HappyHeart Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Bit random I know but at the moment my dog is eating better than me.. I used to give her Advance dog biscuits which is a vet approved premium dry food and supplement with chicken necks and sardines about 3 x weekly...plus leftovers suitable for a dog Now she gets chicken every day mixed with her biscuits (all she would eat when very sick) I buy the chicken portions @$3.99kg from IGA they are brilliant, some big breast pieces in there plus drumsticks and thighs and I take the meat off the bone for her..much cheaper than the $12kg breast meat I was buying. I also give her boiled eggs (which she loves but they dont love her) and other bits of meat, offcuts boiled up or roasted plus cooked pasta or rice. 2 serves of sardines a week. Wholemeal bread as treats. This dog eats better than me! I have decided I can't leave her at Christmas to go back to England. Her recent attack has made me realise how much she means to me.. What do you feed your dog? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Que Sera Sera Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 My poor mutley gets Suoercoat Dried dog food and a cup of wet dog food whatever is on offer. He gets carrots for treats and has leftover " human" food too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiveAGirlShoes Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Premium dry food which is shunned until baked beans or leftovers are added lol. Treats are carrots and apples. I raw fed when she was a pup but found it difficult to maintain on warmer days (British warm lol). She did love turkey necks and chicken wings though xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest66881 Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Dry mix every other day, chicken and veggies twice a week and tin meat the rest, or a mix and match of any of the previous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I raw fed when she was a pup but found it difficult to maintain on warmer days (British warm lol). She did love turkey necks a nd chicken wings though xx I know this feeling! I wouldn't dare give her beans though..she stinks enough as it is..in the morning I add warm water to the biscuits to make a gravy..seems to be more palatable (though she would eat them dry before her attack) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caramac Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Whatever dry food is on offer at Tesco. He's none too impressed with any of it, but wet food does strange things to his delicate little gut and he leaves us presents to find in the morning, so he has to put up with it! He does get scraps of meat and gravy if we're feeling kind. :cute: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sustain Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 How much a week does it cost to feed a medium sized dog ? Looking at 2 dogs for my daughters: Small - Cavalier king Charles spaniel Medium - French bull dog Although being a realist I will be the one doing the walking and looking after.

HappyHeart Posted May 3, 2014 Author Share Posted May 3, 2014 Really depends what you feed them on. Will you go fresh..raw..supermarket or vet approved dog food? Most people do a mix. Id say I spend around $30 a week on mine maybe $40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you feed your dog? Firstly Christmas where do you live ? Many kennels now cater for dogs needing "special" care. With the diet there is a lot of discussion for the dogs to only have a raw food diet, but i have always questioned that. Pet dogs have evolved from the dogs in the wild who would eat anything they could find including plants. I dont feed "wet food" that is tin food from the supermarket. we have a little fluffy, so he gets raw chicken necks for breakfast, dinner is then either sardiens ( he would eat the tin they come in if he could !) raw lamb heart very cheap from the butcher 60 cents each i cut them in half and one half is his dinner, I have found a supplier of oven baked dry kangaroo, emu, or chicken sticks, or Black Hawk complete dog food so a mix of different things. Your diet sounds like it is fat free and I did a similar thing with a dog who has now past away due to pancreatitis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
