Title: Raw diet question.
Post by: leafhound on August 31, 2017, 03:13:38 PM
I am currently feeding them cooked meat and fish and veggies.
If I move them to raw do I have to add any type of supplements?

thx

This depend on what you will be feeding, I used to feed Natural Instinct which is a complete food but I made sure she also had Chicken Wings etc and her favourite a Tin of Sardines :luv:

There are plenty of Complete foods out there and many choose to have an occasional DIY day , maybe this is for the more advanced RAW feeder :D

Hi John,
you might like to have a look at this website, I DIY raw feed Humphrey as I can't get ready made mixes where I live and I found the info on here very helpful.

If you are feeding a varied and balanced raw diet or a good quality raw complete, you won't really need to use supplements unless your dog has any specific issues.   ;)

thanks all for the replies, don't know if I feel 100% comfortable yet with it, must research more.

Have a read of this:  http://www.cockersonline.co.uk/discuss/index.php?topic=97551.0

It's pretty easy to feed raw these days with the various raw completes.

Have a look at Nutriment or Natural Instinct which are both excellent completes and a great way to get started   ;)
