Schraderhaus K9 Puppy Diet
Local
Supplement Suppliers
Feed the following diet 2 X
Daily for their meal (If
your schedule permits,
feeding your pup in 3 meals
daily,
split into
smaller portions...is even
better for your puppy) |
1 TB. plain or vanilla
yogurt
|
(You can rotate every few
days with cottage cheese
also). Yogurt is excellent
for aiding digestion.
Yogurt contains Acidophilus
which contributes greatly to
the health and flora of
their digestive system,
helping to keep it in good
balance and in excellent
working condition. | |
The raw meat blend used
here at Schraderhaus K9
consists of beef heart, beef
liver, beef kidney, and beef
meat trimmings, ground into
a hamburger like consistency
for ease of feeding and also
to aid in digestion process
for your puppy |
Raw Vegetables, processed in
a food processor
|
carrots, kale, spinach,
lettuce, broccoli or other
dark green veggies that
would be eaten by people.
You can mix the veggies up
in large quantities.
Then separate into smaller
portions of about a week's
worth of veggies, putting
them into small freezer bags
and freeze. You can
then just thaw out enough
for several days,
adding them into each meal
as you need the items. | |
**A
high quality kibble is
of paramount importance
to your growing puppy.
Cheap quality,
nutritionally inadequate
kibble is never a good
deal in the long or
short term of a puppy
feeding program, and we
adamantly stress
the importance in this
area of your feeding
program. Read and
compare labels to make
certain your growing
puppy is being given the
best available kibble.
Add enough dry kibble
per meal to satisfy
their hunger and to keep
their body condition
correct for their age.
This will vary, but we
caution you not to
overfeed your puppy,
allowing them to become
fat; keeping the
pup slightly on the
leaner side is better
for them than to allow
them to become too
heavy. (A good
indication of proper
body condition is to
just be able to feel the
last rib of their
ribcage when you run
your hand over their
sides.) |
We use Nutra Nuggets
dry
kibble

** Puppy formula for
puppies
through their
4th month,
&
**Adult
Lamb
Meal
and Rice from 5 months of
age into adulthood..
...mixing
the lamb and rice into the
puppy food
gradually over a period of
time
until they have been completely
switched over to the adult
food at approximately 5
months of age.
Due to the
large and fast habit of
growth for the GSD, we
recommend your pup be on a
kibble with
protein content of 24-26% into
adulthood.
Studies
have shown that
animals that are susceptible
to these diseases should be fed a diet
that is lower in protein and
fat, or that they be fed in
a limited and controlled
manner so as to allow steady
even growth during the first
18 months of life.
It is
crucial to watch their
intake for the first year.
Excessive protein and fat
can greatly increase
adolescent, large
breed dogs to a
predisposition of
developing OCD, ,
HD and
arthritis,
based on the speed at which
they grow. |
**Add A small quantity of
hot water ( in order
to moisten the meal to a
palatable consistency)
**1 tsp. cod liver oil (or 1
gel cap)
** 400 IU
Vitamin E (1 gel cap
**500 mg Vitamin C to
start...(see below)
**1
tsp. flax seed oil (1 gel
cap)
**1 tsp. salmon
oil or fish oil (1 gel cap)
**1
tsp. Solid Gold Sea Meal
(for Solid Gold Distributor
nearest you, contact
www.solidgoldhealth.com)
**MSM, Yucca (natural
anti-inflammatory)
Glucosamine and Chondroitin;
each given 1 x daily
**You may also add 1 raw egg
daily or weekly,
**Potato
occasionally, in small
quantities...good source of
fiber
**Fruits
such as pears, berries,
apples, (in small
quantities ...large amounts
may cause loose stools). |
For
Vitamin C
(Ascorbic acid)
We use and recommend
Recovery SA
which has been shown to be
more efficiently used to
repair the body. |

(See Description Below)
500
mg Vit. C daily, increasing the
dosage slowly
as pup gets older up to 1000
mg. daily
as his bowels can tolerate,
to the age of 6 months.
Slowly increase the dosage
to 1500-2000 mg. daily from
6 months of age into
adulthood.
If stools become too loose,
back off on the quantity and
again slowly increase until
they can tolerate the larger
dosage.
This
vitamin has been credited
for being responsible for
developing strong ligatous
and connective tissue, which
in studies has been shown to
be a major contributor in
the prevention of hip
dysplasia. Strong
ligaments and muscle tissue
will help keep the hip bones
in their proper position as
the dog grows and matures,
preventing the concussion
and remodeling of the
femoral heads within the
acetabulum. Laxisity
of the ligaments and tendons
allows excessive free
movement within the joint
areas, causing the
remodeling of the femoral
heads.
Continue
this potent anti-oxidant
into old age for your dog.
For young pups, Crush the
daily quantity of tablets
equally into the daily
food ration. See the

In addition to the meals
listed above, We recommend
that you feed your puppy, as
well as your adult dog,
plenty
of Raw
Meaty Bones on a regular
basis.
Raw
Meaty Bones
are
extremely beneficial for
your young pup as it grows
and begins to produce it's
bone structure as it grows
and matures.
There are many beneficial
gifts that your puppy will
derive from eating raw meaty
bones. Supplying your
pup with raw bones for him
to eat is an excellent way
to insure a healthy
production of strong and
solid bones for his later
health in life and to help
guard against hip dysplasia
and arthritis. Raw
bones are safe for your
puppy, but not the cooked
bones of chicken or turkey,
as cooking will cause them
to splinter when they are
eaten. Cooking also
removes much of the benefits
they will derive from the
raw bones, such as vitamins
and minerals, as well as
additional fat which is for
the most part cooked off
during the cooking process.
Fat has been shown to be an
excellent source of oils
containing vitamins A and D
for healthy and problem free
skin and coat. The
raw
bone marrow
has been credited for
building strength into the
pups own bones as well, and
gives him a boost of easily
and readily available
protein in a form that is
the best way for him to
absorb it into his system
and make it usable to the
pup as he grows. Bone
marrow is excellent for
proper development of their
own bones and joints,
insuring their proper
overall structural
growth. Large knuckle
bones, which are available
from your butcher, also
provide excellent benefit to
your puppy as well as your
adult dog.
Raw
Meaty Bones
will provide them with great
chewing exercise, as well as
overall bodily exercise for
most of the muscles in their
body. This is achieved
as they grasp the bone
between their paws, tensing
up their muscles all over in
an effort to hold, chew on,
and keep the bone in their
grasp. This is much
the same as a stretching or
isometric exercise, as they
will be focused entirely on
this bone for many hours.
This provides them with
nothing short of sheer
enjoyment and works to keep
the pup's body in excellent,
hard, lean and firm
condition. It is also
a very good way to keep
those young pups occupied
and out of trouble...at
least for a while!
Raw
Meaty Bones
are an inexpensive way for
your dog to keep his mouth
full of clean, sparkling
white teeth and will
eliminate the need for teeth
cleaning appointments at
your Vet Office. Along
with healthy gums and fresh
breath, clean teeth will
contribute to his overall
health and body condition.
Your dog will have a longer,
healthier life, free of gum
disease,
tooth decay and other eating
difficulties as they become
older dogs.
Caution:
Do not feed
Raw Fish
in any Form.

Note:
Important
recommendation
when feeding
puppy kibble.... |
We recommend that
your puppy be
switched from puppy
food to adult food
beginning at 5
months which has a
lower protein level.
Maintaining a lower
and consistent
protein intake helps
to insure that the
growth your puppy
puts into his bones
is done at a steady,
even and consistent rate and does
not contribute to
sudden growth
spurts. This
will allow your pup
to develop strong,
solid and healthy
bones, and will help
your dog be less
prone to HD,
arthritis and many
bone disorders such
as
OCD
which can create
problems for them
even at an early age
as well as in their
later years... |

Puppies should receive 1/2
cup raw meat (or canned)
daily; Adults should
receive 1 Cup raw meat (or
canned) daily along with
their quality dry kibble and
supplements.
You may feed one small meal
every couple of days of raw
turkey or chicken necks /
backs, in place of the raw
beef or canned food.
You may want to assist them
initially by slightly
chopping the bones up, which
will help them better manage
their new eating experience.
It won't take long and they
will know exactly what to do
with the bones for
themselves! | |
