Re: Raw feeding - didnt go quite to plan.

Re: Raw feeding - didnt go quite to plan.

Lamb isn't a good meat to start with. Best to start with beef and chicken and then add more meats, offal and extras when they are used to the beef and chicken.

They should have 2-3% of their ideal body weight daily.

The diet should consist of roughly 80% meat, 10% offal and 10% bone.

Re: Raw feeding - didnt go quite to plan.

I should really have said 2-3% is only a guide and you should keep an eye on them for weight loss/gain and adjust the amounts as appropriate.

Some dogs can also have a lot more than 10% bone, some do better with 25% but it's best to start at 10% to avoid constipation.

If stools are a bit loose you can increase the bone content.
