Born Hunter 17,639 Posted April 30, 2020 Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 I buy from these guys, but only because they're just up the road. http://www.bulmerdogfood.co.uk/frozen-meat-products/ I used to feed 100% raw but found the spaniel benefited from a bit of complete so now I just buy duck & tripe and cut it with a complete rather than getting too technical.

Chaff 3,414 Posted April 30, 2020 Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 I've been feeding 1/2kilo a day of minced chicken and offal plus pint of wholemeal kibble a day, for about 8 months now and its all good with his health might have 2 dumps a day now as apposed to 6 or more when I was feeding dry. He now putting on weight which he needed but now looking like could loose a bit what should I cut down on kibble or meat. He weighs 28 kilo 24 tts. Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bosun11 537 Posted April 30, 2020 Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 Gnash, those type of companies can be expensive but you'll find plenty of less commercial raw feed companies local i'll bet. Local to me there are loads on the Facebook marketing pages and plenty of those deliver too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Right gotcha...i mean he,s only a littlun these packs only work out just over a quid a day i can live with that i just wanted to make sure this is basically it im sure folk add their own little tweaks but as a basic raw diet this seems a lot less complicated than id envisaged.

Just give him some chicken wings or some ribs as well now and then so he gets some bones to help his teeth in keeping strong and healthy,cheap enough from a butchers seeing it's for one terrier. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

To be honest thats what i buy. Lidl and Aldi do packs of 12 wings for around £1.50. I just split em an freeze in two's. Ideal chucked on kibble. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TPMS meats will cost you about 30p a day Maybe a bit less to feed your terrier and they have a big catalogue of different meats raw bones etc to choose from. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
