I am finishing up my first month of raw feeding. I am following a very conservative plan introducing new proteins because this is my 2nd attempt at raw feeding and I know my 70 lb. GSD is sensitive.
Jody is eating chicken and turkey with no problems. I will be adding some lean pork next week.
She has had no digestive issues whatsover and perfect stool since I started and I just don't want to disrupt it but I want her to feel satisfied with her meals.
She has been getting about 28 ounces a day. This morning she had a 15 ounce turkey thigh for breakfast and I really wanted to add a 10lb. chicken back but wonder if that is way too much. She will probably have a 10lb. chicken quarter or bone-in breast tonight.
My question is it ok if I start feeding her a little more in the 2.5-3% range? I have slowly upped her feeding and have had no digestive problems. She has been gaining weight nicely but could use a few more pounds. Her appetite seems to have increased. Do you think since poultry is lean she may require more "pounds wise" because she isn't on other proteins yet?
