My puppy's diet.... - Page 2

[thekimballs]

The puppy food thing is slowly trickling down from the giant breeders (who stopped feeding it years ago) to everything from 30 lbs up. The assumption has always been "They're growing so fast--we need to support that growth!" and has bypassed the question of whether they SHOULD grow that fast. In fact, in the wild the babies past the regurgitation stage get less food of lower quality than the parents. They grow slowly and very lean--so in our artificial pack you don't want a fat puppy and you don't want fast maturation.

I took pics of the screaming monsters a couple of days ago--I'll post when they're up on my Web site.

Once a week they fast and one other day a week they just get the veggie mash (but they get 2 cups each that day).
I keep a bag of Innova EVO on hand for the days I forgot to thaw meat or just don't feel like it (seldom, we've had the same 16 lb bag of EVO for 2 mos now)
My veggie mash is pretty simple, basically whatever veggies are going bad in my fridge and I usually add a bag of spinach and some beets, 2 large tubs of yogurt, 2 lbs of regular ground beef, 2 lbs of chicken hearts and livers 1 dozen eggs, shell and all. pulverise it all in the food processor.
This gives me enough mash for about 6 weeks for the 2 dogs.

Yeah this ^^^^^^^

Only I add omega 3, omit the beets, and add garlic.
