Lurcher Pups Food

[Busher100 703]

Milk is good for calcium but not much beats raw bones. Easily digested by all canines and is what they would get in the wild.

What about Vitamin D? as without it a dog or a pup cannot absorb Calcium properly no matter what the source .

[Gilbey 1,408]

Sun?

[Busher100 703]

Fatty fish (tuna and mackeral) egg yolks and dairy products are all high in vitamin D mate.

[desertbred 5,490]

Vitamin E is predominantly fish but fish oil also contains large doses of Vit A which if to much can cause liver problems and can weaken bones,. D is an additive and natural from the Sun. In a winter litter when sun is weak an additive without the D vitamin to utalise the calcium that is the cause of Rickets, weak bones and bendy legs.. there used to be an additive powder called Stress about 50 yearsago it was Calcium. Vit D and C all the Greyhound ladsuse to use it to ensure strong bomes and teeth dont know if its still available or not it was recommended by the Late Paddy Sweeney (Vet) combined with vitamin B12 usually Brewers yeast,

How much was given per day mate?

[slip lead 862]

Stress was the old sa37 and thats now SF50.

[Busher100 703]

Did any lurcher men use it?

[desertbred 5,490]

Yes Saluki/Lurcher/Greyhound lads.used it it was a good supplement and not expensive about 5ml teaspoon of the powder sprinkled on the daily ration for a growing pup about 8/10 weeks old.

[slip lead 862]

Very good stuff for dogs up till 18 months

 

As abults vit E, B, C.

 

E for growing repairing muscle, c for boosting the E vit and B to remove build up. (bit like clinker in an old boiler)

 

 

This is not for every working dog but, dogs that have long hard runs..

Don't just mean the above, have folk noticed much difference between pups reared on just a varied diet and pups reared with supplements? Cheers

I find this below very good too, its sheep milk powder and great for mother and pups and pups growing as part of a balanced diet.
