I have a rescue cav, who, in her previous home ate cooked chicken, rice, probably toast & maybe a biscuit or 2.
She was at her foster home royal canon mini bite with cesar on the top.
I've tried to tough it out with the royal canin, but she's not keen & had lost a bit of weight. She's very lean & vets said she could do with some weight on her.
I've had a conversation about raw with a guy who owns a rescue & feeds all the dogs.
I'm keen to do it, but having investigated it prior to homing her, was scared off by the use of chicken wings/bones.
Do cavvies manage to crunch the bones ? Can I grind them first ? Can I give her chicken flesh chopped on top of the pellets ? Got good advice ref a mix to feed, I'm just....well...scared of her choking..in fact I have a fear of choking full stop...
As well as eating the bare minimum, her eyes water. I think this is a breeding thing, although I did buy her some Highlife, which she wolfed down, but it made her eye 'juice' smell. Very keen to get her in great condition & proper eating.
I've had her almost 4 mths...
