Starting Raw with Riley

[Sharon]

Raw Diet

How is it doing Sharon? Did they like it?

I would feed 2-4% of ideal body weight. I feed around 3.5% as they are both very active (lots of off leash running at parks - usually 3-4 times a week at least, biking, rollerblading, and if on leash a good 2 hour brisk walk). At 3.5% they are both on the thin side, and I like that for agility and due to Chinook's hip. I've been told that they are too thin by some, but those people do not compete in agility. Sheltie owners that do compete, say both of mine are just fine. I can very easily feel their ribs by lightly patting them and you can easily see their waists just by looking at them. You will have to go by feel and adjust how much or little they get. Plus it depends on how active they are. You will get it, you'll see. It really is easy.

They are loving it. I weighed Shadow yesterday and he weighed 28 lbs and he should be 24 lbs so I have to take 4 lbs off him. My friend Cindy also sells the bravo and will be bringing me more variety on Sunday.Sting is 21 lbs and his weight is perfect.
