Always make sure your dog has fresh drinking water!
Don't ever feed COOKED bones as they can splinter & cause damage to your dogs' digestive system.
It is important to grind up raw fruit & vegetables to help your dog get the maximum benefits from them. Use a food processor or blender, or alternitively a juicer to separate the fibre & the juice, & simply add the juice to your dogs' food.
If feeding offal or organ meat (which is very rich) & best not feed more than once or twice weekly.
If you are concerned about upsetting the dogs' tummy, freeze the food then thaw completely before feeding it to your dog.
As adults our dogs are fed the vegetables listed below either freshly juiced, processed or steamed. We always feed human grade steamed/cooked boneless chicken, human grade beef may be fed raw, boiled/scrambled eggs, salmon or beef (instead of big dog barf) yogurt daily, brisket bones 2 or 3 times per week, coconut oil daily, golden paste daily:
- salmon,
- yogurt - make sure to only choose yogurts that do not contain artificial sweeteners or added sugars. Yogurt with active bacteria can act as a probiotic and are good for your dog’s digestive system.
- lambs fry (Liver) - ¼ per week
- brisket bones- twice per week
- boiled/poached eggs - twice per week,
- sardines
- pumpkin,
- carrots,
- parsley
- baby spinach
- parsnips
- zucchini
- broccoli
- cauliflower
- leafy green vegetables such as mustard greens,
- brussel sprouts
- romaine lettuce
- strawberries
- blueberries
- apples
- bananas
- pears
- melons
- steamed boneless chicken - diced
- beef
- We give carrot, apple & seedless watermelon (in moderation) as treats
- pure organic cold pressed coconut oil Coconut Oil - Coconut Magic - Dosage ½ tsp for every 4.5kg of your dog's body weight
- Golden Paste - Dosage ¼ teaspoon for every 4.5kg of your dog's body weight - Start out with about one quarter to one half teaspoon depending how big your dog is. Use as a guide: the dosage for larger dogs is roughly one tablespoon daily. They say the body expels turmeric quickly; so with that in mind, you should split the dosage between two meals.

12 months onwards
Feed your dog the same amount you have been feeding from 9 to 12 months unless he is not showing a waistline then cut the amount of food you are giving him or up his exercise regime.
As an adult the dog should have breakfast and dinner. Feeding two smaller meals instead of one large meal per day will lessen the risk of your dog BLOATING
- What you have fed your dog from the age of 12 months should be all he requires as an adult.
- If at any stage the dog does not have a waistline, reduce the the meal size and increase the exercise.
