A balanced raw diet plan for puppies – why balance is important
It’s important to prevent bad feeding methods while puppies are growing to steer remove of skeletal problems, according to Dr. Karen Becker, a widely known raw-feeding veterinarian.
That’s why puppies requirement to be fed a balanced raw meat diet plan consisting of muscle mass meat, raw meaty bones (RMBs), liver as well as other secreting organs.
It’s especially important to feed the right ratio of calcium to phosphorus, which makes eco-friendly tripe a perfect component in the muscle mass meat category.

Keep in mind, if you’re adopting a puppy that wasn’t increased on a raw meat diet, you’ll have to plan for a shift period of about 7-10 days from their processed diet plan to the new raw one, just like you would with an adult dog who’s being transitioned from kibble to raw.
How much raw meat to feed a puppy?
One thing raw-fed puppies have in typical with puppies fed a extremely processed dry or wet food diet plan is that they requirement more food than adult dogs to fuel their growth.
But that’s where the similarities end – raw-fed puppies are off to a much healthier begin of their lives than the ones consuming kibble.
A puppy needs to eat diverse amounts of food up until he celebrates his very first birthday.
After that, he can shift to the adult raw feeding formula (2-3% oftökéletes testtömege nyers húsban minden nap a tipikus kutya számára). Az élelmiszer követelménye 80% izomtömeg -húst, 10% RMB, 5% májból, valamint 5% más szekretáló szervekből áll.
Két különböző technika a kiskutya nyers táplálására
1. lehetőség: A kiskutya felnőtt céltestének napi 2-3% -a táplálja.
Ha nem érti, mi a kölyökkutya felnőtt célteste, akkor érdemes tanácsot kérni (holisztikus/homeopátiás) állatorvosával és/vagy tenyésztőjével, hogy kitalálja ezt a részt.
Természetesen használja fel a tipikus értelmet. Ha a kölyökkutya lefogy, vagy ugyanúgy látszik, akkor rendben van, ha növeli a mindennapi ételeket.
Néhány privát kölyökkutyának vagy fajtájának felnőttkori céltestének több mint 3% -ára lehet szüksége. Kérjen tanácsot a kiskutya állatorvosával vagy tenyésztőjével, ha bármilyen aggodalma van a súlyával kapcsolatban.
2. lehetőség: Táplálék a kölyökkutyák jelenlegi testtömege szerint.
Dana Scott, a Dog Naturaly magazin alkotója és kiadója, aki 15 évesnél idősebb tapasztalattal rendelkezik a tenyésztésben, valamint a Labrador -retriever kölyökkutyák növelése a nyers húson, azt állítja, hogy a kölyökkutya jelenlegi súlyának 10% -át is táplálhatja Felnőtt céltömeg.
Többet fedezhet fel a tenyésztési hátteréről a Fallriver-Labrador-reTrievers.com webhelyen.
Ez a választás könnyebb lehet, ha nem biztos benne a kölyökkutya fajtájában, vagy pontosan milyen hatalmas lesz felnőttként. Kezdje naponta körülbelül 10% -ot 7-10 héten, 8% -ot 11-16 hétnél, 6% -ot 4-6 hónapnál, 4% -ot 6-12 hónapon belül, és körülbelül 3% -ra csökkent 12 hónapnál.
Ne feledje, hogy minden kölyökkutya különbözik, valamint hogy fajtája és tevékenységi szintje befolyásolja a pontos mennyiségét, amelyre szüksége lesz.
A test állapotának átvilágítását, valamint ennek megfelelően meg kell változtatnia az élelmiszer -támogatást. Például Lindsay felnőtt Weimaraner 2,5 éves, valamint testtömegének kb. 4,5% -a napi nyers ételeknél.
A legtöbb fajta esetében törekedjen egy látható derékra, valamint a bordákra, amelyeket a kezével érezhet, de nem lát.
Azt javaslom, hogy működjön együtt egy holisztikus vagy homeopátiás állatorvossal, aki támogatja a nyers táplálkozást annak biztosítása érdekében, hogy a kölyökkutya egészséges felnőtt kölyökkutyá váljon.
