Sandra777 Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Raw. But whatever the pup's breeder was feeding for at least 10 days after pup comes home..... (unless you have a random weetbix and water feeding ''breeder'') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baileys mum Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 I weaned my first litter onto Advance rehydratable kibble & raw mince last year. All pups did really well on it, & I sent each pup home with a 1.5kg bag of it. Jasper the pup we kept has been fed Advance puppy /raw mince combo & raw bones for 9 months now & he has just thrived. My adult dogs have the Advance adult dry with raw meat & they also look great. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aso Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 We feed raw meaty bones / prey diet from the day we brought our baby home, 9 weeks. He loves it and I can't imagine feeding him anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunnwarren Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I feed puppies on Advance Puppy and raw mince, they do really well on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogsrawesome Posted January 24, 2011 Author Share Posted January 24, 2011 with raw food i don't really know much about it is it literally just like mince from the butcher? sorry if that sounds really stupid i'm just curious. I don't understand how people make puppies start off with wheetbix i don't know how that would remotely be good for a pup :S. I have read about advance i thought it would be a good brand then i read something somewhere else saying all dry food is basically the same???

Sandra777 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 (edited) with raw food i don't really know much about it is it literally just like mince from the butcher? I'm sure you've gone and looked at the link so this is really for the benefit of anyone who doesn't bother, but no - absolutely not just mince from the butcher. Raw meat on it's own is not the natural food for a dog and will do a puppy irreparable harm. The minerals in an animal are in the bones so meat and bone together is essential if you're going to raw feed.

Esky the husky Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 If you're not comfortable feeding raw to a growing pup, you can always feed the same kibble as the breeder until the pup is physically mature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poodlefan Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 If you're overfaced by the idea of feeding raw then I'd recommend a diet of raw meaty bones (eg. chicken wings) and kibble fed alternately. Feed a decent quality kibble with rmbs and you can't go too far wrong. A poor home made diet will not be better than kibble. A lot of pups get some quite inappropriate diets due to lack of research.
