Hi, we are about to get our first Whippet and we are super excited! However, does anyone have any suggestions as to the best food / feeding regime for a Whippet puppy. Also Freyja, which Red Mills Greyhound food do you recommend, the Racer or Tracker.
Many thanks in advance for any help received,
Phil

My whippets have the tracker which is for convalesing greyhounds so the protein is lower 20%. I used to use the racer but with 28% protien it sent my lot a bit loopy.

As you say you are getting a puppy I would get a good puppy food I don't start feeding tracker to my pups until they are about 8 months old. Maybe JWB or Arden Grange and then if you want to feed the greyhound food change to it when they are older.

I now mainly feed mine raw now they still have the tracker in the morning but get a small amount of tracker mixed with either raw tripe or raw chicken mince at night.

Re: feeding a whippet

Thanks for the advice, I shall stick to the puppy food the breeder has been giving until then.

Thanks again,
Phil
