Feeding tables

Feeding tables make feeding much easier. You don’t have to try and remember what you have given and you can better visualize what to give next. Underneath is an example of a feeding table. With an adult dog it is good to keep a resting day once in a while to let the digestive tract relax, empty and digest without hurry.

The daily food intake of a dog is 2-3% of the dogs bodyweight, meaning around 1000-2000g for an adult Newfoundland. Some dogs eat less, others more. This is just a guideline to get you started with.

As a rule of thumb: vegetables ¼, soft food ¼, hard food ½

NB!
Liver: Only a little piece! Stomach: give unwashed, remember not to give too much, very energy rich!
 

Remember to vary the meats. You can use anything you can find; chicken, pork, beef, lamb, rabbit, horse, venison.. As a rule of thumb: 1 herbivore, 1 carnivore, 1 omnivore, 1 fish.

Always after a hard meal, give something soft before giving another hard one. FEED AND REACT We do not supplement our dogs diet with anything.
