Seun:i stand to be corrected but i think excess protein is stored in the body as fats, inshort, any form of calories in excess is stored as fat in the body. The key to raw feeding is what blasiangurl uses, the weight factor. she uses a particular qty/kg as regards to the dogs body weight. 1 Like |

Nice write up I must say. I love dogs a lot, once owned two samoeyed and a rott. The experience I had with the rot wasn't too cool as it was lazy and sluggish. It's only active when it comes to food and after that it hibernates, ended up giving it out. Also gave out my samo when my job became hectic (2years ago). Out of the dogs, I really really miss Ella (samo), she was just soooooo sensitive, intelligent and smart and the only person she disliked was my girlfriend. Anyway that's the past. Used to like German Shepherd but don't know why I had a change of mind maybe cus we once had it wen I was still a teenager. Looking forward to having a Dobberman as I heard they are also very intelligent and yes also gonna have a samo. Madam, I going to follow this thread cus it is quite insightful 5 Likes

castroevans: Thank you. Your dog's are so cute. Shame you had to give them out. But I understand.

The Protein Diet Everyone has what works for them. I know some people will say a diet of protein and carbs is what's best for dogs. That's what my vet told me as well. But I did my own independent research and concluded that a high protein diet is better.(this is just my opinion) From what I know about high protein diet it can be used in 2 ways. To loose weight (example is atkins diet) but it is also effective in building muscle mass(any professional body builder will tell you the secret to building muscle is a high protein diet). A diet high in carbohydrates will definitely make anyone or animal add weight and fast. But the weight gain is mostly body fat not actual muscle. That is why i choose to feed shadow a high protein diet because like i said earlier I'm interested in building muscle mass not body fat. Carbs are full of calories but they are empty calories which means they do not provide any nutrition. I did notice shadow gain more weight when he was on his protein diet. But he didn't look fat or even plump. Infact I remember telling the vet when he came for his bi-weekly visit after i started the all chicken diet that I'm sure shadow has lost weight because I thought he was looking a bit slim only to realise he gained 4kg in 2 weeks. I had to tell them to double check. And ended reducing his portions because I didn't want his weight gain to be too much. I use a raw food calculator that is based on the dogs weight. Its calculated at 2% of the dogs weight to maintain his weight or 3-4% of the dogs weight if you want the dog to gain weight. I was using the 2-3% ratio and still noticed significant weight gain in shadow. At his heaviest weight I was feeding shadow 1kg of Chicken a day. I broke it down into 2 feedings of 500grams morning and evening. Im very strict with his feeding and feed him 6am and 6pm. When I was feeding him 3 times it was 6am, 12noon and 6pm. The chicken was a mix of Chicken Necks and chicken back, beef scraps whenever its available. I was boiling the chicken because he refused to eat it raw. I know a lot of people are obsessed with getting their dogs fat but I'm the opposite. I want a dog thats fit and healthy. I have always monitored and compared shadows weight with the growth chart. I know it is only a guideline but i use it to make sure we are on track. Right now I'm still on josera dog food because I still can't get chicken. I got very little from shoprite this week but it's not enough for him to be fed only chicken so I'm just giving it to him as a snack after meal time. I also tried mixing the shawa fish with the dry food and he ate it all up Can't wait to go back to chicken. N.B aside from chicken, shadows other best food is amala. I have caught my son's nanny giving him amala several times and boy does he slurp the stuff. I constantly tell her not to disrupt his feeding schedule but once in a while i see her sneaking to give him his favourite amala in between meals. Oh well no harm in him enjoying our local delicacy 4 Likes 1 Share |
