Re: Raw feeding diary
Day three
Today is day three of raw feeding she has again had 200g mince and veg for breakfast and 100 g mince for tea. One thing i am struggling with is what to give her as treats, we have had a huge issue with retriving with Lexi ie throw a ball and she fetches it back she used tojust run off, however have no got a very good routine that if she brings it back she gets a 'treat' now it has always been one little kibble bit per each retrive, we probably throw the ball less than 10 time per walk, throw it a fair distance and more then 10 throws you end up fetching it yourself. We play fetch right at the start of the walk so there is probably an hour before her tea...am i ok to still give her these little kibble bits? If not anyone any suggestions of treats she won't eat carrot apple etc when out on a walk I don't know why. With the raw feeding its going really well she is enjoying her meals her poo's have cut down to 2 or 3 a day, she isn't drinking as much so not weeing as much and she is happier in herself. We have had no pooping through the night at all since moving to raw. |

Re: Raw feeding diary
It's aways difficult knowing what to give as treats when feeding raw. Of course it's easy when you're at home because you can give carrots, apples etc but when out, like yours mine won't eat them. I have always given quartered chocolate drops, my reasoning is they digest very quickly as they melt quickly too and have never had a prob. Have to confess that with Flynn, because he can be a pain when out so I need something he can't resist, I give him quartered dolly mixtures - he's a spoilt boy thouhgh, lol.
Because my Mals are a breed prone to bloat I never feed them for a couple of hours, either before or after a walk but i'm sure choccy buttons will be okay for your lil kid! ![]() Isn't the change in poo amazing? and they don't smell half as bad either, something you'll notice evn more on a hot summers day when picking up!

Re: Raw feeding diary
Brilliant i have choc drops and she adores them (mummy may have given her a few too many when we first found she loved them and she turned into a little porker, so they are rationed) but if i half them and shes running about chasing her ball she'll be fine.
She is so funny with veg, I have three rabbits and they get fresh veg every day, so in the house she'll eat carrots apple strawberries cucumber...anything i give to the rabbits, raw cabbage by the leaf ( i don't give her full cabbage leaves i dropped one once and she ate it) but try and give her fruit and veg out on a walk or in a training class and she looks at you as if you have just grown another head. |

Re: Raw feeding diary
Day 5
We are still going well, we had sardines in tomato sauce for tea. i have had a re jig of a few things, 2 nights a week she is now going to have chicken chunks with offal and veg and I have also added some veg into her other mince meals,just raw as she adores it, looks nicer now although i know there is no nutritional value. Have put a bulk order in so will be introducing other meats over the coming weeks. So far so good, no looking back. She was sick on her first night but since then no more sick down to 2 small poo's a day no pooping in the house and no wind. |

Re: Raw feeding diary
I've ordered from raw2go this time, and I am going to try The dog food company next time.
I have ordered, chicken mince turkey mince, lamb mince, venison mince, rabbit mince, some kidney, heart, liver, chicken wings and turkey necks, there is enough for 12 weeks and it came to £49 including delivery which i though was a bargain. on top of that she has some lamb ribs from the butchers and some chicken chunks. The lady at raw2go said that the meat stores for 12 weeks so thats good and she was very very helpful she said the minces are roughly 80:10:10 but she was very helpful in explaining how if i still wanted to feed meaty bones how i could make sure my rations stay the same. |
