8 week old puppy RAW diet

Hi All

Is it ok to start our 8 week old pup to go on the RAW food diet. I have based the ammount on 2.5% of an expected adult weight of 15kg, which equals 400g a day, based on raw chicken wings with some offal.

Your advice would be greatly appreciated.

Best Regards
Jamie

No problem, but make sure you've read up everything you can on raw feeding. If you haven't seen them before, the following are worth a read...

Yes it's fine to start an 8week old pup on raw, I'll be doing it in 4weeks lol!

The only thing would be variety. You need to feed more than just chicken wings and offal. Chicken carcasses, lamb ribs etc and whole 'prey' if you wanted such as whole rabbits!

Some ideas for meals which Ella has made!
