Guest Tess32 Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 When my pup settles in properly I want to switch him over to a raw plus dry diet. Currently I'm switching him over to a mix of Eagle Pack and RMB. I've found the calculators to work out how much BARF to feed, but I'm not sure how you figure that in when he's getting a cup of dry for breakfast? Eg he weighs 6 kg so at 6% of his bodyweight that works out to about 360 grams per day for BARF. But if I feed dry to I just count the grams or because it's a complete meal, do I factor it in another way? Confused now Please no arguments on me feeding dry, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janba Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 I feed a mixture of raw and dry. I always think that they overstate the amount of dry you have to feed on the packets so work on about 3/4 of the recommnended amount. So if I am feeding 50% dry I use about 35-40% of the recommended amount of dry and make the rest up in raw. I adjust according to the condition of the dog.

JulesP Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 This is how I feed now. I don't do it that scientifically though. I go more on the body weight of the dog. Too fat - less food. With the puppy I have just been weighing her to make sure she is putting on weight at a good rate. Some days she gets more food, some less. Which was how BARF was supposed to work before those patty things came out. I tend to do the bones in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
