What Are You Feeding Your Whippets?

I have recently become a proud owner to a 13mth bitch called Fern.

When she came into my care, I've noticed she was pooh-ing a awful lot about 4-5 times per day and was a bit farty! She was fed on 'Autarky' dried complete, it's chicken, so I have changed her to 'Nutro puppies dried complete lamb & rice'.

She is pooh-ing alot less now, I understand Fern is ready for adult dog food at between about 18 -20 mths?

I didn't introduce her new food gradually over 2 weeks as I should well do, because I didn't have enough of the previous so I did over 2 days (naughty)! But, Fern's got no sign of stomach trouble at all, in fact her pooh are alot more healthier & wholesome looking than before.

What are you feeding your whippets on? Out of interest. I certainly recommend 'Nutru puppies dried complete lamb & rice'! Will switch to adult Nutro lamb & rice too.

Any advice? Correct me.

:cheers:

i've recently started mine on Berties complete, after having trouble trying to find a food that wasn't bulked out with beet pulp :angry:

it's Gluten free and contains Linseed which seems to have put some shine and clean condition on them,it also contains yucca to reduce odour :thumbsup:

Murphy is not being fed for 2 days because he stole a kilo of dog food while i was at work, but when he does get fed he has Arden Grange and Nature Diet so he has a mix between dry and meat. He also has raw bones for tea once a week, and the occasional tin of sardines. If his coat looks dry he also has a glug of cod liver oil added to his Arden Grange.

My lot all have Red Mills Tracker although they do on occasions have a complete food called Dr Johns I'd never heard of it but the shop that orders my red mills couldn't get it one day so she reccomended this and they seem to enjoy it.

They also have pasta or rice as well

Tried most brands of complete for my dog, full of damn scurf with it, even adding oil capsules, of which i find linseed to be the best, try brushing your dog against the growth of her coat and see, so now i make up her food which consists of, fresh human consumption meat, freeze first, mix with some good quality dog mixer vegetables, brown rice and pasta, sardines in tommy sauce, tripe, dont cook it :lol: , i add a linseed oil capsule, just one a day, try this then you will see a decent wholesome turd, the list is endless.

I feed Eukanuba mixed with a tin of sardines a day at the moment - but she's going off it a bit - so Im looking at the more natural methods used on here

My smirnoff is on Puppy Royal Cannin,

she switched over to it really fast when I got her, it was nearly done in a day, she picked the bits of Royal cannin out of the other food, so the switch was nice and easy, I was exspecting it to take longer !!!

it makes sure they have purfectly formed poo's which is nice, and she loves the stuff.

Eukanuba, expensive crap my friend, and why add sardines to a complete

I feed the BARF diet too. Chicken wings, raw tripe, beef, lamb, chicken

a good quality mixer, lots of raw veggies, pasta and rice.

Sardines, pilchards, cheese now and then, and the odd egg or two and goats milk.. :thumbsup: My dogs love it.

There is also lots more feeding advice in the FAQ section on this forum. :thumbsup:

I feed Ruby similar to Keith's method, but feed very little or no biscuit/mixer. Ruby has vegetables, fish, eggs, porridge made with goat's milk sometimes but her main diet is raw meats and offal. I use beef and lamb from the butcher [frozen first and then defrosted and fed raw] and Prize Choice beef, tripe, turkey, rabbit, lamb all fed raw. I give her SA37 supplement. She will soon be moving on to the Prize Choice freeflow chunks. She would have them now but I need to make a bit more freezer space for them. She has also has lamb ribs.

Ruby is 4 months old and has been fed raw all the time I have had her.

Her faeces have always been just right and she seems to be able to eat anything without getting an upset tummy. [Hope I haven't spoken too soon] :- "
