Thank you all so much for the kind and helpful advice you gave to me last week about our new whippet pup Floyd and the anxiety I was experiencing with the dog & the cat, although they are not the best of mates yet they are wary and politely step around each other.
Floyd has settled well, he seems very happy and confident, we have taken him to see the in laws Borzois (2 boys 16 months) a couple of times, he has been walking down by the River Humber with us and is popular with everyone he meets, I am biased but he is so good looking. He sleeps well at night in his crate, in the kitchen, with a multitide if toys I keep buying him. He is house trained and very good a letting us know when he needs to go.
We started him off on James Well-beloved which he came with, he wasn't really eating much, I put it down to settling down, but when we went to see the borzois Floyd scoffed thier tripe, much thier astonishment, i have started feeding him a block a day (1/3 each meal) with 180 kg of james well beloved (1/3 each meal) at first he wolfed it down, but now he is picking and not eating as much as I would like to see him eat. I am happy to continue with the green tripe, does it need to be heated after it's defrosted?
Any ideas on more popular biscuits, feed?
Should i be giving him 1/3 of a block with his usual complete food?
Could he just live on tripe? (he is 4 months 1 week)
Is there a food that whippets love????
He is currently chewing on beef muscle, which I was happily brandishing in the shop until the assisitant informed me it was the bulls winkle (her words not mine, I confirmed my supspicions by asking was it the willy?) much to her delight, I dropped it, she then gleefully lead me to a full size one, I love my whippet, hence, I came home with a mini bulls winkle, in a bag, he's chewing it now, beneath my chair as I type and it smells!
How old is pup when I put normal leather, fish tail collar on?
