Tiggy

I feed twice a day. Feeding a main meal in the morning is suppose to be good for dogs that need to lose weight as they burn it off during the day.

I use Pookinuk to. Delivery is only $5.

I decided against getting the Vets All Natural. I've been feeding a raw prey model diet and all the dogs are doing well on it .

I used Polaramine. I gave him half a tablet that evening and again the next morning.

Poor Banjo was stung by a Bee yesterday . I noticed one of his eyes was a bit swollen when we got back from a walk and then five minutes later his whole face had swollen up. I rang the emergency Vet and he said to give him an Antihistamine tablet. The swelling had gone down alot this morning and now he's back to his handsome self .

I use Pookinuk .

2.5 cups of dry food doesn't sound like too much. It should be fed over three meals. Puppies use alot of energy growing.

If you have any doubts about the breeder go to someone else. I think they sound suspicious. I paid $1000 for my boy which is the norm in Perth.

Have you been rewarding the nervous/scared behaviour by comforting her at these times? Remember to wait until she's in a calm state of mind before getting attention.

'Pookinuk' sell Orijen. Postage is only $5. http://www.pookinuk.com.au/pet-products.asp?categoryID=90

We feed human grade offal.

The diet you're feeding sounds fine. I feed my dogs a raw diet with no grain or vegetables.

Cooked chicken breast because I'm not getting yucky raw chicken all over my hands at dog training . Banjo's treats when we go to training are his dinner so I want them to be something nutritious, so any cooked meat/offal. I just use the Natures Gift mini treats at home as I only use a small handfull in a training session.

I do

10/10 for stand for exam. How did you manage that with a Staffy ? That's been the hardest thing to teach my two because they're just too friendly.

I remember he doesn't use food in training. I saw him the other day. He works at the Woolworths near me.

I usually buy all the lamb hearts from the Coles I work at.

I just clicked the Northern Suburbs link and the photo of the stand for exam is with one of my old Instructors from Midland. I think his name is Paul. How long have you ben going to Midland 'saradale'? I haven't been for four months but I'm starting to miss it.

Thanks for your help hopenfox.

I've been feeding my Staffords two whole eggs a week. Is this ok?

Thanks for the reply . I got some really meaty turkey drumsticks today. Are they okay to feed? I know they're a weight bearing bone but they're softer than a beef leg etc. My dogs have no trouble with them. My dogs love lamb hearts. Since they're classed as a muscle meat can I feed more of them than I would liver or kidney?

Just wondering if any of the 'raw/prey model' feeders add any supplements. I've just had a good read of a few 'raw/prey model' websites and they say there's no need except for maybe fish oil. Also what raw meaty bones are meaty enough with out adding extra meat.

What's a good and reasonably priced fish oil? I found one which sounds good but it's pretty expensive. Also do you feed it daily or less often? Here's the link to the one I was looking at. I've seen it for $32.50. http://www.wildalaskanfishoil.com.au/index.html

Midland would be your closest and it's a good club .
