So would you just suppliment with an all round vitamin to make sure you were covering them all if you were feeding raw or do people mix and match what they 'think' they need to give their dog? I am curious about feeding raw so I was just wondering!

I supplement with a powder containing Vit.E, Vit.C, Brewers yeast, & Dolomite. They are also given Kelp, plus a variety of foods including fish, eggs, offal, fruit, veg., etc. The idea being to provide a balanced diet over several days, not to try & provide a balanced meal every single day.

There are a lot of internet sites & forums dedicated to feeding raw.

Thank you everyone for replying i am feeding rosie on naturediet. I asked if there was anything that i should be giving her because she is now seven and and next year she will be considered as old .
But if she doesnt need anything now then thats great.

I wouldnt worry Sarah, Naturediet is a briliant dog food, she will be fine on the adult one for many years to come, she looks great on it

The first thing I noticed when I started supplementing my dogs with vits was the grey hairs stopped! Theirs not mine
At that time they were being fed on the Pitcairn diet, it is a healthy powder that is suitable for any type of diet you are feeding them, if anyones interested I can post the ingredients of it for you to make yourself.
