Australia Day at the farm, BBQ, family day, Barney’s diet

It was a public holiday here in Australia for Australia Day. We had a relaxed day together.

BBQ hamburgers and backyard playtime. We checked out the puppy playground early in the morning after our training sessions.

Luke talks through some of our feeding regimes. Barney is transitioning to include fresh food in his diet. He has started to refuse his special kibble for his health issues because he likes what the other dogs are getting better. We’ve come up with a plan with Dagma our Boxer Rescue representative, to trial freshly cooked salmon in his diet and head towards transitioning him to raw. He is an underweight dog who needs to eat to put on weight, so his diet is a priority for all of us here at the farm.

Barney likes the salmon so this is a big win. In our experience Boxers generally can have intolerances to many common proteins; beef and chicken etc. So fish, roo, crocodile etc are often proteins that Boxers can tolerate. This is on top of Barney’s already complicated diet requirements.

Barney needs to put on weight but becoming constipated or having an obstruction will likely be his last meal because of his condition. So his diet is extremely important.
