After reading through this forum I started my puppies out on some chicken thighs 3 weeks back . Mostly it was a lot of flesh and some soft bones. Then I started giving some lamb scapula bones. They ate them up like biscuts. Now I have started giving them mutton with slightly larger bones. They love it.
I think it helped me a lot as I slowly transitioned. Also since I was brought up a devout hindu/vegetarian, it was a huge adjustment for me to be near the meat. Have brought myself upto handling them with tongs.

Hello
Thanks for all the advise, and here I thought it was just us that uses film and tv quotes! the baked feed: I was recommended to try this by our trainer, its by a company called holistic-feeds.com, not sure if I'm supposed to put links on to other company's so apologies if I shouldn't. I use a fish/vegetable/starflower supplement with vits e and a, and very occasionally tuna, though I know there have been some reports about mercury in tinned fish??? one of the dogs had me up a couple of times in the night to poo, but I checked the poo this morning and they were solid, I think maybe it was the urgency to go that woke him, would the chicken digest and pass through quicker? Having had three children I have always been an obsessive poo watcher, (my non dog freinds predict a mad old woman surrounded by dogs muttering to myself about the texture and volume of poo!) I am a bit nervous about the pup and the large bones Steve, I think for the time being I am going to stick to the chicken wings and backs, if I have the bones minced, I am assuming it doesn't negate the efficacy of the meat? I really appreciate all the feedback, thanks, got to go now and turn the hose back on the girl down the well, she just will NOT put the lotion on!

yeah this is the site, would you mind elaborating? I am always looking for another opinion, especially as I am a rookie raw feeder!

I have re-read the leerburg sample diets, it all seems pretty straight forward, just a case of me organising myself and re-thinking the neccesity for a mixer, I am grating veg 3 or 4 times a week, and giving fresh pasta occasionally, but I take on board the starchy carb point already made, I had wondered about eggs, now I know its ok, I can make use of a never ending supply of free range eggs that come my way, thanks again for the info.

How much and how many times should I feed a puppy? It seems like they can eat a kilo of meat if I let them ( at a body weight of 7-8 kgs) . Can we let them have as much as they want? Is it ok to feed one large meal?

Hi Ram,
No to feeding one big meal. Puppies require smaller meals, but spaced out throughout the day. Very young pups get fed about 4 times per day, and as the pup gets bigger, say around 3 months, or so 3 times a day. Then finally when the pup reaches around 6-8 months old, usually a switch to twice a day for the rest of their lives.
The goal is to feed 5-10% of the pups body weight in food, divided by how many times you are feeding per day.
The smaller meals are ideal and allow the pup to not over eat at any given meal.
If feeding raw, I have found that a scale really helps make your meals accurate in amount, the rest is simple math.
I hope that answers your question.

Ram, in addition to what a mentioned above. You want to make sure that the pup keeps a lean body and doesn't get too heavy.
You want to see the tuck under their tummy and ever so slightly see a hint of ribs.
The important point is that you want to not over feed your pup.
Then as the pup reaches one year, you then switch the percentage to about 2 % of the dogs ideal weight in food, divided into two meals.
All this is on the feeding dogs section on Leerburg ![:o smiley for :o](http://leerburg.com/forums/images/graemlins/default/shocked.gif) n the left hand column of this forum page.
Here it is: http://leerburg.com/feedingdogs.htm
All you really need to know is all on this link here. There is a section where it talks about ratios and percentages for feeding.
This should help give you more detailed info.

LOL, To this day I can't watch Stottlemeyer in MONK and not see this scene from Silence of the Lambs! Spooky!
My kids are complaining that I take so much time getting DOG food ready......I said if they wanted to eat raw chicken I could make them a nice meal too......
