sharloid Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 Just pork ribs? That's not a complete, balanced diet. Mine are raw fed, currently 21kg and 20kg and get about 450g a day. Most raw feeders will feed 2-3% of the ideal adult weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alongado Posted April 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 She is 5 and a half,she has fish and chicken too,she was a few kg overweight which is why she's on about 200g,but now I run her aswell I feel she should eat more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharloid Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 It's best to loose weight slowly so I do think 200g sounds low. For a dog loosing weight you should be feeding 2% of the ideal body weight and see how the weight comes off then. Is she also getting the correct amount of offal?

alongado Posted April 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 She won't normally touch offal,would be grateful for some meal suggestions as am quite new to the barf diet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharloid Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 Most of the raw feeding groups advocate feeding 80% meat, 10% bone, 5% liver and 5% other offal. They stress that the offal, liver especially if very important and needs to be included. Have you tried feeding it frozen or mixed in with a mince or chopped very finely?

Katie (and Zara the Husky) Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 We've found our sibe loves tuna and salmon (as well as chicken, beef, lamb etc). I can buy her a large can of tuna in spring water for less than the disgusting canned dog food (which I would never feed her!). We mix in a little grated carrot, broccoli and rice and she loves it. Fish might help with her weight loss as its great protein. Adds a beautiful shine to their coat too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
