How Can I Get My 13 Month Old Daughter To Start Feeding Herself?

editor — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 03:38:40 +0000

She happily eats crackers, raw carrots, basically anything that she can hold but when it comes to proper meals she just chucks her bowl or plate on the floor without even attempting to do it herself. But when I feed her she is always trying to take to spoon from me.

Large/giant Breed Puppy Feeding?

editor — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 21:36:14 +0000

I’ve heard that feeding large/giant breed puppies puppy food (even large breed puppy food) is bad for them because it causes them to grow too quickly, putting strain on their bones and joints.
I’ve also heard that feeding them grain-free diets or raw has the same effect and should not be done.
Basically, they should be fed an adult food right off the bat.
I personally believe that puppy food is a marketing gimmick to begin with and that, providing the adult food fed is a /high quality one/, it would do just as well. I don’t believe that there is any need for the so called ‘puppy foods’.
But, what I want to know is whether or not this information on large/giant breed puppies is true. No guesses… give me actual research, please.
I’d read this article by the Great Dane Lady and found it sound enough: http://www.greatdanelady.com/articles/do…
But then I went through more of her articles. I was very disappointed to find articles against grain-free diets (for any dog), as well as articles saying raw feeding (for any dog) was not a good option. Worst of all, the only raw feeding she even seemed to be basing it all off of was the BARF diet (which isn’t even a very good raw feeding model to begin with).
It’s caused me to question her information as a whole.

Is It Possible For One Feeding Of A Raw Turkey Neck To Make A Difference In A Dog’s Teeth?

editor — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 15:26:01 +0000

My dog had some mild tartar on some of his teeth and after one turkey neck that he chewed on for a while, I saw a big difference. Is this normal? I know raw bones clean teeth well but is it normal to see a difference after only one day?

When Feeding A Dog Meat Do You Have To Cook It?

editor — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 16:05:32 +0000

I mean, humans have to cook meat because… I guess because the human body can’t stand eating it the way it usually is… I dunno.
But most carnivores (well, actually all carnivores but humans) can eat meat raw, so would it be the same for dogs too?
I’m assuming dogs were meant to be carnivores because of their ancestors. But maybe they’re actually omnivores?

Can Someone Help Me With Dog Food Please? I Was Feeding Orijen Which Says 41% Protein, But Switched To Raw In?

editor — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 16:24:39 +0000

dehydrated form. Both are human-grade excellent grain-freed dog foods but wondered why the dehydrated was only from 21% to 29% protein, depending on the flavor. I wondered also if the drop in protein is responsible for my dog suddenly having a insatiable appetite since I switched.
Can anyone who knows about nutrition please give me your thoughts on if the new food with less protein is what might be making my dog very hungry, and also why so little protein compared to Orijen, is Orijen too high, or is the raw too low?
Thanks so much if you can help!

Switched To Raw, Dog Seems More Hungry Now Even Though I’m Feeding Him A Little More Than The Requirement On?

editor — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 09:46:06 +0000

the package. It is frozend raw with veggies. (Nature’s Variety)
So he is eating more than when he was eating kibble but he’s more hungry. He was on an almost grain free kibble which had whole oats as the only grain. It is holistic, super premium.
Do dogs feel more hungry on the raw diet at first?

I’m Looking For Raw Meat & Vitamin Rescipies For English Mastiffs, Also Quanities For Feeding Times.?

editor — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 03:50:12 +0000

My son has several large breed dogs, and the only raw animal parts that are given to them would be bones. The local vet has agreed that cooked bones are more likely to choke a dog. Eating raw flesh is not recommended for our “wolf-cousins”. Truly, if they were on their own in the woods, they would survive by eating small wild animals. The house cat even enjoys an occasional mouse. You risk intestinal problems from germs or parasites found in raw meats. Love your dogs with well cooked meats, grains, and an assortment of vegetables. They really love what we eat! Good Luck!

Im Feeding My Daschund Evo Dry, Thinking About Switching To Raw Diet-primal Dog Food. Good Or Bad? Help?

editor — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 10:45:56 +0000

I have two dachshunds and have one on Nature’s Variety Raw and it is great, I put her on it because of allergies and it has helped and she loves it so much. Raw is a lot different from kibble and it is a lot better for dogs as it is much more natural. See every single piece of kibble is perfectly balanced and that is not natural in the wild they would eat different things that would balance out in the long run, which is better, raw is also more benefitial in terms of their teeth and overall health since there is not as many additives, If you have an other questions about raw let me know I would be glad to answer them
