changing to raw diet

[elaine erskine]

Hi I've heard so much about this raw diet and interested in changing Angel's diet; but i wouldn't know where to start. How much would i give her, what would i give her and how often. she gets 495g of wet dry combined at the moment and only gets it once a day. she loves her veg especially carrot. how quickly should i change her over. can any one advise me on this.

Also i visited the class yesterday and registered Angel she coming next Sunday at 2pm but it was told about a natural treat that could be made to bring as treats to class but cannot remember how it was made. any help on this would be appreciated.

Is the treat you are referring to "liver cake"?

SOme dogs need changing over slowly and others can adapt to it straightaway..

Landywoods foods come in 1lb bags (464g) I would start with one of these per day and then adjust it as necessary..(the dogs tend to get more nutrition from this sort of food so may need less)

Hi Elaine,

here is a link to the liver cake recipie http://www.cumbernaulddogtraining.co.uk/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=2653 ..........Janis makes it in batches if you can't stand the smell of making it yourself
At a training treat it is ideal, the dogs love it and it is soft and easily swallowed.

Have a trawl through the Feeding & Nitrition section on the forum.......there ais lots of advice on switching to with some good web links as well.

thanks for that john i found some Internet sites and been reading up on it it sounds very good but want to do more research before i make my mind up, it seems very expensive so funding for me is an issue being a student and also with staying with parents storage also is a big issue as they only have a very small freezer fridge.I will have a word with janis and see if she could make some liver cake for me as I am not keen on the smell of liver but I could get used to it. see you sunday.
