[Blaize]

Would like to say hi to you all I'm Blaize n I'm from Scotland.
I am the proud owner of a 12 month old reddish brown/white male husky called Logan.
I've had him from 8 weeks old, he's quite a character but i wouldn't be without him now.
I wanted to join this site so i can get help with ideas how to feed him properly with food he will enjoy. He has a rather sensitive stomach and can't stand dog food of any kind.
He has 3 big major walks and runs a day as my children are all young adults, so he's getting plenty of exercise, but he just seems 2 pick at his food any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for taking the time to look at my post.

Hey there Wendy. Welcome to the forum.
You come from my most favourite place ever lol Scotland .
Huskies are notorious for sensitive tummies, Silver and Storm are wheat and anything non meat or with additives or preservative intolerant...
There are heaps of information on raw feeding, but if you get lost or feel like your drowning in text then shout a simple question and someone will answer.
Huskies are also well known for the bounce around feed me feed me thing and then do a well erm actually I'm not that hungry look lol.
Silver stops eating every summer (although she has been poorly this time round) but she cuts down her food intake by halves sometimes, and some days has been known to eat nothing and just lick the food.
What foods have you tried?
Rabbit tends to send picky eaters into a frenzy, but it is advisable to freeze it first.
Don't skin it though, they love the skin. I only remove the stomach because it smells and this is best done when the fleshy part of the stomach has started to thaw out a bit (say over night) then the stomach is still frozen and can be removed without stinking the house out and making you retch lol.
Any way welcome again to the forum hope you find the answers you want and have fun.
Bev.

Hello and to the forum Wendy.
Take some time to read through the raw feeding section and see how we recommend starting your Husky on a "Raw Diet". We usually start off with Chicken quarters.
If you have any questions or problems just shout and someone will help you out.

to the forum Wendy.
Hope you have a good time here. Just ask whenever you need help.

Your Husky's stomach can be sensitive at the best of times on ki**le, however...
Huskies that are "Raw Fed" normally have NO sensitivity to "Raw Food" because it is what their stomachs ARE designed to eat - Huskies in Siberia, as rule have no sensitivity to the "Raw Meats" they have killed & eaten for the last 3000 years that Ma Nature kindly provides for them!
Your Husky can be transitioned just the same

Please take a look at the "Raw Feeding" section on the board - This will give you all the advice you need to start out Raw Feeding your Blaize.
It sometimes is a good idea to read things Twice, as there is a lot of info to absorb, the second reading helps it to sink in better!

I would advise that you then start out with Chicken Quarters - Buy a Whole Chicken & cut it into 4 Quarters!

This video should help you out with cutting Quarters



DON'T do what Paul did in this video - Please place a T-Towel under the chopping board to stop it slipping !

Feed 1 Raw Chicken Quarter, 500 grams minimum, as it is above, skin, flesh & bone, for 7 days.
(Keep the other portions bagged in the fridge)
Then start adding small pieces of other meats with the Raw Chicken.
Don't worry about that too much now, we can tell you more about that later in another post when the time comes.
Just let us know

Any more help needed, ask away & we will help.
Once again Welcome, sit back, relax & enjoy
Ivan.

Welcome to the forum!

As everyone said, they tend to be picky eaters. Even worse if they know they can turn their nose up and get something better (if you have given in to him in the past!...too clever for their own good!)

try the Raw diet, not only is it a healthier option....they don't tend to turn down the good food as much!
