BARF - Puppy feeding question


Daisysmom

Recommended Posts

When is a good time to introduce raw meat to Jake??? Do you think it is too soon? I cut up a very small amount of chicken neck and mixed it with his puppy food. THink this is okay or too soon, or even should I give one entire meal a day of raw????????

I can't really answer this, but I've seen this question on some of the nutrition forums I read. Here are a couple links for you:

Hi Daisysmom,

I'm definatly no expert and I'm sure there will be others here that will be able to give you good advise but I just wanted say that I know people through a Malamute board who have fed their puppies BARF from day one so I am sure it would be fine for Jake if that's what you plan to feed him.

"Raw beef marrow bones were given every 4-5 days, which gave her a very uneventful teething and helped with what I consider the most uneventful destructive chewing episodes I have ever seen in a pup."

The first thing we did when we got Belladonna was go straight to the shops and buy her some chicken carcass'!!! She gets so excited at meal times and sits there and chews, and chews... and chews....
Its great for their teeth, especially as when they are teething most so called "chew toys" don't give their gums the excercise they need, rmb's do. She also gets some of the fatty bits from the other dogs lamb off cuts to help with her coat.
At the moment she is getting two kibble meals a day, seeing as its really inconvenient to defrost bones for three meals a day, but when she's bigger she'll be getting all raw too :D
Oh, by the way, I'm in the yahoo raw feeding group. I just posted about feeding puppys - they are pretty good though will tare you down about feeding veggies, which I disagree with because I do beleive that veggies have their place in a dogs diet. Its worth a look though!

Oh I just realised, Kiger posted a link to a "rawdiet" list, I got muddled up and was thinking about the "rawfeeding" list I'm in... just joined the raw diet list!!! I'm sure it is much better than the raw feeding list, they are very biased there and make you feel very uncomfortable if you don't agree 100% with everything you say.
All you have to do is get a yahoo email account, go to "groups" and search for "rawdiet"... or you could just click on kigers link :lol:
