Sorry, I asked this in the stickier thread but not had a reply and am impatient
So, proud owner of 11 week old pup (GR) who is currently on Purina. I would like to get him on to RAW-not least as I have a freezer full of RAW from DAF that I bought for the dog that I lost a couple of weeks ago. I know some isn't suitable for him but I do have many packs of minces (game and lamb tripe; beef and tripe , minced oily fish, minced fish, whole sprats, minced duck, a box of assorted lamb bones and many knuckle joints, some pork ribs and a load of NM complete lamb meals as well as 10kgs of butchers mince and any amount of eggs.).
I won't be doing anything straight away if its not recommended, I am nervous of doing this and won't do it if not sure after asking anyone that will talk to me about it.
Some questions:
Should I start him sooner rather than later?
I know I should not feed RAW and kibble together, he's currently on 3 meals a day-how would that work?
Vegetables-could I just get the NM veg nuggets and add one/two of them in a day or are the tripe mixes adequate? Last two dogs have loved the carrot and parsnip mash you can get-the only thats steamed only with no butter? (yes, I am that lazy!)
An I better off going for something like Natures Instinct? I've had good results with adult dogs with Nature's Menu but I know some don't rate it.
What about bones-would pork ribs be ok? lamb breast bones?
Any tips? (help!!! please )
