  • In this video, I show what a typical meal looks like for Tyr. We make sure he has a lot of variety in his diet so this is just one example of what he eats. We want to keep this guy happy and healthy and with us for a very long time.

    Just came across your channel while doing some research on Ovcharka diets. So glad to find someone actually showing what they do. I'm happy you're showing your journey with Tyr, he's beautiful and the videos are great information.

      believe it or not, the homemade meals come out to just about the same price as canned food if you look for the meat that is discounted because its 1 day before its freeze by date. we spent several months freezing meat like that before we got tyr.... and of course, rice is pretty cheap no matter how you buy it!

      @@joeshaver9790 I have always fed my dogs on fresh foods with vegetables. My mother and grandmother did it and too. It is a good diet and works out less money than that tinned stuff and they don't suffer with rotten teeth when they are older either.

      We get strange looks at the store. People always ask if we are having a barbeque because of all the meat in our cart. I usually just say yes... the looks get really weird when I'm honest and say it's for the dog.

      Thanks. He's a sweety. We are getting ready for bed and he is laying on my feet watching tv right now. Oh and fyi, we have started adding fish into his diet. Approximately 2 meals per week are just fish.

    • @valleycountypetresort
      @valleycountypetresort Před 4 lety +1

      @@tyrtheovcharka9771 do you have a preference in fish type? Like salmon? We have access to fresh trout and salmon so that would be an easy addition to his diet. Currently he is on the same kibble from the breeder, have implemented freeze dried raw and slowly want to transition him over. We also have access to elk and deer, still doing research on raw. When did you start a raw diet with tyr may I ask?

    • @tyrtheovcharka9771
      @tyrtheovcharka9771  Před 4 lety

      I got tyr when he was 5 weeks 6 days old (normally too young but he was huge and part of 13 pup litter. Mom was getting drained) anyways.... I started him on a raw/kibble mix day one. By 3 months old, he was on his current diet. Of course amounts have grown. I use salmon but any deboned fish would be fine. Elk and deer are very lean meat. As a puppy these guys need a high fat content. Closer to 2:1 fat to protein. As long as he is getting the right fat in his diet, the rest is all good. I also recommend dyne as an additive to the food. It can help with the fat content of your meat (and it smells really good!)

    Hi Joe, I enjoy watching your baby, I recently had 2 ovcharka pups flown from the Ukraine and Transylvania, Romania, I have done 2 years of research on this breed, they are delightful, always open to new information and ideas that other ovcharka owners have. I also am amazed at the behavior and temperament similarities Tyr has to my 2 babies, will keep watching, don't know anyone in the US with this breed, I'm in southern Mn, I see you are in Tn, too bad we aren't closer,

    How much does it cost to feed this beautiful dog? Especially when he will be an adult dog? Just a rough estimate would do. I would most definitely spend as much money as needed to feed my dog. Great video. Thanks.
