Scotty, a cup is about eight ounces.

 

cheers mate

 

raw is not dear try the dog food company i get mine from them and use arden grange kibble

 

If you use arden grange its cheaper if you use their breeders club, or you can get it off petexpress, if you buy 6 bags its about £25 each including P&P

 

Sorry I didnt see the 'when conditioning' part, so ignore my last post.

 

Hi new to the forum.
Perhaps she needs more time after having the pups. The bitch i got i gave her a year before i put any miles in, reason why i would not breed again.

 

Go by the guide on the bag of kibble, weight you dog and just feed a bit less than the guide says, i use james wellbeloved its a bit pricey but the best there is without buying of the web....

 

yea i got some of that now but she dont eat it i leave it in the bowl and by the nxt day shes starvin and eats the foods gon to sh!t lol

 

Not the cheapest but I've always had excellent results with Eukanuba maintenance/performance.

 

ive used bento performance before with good results but u can buy it from only one place in uk they import it they reckon its better than puriana p

 

Try oijen dog food dry biscuit, it's high protein, low carbs, no grain and has won quite a few awards. They sell it down near my local pet store but you can get it off the net.
Bit expensive though but I mix it with raw food. Also try some pigs heads, butchers will normally sell them for £2 a head and the dog will enjoy and spend a lot of time going through it.
As for exercise, if your dogs ball mad try throwing the ball up and down the stairs, I shed a lot of weight off my boy and built his legs and shoulders up doing that. Good luck.

 

i have found raw to be the cheapest.

I get mine from ASDA or Iceland, ASDA is 1.40 per kg and Iceland is 3.00 per 2kg. Prety cheep from my point of view

 

Hi There,
I buy my raw frozen meats from Berrieswood Foods online, great prices and delivery, about £1 per KG for Chicken/Beef with Tripe, they also sell loads of other raw meats as well as all the good quality dried foods at good prices. I feed dry in the morning cos its easiest and raw (with puree veg and alittle brown rice) at teatime. I just walk my dogs for an hour a night and throw ball etc and they stay in good shape.
Thanks

 

i use red mills greyhound food along with raw

 

I'v used redmills, it's good stuff but I'm sure it changed so I switched to complete Raw. Gain 28 is what the greyhound/whippet/lurcher folk seem to be using these days biscuit wise!! Might be worth a look.

 

ive got redmills racer now ill try that for a bit
