| Okay I know we've been through this a hundred times on here & other forums BUT I really do want to do this now but there is sooooo much information its doing my head in.
I really think it could help Sly but I'm frightened of getting it wrong & making things worse.
I dont how much they should be having & in what combinations.
Are any of you hardened RAW feeders out there able to help me with coming up with a diet sheet for my three? | |

| I read a lot on that site as well Ellie is on Raw now coz of her allergy she developed, we think we have it down as Chicken or that she needs vit C, coz that's the 2 changes we have made and the rashes have gone. Bev, have you tried the tablets Jan mentioned before, they sound good. This is another very good site, they have a menu on here as well and talk about skin problems, worth viewing Bev http://www.ripley-wrinkles.com/ | |

| Shelley on the link I gave there is a weight calculator and a menu, it is really only to give you the confidence, once you start you will be fine, if the dog puts weight on feed a little less etc.
There is a also a menu on there for a week or two, again you don't need to follow it exact but it is a good guidance to use.
Chicken wings are cheap and a good bone/meat ratio, lots of people use them for a breakfast, then give the ground mice in the evening.
Many frozen blocks you buy do contain ground bone as well.
Karen's link has a wealth of info, lots of good reading, no need to follow it like a bible just use common sense and it will be good for anyone who has doubts.
There are many people who feed a combination of RAW/Complete as well, good luck for those who want to change. | |
