    I’ve decided to keep Gember on a raw diet for now at least. She struggled a bit with the separation and so went off her food, did a bit of howling and whining.

    Chris suggested forcing the older dog to sleep with her and immediately she changed to a very happy and contented puppy. Howling and whining stopped immediately and none since.

    When we collected her a week ago, she was on a tripe/beef mince mix, we added in lamb mince to vary it, but she was off her food. Cut her back to a couple of meals of tripe only, and she got eating again. Grabbed a lamb chop without a bone in and she went crazy with it, so we're back to the three meats but she gets the lamb as a cut now to chew up instead of minced.

    I need to do more research on the feed, and get some other options to vary it as well.
    EeeBees and Hautapu like this.

    Second that. Follow breeder recommendations which will be as above for a puppy mix nibble dry food supplemented with other mixes. Cooked meat, eggs, rice mixes etc.
    I think we started our 2 off with something like that. We did not really move to raw food until they would have moved off puppy mix.
    Now its 75% raw mix and the rest kibble.
    My setter Is a garbage guts and seems to cope with most any thing including fur covered skin. (i try and limit how much skin and fur he eats as i would not want him to get a blockage.)
    He gets mostly goat.
    My wife's westhighland terrier is sensitive and he mostly gets supper market raw pet food chicken or lamb. I give some goat if it's young.
    Old stinky goat give him and my Dads curly coated retrievery the runs.
