 Posted: Fri Aug 15, 2008 8:22 am Post subject: Puppies eating raw |
 |
|
Well 7 week old Tico is the first pup we have had that we are feeding on raw from such a young age. She is having no problems with this at all, in fact she loves it. She's been eating tripe, heart, mince and this morning even managed to eat an entire chicken wing! Her wee jaws munched their way through the bones no problem. She's thriving on this diet and has had no problems eating anything we've put down to her.
As she's the first pup we've had that we've fed raw I was curious to see how she would be as she was on a complete dry food before we got her. She sits at my feet as soon as she sees me go into the kitchen and can't wait to get at her grub! 
Mind you - neither of her parents are fussy eaters!!!!!! |

pleased to hear it and yes she is looking fab on it...........................it is something i will do from day one when i get my third puppy!...............  whenever that will be!
what i do like raw feeding my two is that no only are they happy on it and less hyper but they have less wind/gas and more so their poos are so small and less smelly!........................i know that what is being eaten is mainly being used up by the body and there is very little waste coming out the other end!

well let's hope she's back to 'angelic mode' when you do meet her Dan!!!! This morning she has been a DEVIL!
She has been attacking Diesel and Murphy, Diesel is now officially scared of her and Murphy just loves it!!!! The 2 of them were running around chasing and biting each other for 45 minutes! She's afraid of nothing!
She flew at me to bite my feet and I grabbed her by the scruff of the neck and told her no and she responded with a growl and an attempt at another bite!!!! So there I was on the floor with a 7 week old dog holding to the ground to dominate her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  To say she's feisty is an understatement!!!! She's now exhausted and lying under the desk sound asleep looking as cute as ever.  |

Oh Marcella, sorry but PMSL here at the thought of the naughty girl telling you off then at you holding her down trying to put her in her place while she wriggled like a mad thing!!!
I LOVE the puppy phase!
