Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| Subject: Feeding my husky!! Sun Dec 04, 2016 3:33 pm | |
| I recently got my husky he is 20 month old and approx 22.15kg (so I was told when I got him) I've had him on a mixture of dry and wet food which I don't thinks doing him much good, and he doesn't always want to eat but is hungry I have read up on the raw food diet which I was hoping someone could help me out with some more information such as what type, where from and how much to feed. Any suggestions and advice would be much appreciated even if there is any other types of food anyone could suggest! Thank you in advance |

| Hayley, I can't help since mine are on dry food - but I think it would help us if you'd tell us where you are - general locale works well. Very few of us, I think, would refer to Kg's - most of us are in the US and still use the ancient Imperial system. If you're outside the US, it helps immensely if we know that. _________________ “Properly trained, a man can be dog’s best friend.” Corey Ford . |

| Welcome to the forum Haley....have you had a chance at looking at the raw feeding section of the forum? That will give you a ton of info. I feed a partial raw diet, so kibble and raw, raw is fabulous! Another option is the premixes from companies like The Honest Kitchen, Sojo's and Grandma Lucy's, not sure if any are available, but those seem to be a great way to get into raw feeding, and are balanced. So you can also do a search for those brands here at the forum to learn more about those as well. After reading up, if you can ask specific questions, that will be easier to help you. I do know that feeding all raw without the premixes, you have to make sure all is balanced. I am unsure of availability for you. For me I pick up raw when I shop for myself. Most raw feeders do start with chicken first, it is a more bland protein, bones are easier to consume. Let me know how much info you have received and then we take it from there. Oh forgot to mention most feed 3% of their current body weight, so at 50 pounds you would feed 1.5 pounds of raw a day to maintain weight, stick to that for a few weeks, if you want him to gain weight, 1.75-2 pounds a day, you have to do some visual checks and weigh them to see results, as far as maintaining or increasing, I assume you do not want him loosing weight. is he breed standard in height, his weight is pretty close to standard or is standard for a male. |
