HugUrPup Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I have a very malnourished poodle here and I want to put some weight on her and would like to know any good recipes or things to feed her to help with that please :) She loves raw chickens necks and pigs ears but dog food makes her fart something terrible.

HugUrPup Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 what is total cereal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salukifan Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Pigs ears are junk food for dogs - and probably the source of the farting quite frankly. They'd have little nutritional value. I would feed her up on chicken wings and fatty raw meaty bones and try some kibble for sensitive stomachs unless you want to raw feed completely.

kelpiecuddles Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 (edited) It's an american breakfast cereal, basically a wheat flake, you could sub with crushed weet bix Edited May 28, 2014 by kelpiecuddles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salukifan Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 (edited) It's an american breakfast cereal, basically a wheat flake, you could sub with crushed weet bix It would have bugger all nutritional value for a dog. Dogs gain weight from fat, not carbs I'd go for three smaller meals a day, rather than two larger ones. Feed the best quality protein and fat but don't over do it.

Dame Aussie Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Lamb necks are good. Or those balls I've seen in here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelpiecuddles Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 It's basically used as a binder I think to soak up the moisture in the wetter ingredients like the eggs, you could make them without the cereal i imagine but they'd just be more sloppy :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HugUrPup Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 ok cool I will give it a go. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danois Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Porridge made with water and then cooled down with rice milk and feeding a performance food (RC, ProPlan, Holistic all have them). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaCC Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I agree with Haredown about lots of raw meaty fatty bones. I've heard lamb flaps are great. If you want some dry food I would also go with a performance type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HugUrPup Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 Ok the meat and eggs together sounds good. The kibble she has is good quality but it must still have preservatives or some crap that has bad side effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulesP Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Have you tried Natures Gift tinned food? A FB friend asked this today and heaps of people suggested satin balls. If you google you will find heaps of recipes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheena Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I was going to suggest porridge as well...made from proper rolled oats, not quick oats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HugUrPup Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 My other dog eats natures gift, I will get some more tomorrow. I was worried it was too rich for her just yet. She was starved for 6 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dame Aussie Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 That's it, satin balls! I kept wanting to write silk but knew it wasn't right :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelpiecuddles Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 That's the recipe I linked to before but the title on the page is really hard to read LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danois Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Satin balls should be approached with caution or you will get a case of pancreatitis on your hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crisovar Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Good nourishing food several times a day, no need for junky additives like cereals and such. Chicken portions, lamb necks, lamb flaps, good quality fresh meats or a premium quality pref grain free dog food. Keep it simple and nourishing. Healthy nourishing additives like lambs hearts, chicken hearts, chicken livers etc can help tempt if the dog is a bit reluctant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogsfevr Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Satin balls should be approached with caution or you will get a case of pancreatitis on your hands. Was about to write the same thing .I would still be careful with lamb flaps & the likes in one big hit . Personally slow & steady is the approach we use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
