Messing around with frozen food and eskies can be a pain and the motel fridges are always so tiny! Where do you get this from in Victoria?

JR www.gofetchinternational.com online, in melbourne you can get it from Pet Maniacs, Studio Pets, Brunswick Community Pet Centre, thats all i know off the top of my head, i emailed them and they told me a few, theyre in the process of updating their website. its at the higher price end but still affordable and def worth it for the convenience!

newfsie Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 I think as you get used to RAW, you forget about the ratio's....I have I make my own lupin/grain mix with a blender. Oats, rice, wheat, dried peas, beans, and any other cheap lupins I can get my hand on. this I blend in my faithful blender and add about a table spoon to their mince. If i do not have my own home grown veggies, I often buy the cheapest pumpkin and any other cheap leafy stuff and quick chop and blanche, to the freezer it goes in small parcels. I think veg is about 10% or if they are a little heavy in weight i make the veggie part larger. The meat content is very reliant on what i can get. it might be raw fish, any sort of meats and also the heart/kidney/tripe mix. My dogs get yogurt and tinned sardines daily...........One tin does three dogs (newfs). I check my dogs ribs and sometimes the feeding goes up and down according to that. Just remember in the wild their is no set diet. And my dogs get bones.......lots of bones. I do watch their poops a little, if too dry, I hold back on the bones and add a little olive oil or see if I can find some fatty lamb ribs for them. My dogs love fruit and melon of any kind is a treat for them. So is banana and one loves mandarins. To our diet I add kelp powder, Vit C for my growing pup. Vit E for all and fish oil capsules for all. My dogs look shiny and healthy and I have done quite well with their health (touch wood)........Our Kelpie just died recently and he had the most beautiful set of teeth at fifteen......we never clean teeth and all their teeth are and have been beautiful. Our vets always comment on their teeth. i am sure there is a lot more i do automatically.......I have been feeding RAW for over twenty years. i only ever fed dry for a very short period before that and pre- the dry period we fed home cooked food to our dogs Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
