You’ll probably be appalled at the way I feed :-[ but it’s worked well up until this recent drama.
Food I use…..
chicken wings
Prize Choice freeflow tripe
Prize Choice freeflow beef
Prize choice freeflow chicken
Breast of lamb, from butchers
Liver/heart/kidney
Pilchards, sardines and prawns
Mashed up cooked veg…..carrots, broccoli. peas and anything else that’s to hand.
Raw eggs and shell but only occasionally
Apples/pears not on a regular basis.
Lamb and pork bones…….ribs and leg bones.
Mon/Tues/Wed/Thurs/Fri
They get a dessert spoon of lamb, and either minced chicken or beef or tripe.
plus a teaspoon or so of veg and about 2 teaspoons of liver/kidney or heart.
I feed a mix because none of the dogs are keen on the offal unless I mix it in with other meat. Ditto with the tripe. But they’ll eat it in a mix.
It’s hard to give you an exact measurement ‘cos I do it by eye rather than weighing it.
Sat/Sun
Pilchards or sardines or white fish, sometimes tinned sometimes fresh, and a small handful of prawns. Plus the veg.
After every meal they get a small bone……either 2-3 lamb’pork ribs or a chicken wing only about once every 10 days they get a bigger bone.
I also give them 1 Dorwest Garlic and Fenugreek pill….daily for 3 weeks, one week off, and one squirt of Grizzly Salmon Oil daily.
I feed once a day in the evening. I tried feeding a.m. and p.m. but they won’t eat in the morning. So they don’t go too long without food, in the morning they each have a bonio or 3-4 gravy bones. :-[
I don’t feed any other treats…….although I do catch OH throwing them a piece of cheese or a bit of ‘human’ biscuit now and then. >:(
I think that’s everything.
