What did your dog(s) eat today?

[cloverfdx]

Crazy-Cat-Lover, i am so sorry to hear Bailey has been losing weight, i hope the extra kibble will sort things out. Elvis has been getting a cup or so of working dog food/ kibble in the morning to get some weight back on him, he is a skinny boy at the moment aswell.

So breakfast was...

Elvis: VIP chicken and vegies dog roll and a small handful of working dog food.

Clover and Tinny: Small piece of VIP dog roll that Elvie had left over.

Dinner for everyone was chicken mince, couple of pork ribs and a handful of working dog food (We ran out of vegies and everything else was frozen ). Clover also had her supps and meds. E & T had their supps aswell.

I'm so sorry about Bailey losing so much weight. Hopefully he will put some pounds back on. He will be in my thoughts. I love that guy.

My sister came by the other day and gave me a bunch of venison that was getting old. My girls are in heaven they love it.

A friend of ours brought Bailey a package of ground chicken and ground herring. He got a job at Fresh Start - they make packaged raw meat products. I gave him both packages and he loved them! Today he is having...

Breakfast:

1 pound beef
4 chicken backs/necks
Pureed sweet potato, celery, oranges and garlic. I also added some canola oil.
Some pork fat

Dinner:

4 1/2 cups of kibble

Bailey is having a high quality kibble in the morning and raw at night. He was eating 5 pounds of meat per day and lost so much weight. His spine in so visible that you can count every last vertebrae. I am afraid we're killing him, I am scared that he wasn't getting the proper amount of organs/vitamins/minerals/calcium/protein/fat etc. DH says there's no way we can afford to feed him more than 5 pounds a day, so he bought him kibble. Bailey is also losing a ton of hair, his coat is dull and he smells really bad? I am really upset that he has to eat kibble in the morning, but I'd rather he eat that than die from emaciation. He is fed every single day in the afternoon.

This isn't Bailey, I'm too ashamed to take a picture of him. This is exactly what he looks like though.

omg poor boy! I am so sorry to hear that...hope all checks out ok at the vets...Lots of Hugs and smoochies to my favorite merle boy

Oh my gosh, Tasha, I am so sorry! Poor Bailey!

My crew had turkey again today.

I offered Keegan a beef tongue (which I must say is just about the grossest thing I have offered her! It beats out the the fresh deer liver I got the other day that still had grass on it!) and all she did was lick it and whine. I know that they are supposed to eat big but she has always whined if things are too big for her. :eyeroll:
I was cutting up a whole turkey into meals so I offered her some of that and she took that wholeheartedly. And she got some venison also.

Jenny eats Nutro now. I am very pleased with it, after 2 cups her teeth were already noticable whiter. She's actually been eating it for quite a while, she's gone through 40lbs of it already.

Anyways, so she had a cup of lamb and rize Nutro and (we had a roast) gravy poured over it. yum!

I have a freezer full of meats and pureed veggies but haven't have been too busy to feed raw lately. They have been eating their Timberwolf & Moo is eating Canine Caviar.

When I introduce raw to Moo, what would be the best way to feed him, and how much? He is 12 weeks old and around 11 pounds.

When I start raw its about 16 weeks, and its chicken wings. At 12 weeks, I use ground turkey, none lean hamburger, ground in a processor with tripe and a veggie with raw egg and either yogurt or cottage cheese.
A puppy you feed at 5 percent of his body weight. You will continue that until a year old, then look at his growth if you need to continue 5 percent. If he weighs 12 pounds, that means roughly about a 1/3 of a pound twice a day. But keep an eye on this in weighing him- I think he is shepherd and collie and he will gain fast in the next two months as you know.
