Will she eat tinned meat or even better some raw meat. There is a lot of moisture in both of these products but the raw has better nutritional value. What was she eating before you got her? Were you given a menu and how she is used to feeding alone? I assume she was an only puppy and not feeding...

What difference is there between your home and the home where she has lived for the past 2 months. House with garden, flat with no outside access. What type of food and brand do you feed her, and what was she being fed while away. What about the ages of her carers, Does she notice any tension...

Don't offer him a meal that he just does not want. A chicken wing will be just fine. Our dogs are sometimes more sensible than we are, just take notice of what your chap is saying!

That looks interesting for a dog that will not chew any bones ! And much better than those horrible "Bonios" and other man made bones/chews.

We don't like to walk where we may meet other walkers and people who say their dog, he or she is friendly and just wants to say hello. They are just unruly and rude and neither us or any of our dogs like their attentions. We are lucky enough to have loads of places on the south downs and our...

I totally agree with the raw, it is a very gentle food and what our dogs are designed to eat. Puppies rear very well on raw meats, runny tummies never happen and their poos look like little torpedoes. Take care with any treats that you are giving him as there could be a grain in his treats that...

That's good news. Phew ! Don't try to stuff food into him too quickly and fill him up too much, keep him on lower rations and always looking for his next meal. Some dogs around this age are ready to start cutting their meals down themselves, some do it automatically, maybe this is what your...

Have you tried anything nice and stinky, like raw green tripe. Some love it but others hate it!

Does he get kibble and his 2 x 600grams of meat daily ?

How many times a day are you feeding him. At his age 2 feeds a day should be fine, maybe also try to reduce his daily amount just a little to keep him hungry. He will be fine if you do try this. The quality of the raw product is full of good nutrition, your puppy may not require quiet as much as...

I would be inclined to try a larger duck wing, these are not too small to choke on and would keep her teeth / gums in action. (Try; Natures Menu for these ) Dogs are just as likely to choke on kibble (I know you don't use it ! ) and frequently do choke on it if they are greedy eaters. A nice...

Our dogs all do well on a raw diet whether they are old or young it is a diet "where one size fits all", if you want more fibre in their diet fresh vegetables can be added. I always keep a bag of "Millies Wolfheart" on stand by for days where I forget to thaw the raw. "Natures menu" is a...

And after all of that NOISE we were only charged £15.

Oh WOW !! That's a bonus.

I'm sorry but can't remember if you are still using a raw diet or the chicken wings! Results may not happen over night but it will be beneficial over time / months, and make sure that your raw minces contain bone too. I would suggest that you stop all man made treats and maintain a natural...

I note that this is a very old post but couldn't resist telling about my husbands experience today at the vet's. He took one of the girls to the vet for a toe nail that was causing a very painful problem, at the same time he asked if the vet would clip her nails as she is not an easy dog to...

Hmm, other side of the South Downs from here, Dundfold for Newts and Petworth for Frogs. Naah, too far can't be bothered. Other than that I don't know where they grow or where to look for them!!

Today, a bit later than usual than usual I have just picked and blitzed a selection of freshly picked wild plants for the girls, and have blitzed them ready to pour over the girls dinners tonight. The mix has Nettle tops, Goose grass, Dandilion leaves flowers and roots, and some Hogweed new...

I am not a house proud person, with the number of dogs living with us it is not possible! I do worry about doggy smells in the house that we may not notice ourselves and will sometimes ask friends if they notice any doggy smells when entering the house. The answers are always no smell "PHEW"...

We have 5 Working type Cocker Spaniels at the moment, until 5 months ago we had seven. We have been feeding raw to our Cockers, including the Show Type, for over 40 years. As mature dogs they eat 1/2 lb of meat and bone with offal daily. As growing puppies they do eat more. Raw diets do not make...
