I'm thinking of switching my 8 week old pup from Science Diet (the dog food the breeder had him on) to a raw food diet, which I have never given a dog before. I don't think he likes Science Diet very much.
I had a couple of questions to anyone who is feeding their babies a raw diet...Call it a survey, if you will.
- What cuts/types of meat would you buy for an 8 week old (four pound) puppy? How much is enough for a meal? One chicken wing or drumstick? A few pieces of stew meat?
- What is the typical diet that you feed
your dog?
- How long have you been feeding raw?
- Will raw diet cause loose stools initially? (I don't want switching diet to affect housebreaking efforts.)
- Do you give any kind of supplement?
- How do you leave your dog to be boarded with vets? Do you switch them back over to kibble?? Or do you leave them meat to give the dog?
- Do you feed fruits/veggies too, and eggs?
- Have you ever had any problem giving raw bones? What kind of problems?
Thanks in advance to any who chime in. I'm in the process of researching the BARF diet, I just want to hear from some who have personal experience.
