I have a 13 week old Wolfie that I am starting on a raw diet. Looking for someone who has a lot of experience with Raw specific to wolfhounds to help me with some questions.
Wolfhounds are not exactly common and usually raw feeding follows the same guidelines whatever breed the dog is. I raw feed as do others on here with an assortment of breeds. The Dobermanns and the Pugs were fed the same adjusted for weight and size. Maybe post your specific query and we'll see if we can help.
As above - I doubt you'll get much feedback on Raw feeding specific to Wolfhounds however you'll get advice on raw feeds in general. I'll pop back to this thread however It's worth remembering you need to keep an eye on protein levels with your Wolfie.
Yes...That's another reason why I like Raw. Rabbit for example has only 12.7% fat and 18% protein which is reasonable.
Let me know what you decide and how it goes. My Wolfhound is almost 12 weeks old and I'm thinking about diet transition.
May I ask why the amount of protein is a problem? I do not have a Wolfhound, I have a shrimp, but like Pereg before her, one of her favourite meats is ox lung - but that has 25% fat and 75% protein [as well as lots of vitamins and minerals] but it sounds like it would be useless for you. I understand a lot about raw feeding, thanks to Joanne [Tarimoor] but just basic raw feeding. Not raw for specific breeds. And I would like to learn more regarding raw for specific breeds - and why.
I think you'd only need to think about tailoring a raw diet to breeds that are prone to a particular dietary related illness, such as dalmations and kidney problems. Other than that, it's not an age or breed specific diet, you just feed a good quality of meat, bones, offal etc.
I follow the prey model diet. I don't know about Wolfhounds specifically but it has worked fine for my large breeds.
