I'm sure that this has been covered in depth in various posts, but I'm hoping that someone can give me some feedback on advice my friend was given regarding her dog. A bit of back ground... Austin is a 7 year old English springer spaniel. He is walked for a minimum of an hour a day, lots of off lead...

Daisy seems to have worked out for herself what gets eaten where! If she has something a bit icky, like hearts or offal or minced chicken carcass, she stays at her bowl and eats it there, but if she has a meaty bone, or chicken wings or duck/turkey necks, she takes them off to her bed. Only problem ...

Hi All Daisy has been fed raw since October and it's going really well - glossy coat, bags of energy, non smelly whoopsies, and she really enjoys her meals I've been buying meat from the local supermarket - chicken quarters, heart, liver/kidney, oxtail, sardines, an occasional raw egg and she has be...

Could you do something like making a 'den'? When my kids have made a den, at it's most basic it's a few dining room chairs, back to back with a space between them, and a bed sheet draped over the top, kind of like a tent. Maybe if you start of with a big enough space, and a small enough 'roof', you ...

We've had Daisy for around 7 months now, adopted her from the RSPCA. Up until around 3 or 4 weeks ago, we thought we had a calm, fairly laid back dog, definitely had her moments, but overall, not any trouble........ Turns out we were WRONG :lol: She's definitely feeling so much more settled - and I ...

Morning All, Can anybody recommend a training class in South Wales, UK? Daisy was signed up to attend classes (basic training/socialisation, leading to agility) with a well known local training group, but this morning, on our walk, I got talking to a lady. She mentioned that she also trains her lab ...

We've been feeding raw for a week now, and I think I'm enjoying it as much as Daisy is! She typically has a mixture of minced meat/bone/cartilige, meaty bones, oily fish and offal. I tried to offer veg, but she wasn't impressed - she is definitely 100% carnivore (unless it's veg i've roasted for us ...

Quick update...... Daisy had a meaty lamb bone yesterday afternoon - it's something I quite often give her as a meal replacement and treat all-in-one, and she did her usual good job of devouring it in no time. This morning she had 2 chicken wings (under close supervision), and made light work of the...

So glad I read this thread!! (Yep, all 30 pages!!) I've been thinking about feeding Raw for a while, but I was put off because none of my friends with dogs feed raw, and I suppose it was partly because I didn't want to be 'that crazy dog lady' :lol: , and also no-one to turn to for advice - not a pr...

Thanks all Nettle, I've swapped to feeding at around 8.30 am and pm, with walks before hand, and so far so good - so thanks for the tips! :wink: Wufwuf - funnily enough, I spent yesterday reading the raw feeding thread, its definitely something I'm keen to get started on, even more so now I've seen ...

Brilliant article, thanks for the link x

Hi Nettle, thanks I've always fed before walkies, thinking 'she's just eaten, she'll need to go whoopsie!' - is that not ok? Do you think I'd be better off walking her at our usual time, but giving her her breakfast in a stuffing toy to have after? I suppose I'm stuck in the mindset of eat first, po...

Hi Swanny, thanks for your reply - I probably should have put in my original post, that she's walked 30 mins after feeding (we've got a fairly strict routine, especially in the mornings when time is short!), and I've also extended the length of the walk, thinking that if we stay out for a bit longer...

Hi All, could really do with some advice..... We've had Daisy for 4 months, and it's all gone soooooo well so far except for... We've had a problem the last 5 or 6 days with her messing in the house. It's usually after her walk, and as soon as she's alone in the kitchen - say if I've walked her, the...
