I have switched all my dogs back onto raw again after having them on complete - albeit a grain free, high meat content one - for a while. My current litter is a week old today so I need to decide pretty soon what to feed them.
Could I ask for people's experiences and recommendations in regarding weaning onto raw food? It's many years since I bred my last litter and I haven't weaned onto raw before so am seeking some reassurance.
Mum is doing a wonderful job rearing them, they are delightful dumplings at the moment :)
Thank you

I'm trialling Nutriment weaning paste on this litter, they really enjoy it but I worried they would get constipated on it..so am adding a little bit of Royal Canin mousse to it.
They love the raw and only tolerating the RC.
I usually use raw steak mince on the first couple of days...but this is a fair approximation and, with its additional nutrients, will take them on further.
They are destined for a fully raw diet in any case, all mine are.
So far so good.

My pups are nearly 8 weeks old, my first litter, and I weaned them onto raw.
Started with chicken/turkey mince, then beef. I tried scrambled eggs but all they wanted was meat and fish tbh, I introduced bone by smashing up chicken legs. They love chicken carcasses and wings, though they aren't the biggest eaters, mum is still feeding them a few times a day.
