam packed with omega 3, 6, 9 plus vitamins and minerals. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 Before supplementing with ultimate oil I fed a lot of oily fish. But her coat didn't shine like this... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mushroom 12,392 Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 Just can't see how plant oils could be better but I'm not an expert..... SANDY Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thefensarefarbutistillgo 2,480 Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 White potatoe and sweet potatoes are suppose to be a good carbohydrate source for dogs better than wheat maize ect, can't see the point in cooking up pasta everyday to replace the dry food as a carb source because pasta is just made from wheat which along with maize which is basically corn flakes is the main carb source in most complete dry dog food so I'd just carry on using the complete for carbs or even better a grain free complete, Google Millie's wolfheart dog food it's suppose to be a real good grain free complete with high meat content not tried it myself yet but am going to soon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
