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. |

| So after getting some very good advise, from one of the friendliest member of this forum I have decided to go raw. I have read about it but I still need some help. Saya is currently at 20 pounds I have to feed her .4 pounds per day but I want help balancing it out. Should I give her one boneless chicken breast, one chicken liver and a bit of liver, or what combination should I use when I start feeding her tomorrow.
Please help me, I really don't know how I should start, although I'm dying to start Saya on raw |

| You need to feed according to her ADULT weight so that means assume 45 lbs... You would 24 oz. a day |

| Depeding on her age I would either feed 10% of her current weight daily, or 2-3% of her adult weight. Whichever works with her better. Usually I would recommend feeding 10% until it overtakes 2-3% of adult (ideal) weight and switch to that.
You'll need a basic guideline of 10% bone 10% organ and 80% meat (roughly) you can find the bone content of most bone-in meats online. Such as chicken quarters are about 36% bone. Be careful with the amount of organ, it can cause loose and runny stool if feed too much too quickly. _________________ Force Free Training ThreadCheyenne, Mishka, Mickey, Rodeo, & Odin Are you a Husky owner in South Florida?!

| I'd leave the liver out for the first week or two, just to let her adjust to the change in diet. A younger dog shouldn't have as much issue in switching foods, but accidents can still happen. |
