FAO Ella

Hi Ella
Hope you and family are good.
Just a quick question. Got a family member who wants to change to raw feeding. He has 4 Staffs, 2 pup and 2 2-4 year olds. He is getting a delivery off DAF next week. What would you suggest he gets? Just chicken? If so should he get loads of chicken chunks and chicken bones for his first month? What chicken bones from DAF are better for the pups?
thanks for any help Ella

What DAF has available in chicken

Chicken Mince 12 x 5lbs...= £30
Chicken carcus 4Kg..........= £6
Chicken Feet 3Kgs...........= £6
Chicken Necks 4Kgs.........= £7.80
Chicken Wings 4Kgs.........= £8

Any suggestions on what he should order for a months worth and what bones are better for the pups?

Hi Blue, how is everything?


Sorry to hijack the thread!

Really good thanks Janey. How are you?

Yes all good here Hope works still full on? Xx

  

Am here sorry Mike was a bit busy but we're all good!

If they have the room i'd order a number of chicken products and either some tripe/turkey products etc for following weeks once the dogs are settled on chicken, as it saves having to order straight away again.

I'd order the chicken mince seeing as though it's for 4 dogs, and carcasses and neck chunks. IF they have the room i'd personally order all the chicken options to get a good variety.

All the chicken bones are appropriate for pups, and carcasses are very good being larger it teaches them to crunch them up.

Nice one Ella. Thought so but thought I best check.  

Oh forgot. I told him to try feeding them bones in the morning and the meat in the afternoon. Never fed pups raw before. How often do they need feeding or is bones in morning meat at night good for them too?

How old are the pups? they may still need 3 meals a day. I don't stick to much of a routine i just vary the diet, so a good amount of bone and meat, and adjust according to their poo
