Going to feed my dogs raw food!

[collie/grey 238]

Well at the moment im still searching for a supplier, but i'll get there and i definately won't turn back. My daughter has totally stopped the kibble and she is determined to find a supplier. But her 2 at the moment are getting chicken wings, and thighs. This should be ok for a little while. The dogs shite is rock solid and a light colour, bootiful!

C/G, do you feed your dogs outside? I wondered as my dog lives indoors, so is there an issue of contamination as the dog will use his paws to gain purchase when ripping at the food & possibly contaminate floor surfaces. We have a baby due soon so could this be an issue?

What about all that crap they pump into the animals before they get sent to the butchers, still in the animals system when killed then passed over to your dogs, some dogs are suffering because of this thats why i only feed wild, .

you cant send animals for slaughter if you have pumped them full of crap thats why there are vets and meat inspectors at abbotoirs thats what they call traceabillity

Half my dogs live out, half in. Just feed your dog in one room and make sure you wash the floor and surfises (SP), as you would do with your own food. When the weathers nice out him out. Shouldn't be a prob with the babe if you stick with good hygiene.

I've been having a look at moving to this kind of feeding for a wee while and I can see the relation to the natural canine diet in the wild. I have two wee questions I'd like to ask:

1) Don't the chicken bones splinter badly and risk damaging the dogs throat?

2) If feeding whole rabbits, does this not encourage the dogs to fcuk off with their catch and eat it whilst out hunting?

[Guest GB HUNTER]

1/ could do

2/ you should know your dog .

meat from the butcher is human grade when cooked its not suitable fed raw to dogs or any pets , .

1) Thanks

2) Whilst I do know my dogs, thanks, I merely asked the question as I thought it may confuse the dog if it's taught from a few weeks old to retrieve things gently (hopefully) and then encourage it to tear the same thing to pieces, especially if the dogs been doing fine for a few years.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking; just wondered about if any contamination could be spread by paws as the dog moves around the house. Probably a minimal risk anyway.

I'm feeding 12 x 6 week old pups and the mother so cost is an important issue! I'm on good terms with my local butcher and he saves me all the waste and chucks in 2 chopped up breast of lamb every day for £2. They also have been getting mackeral that my brother catches and brings me a bucket full every week. Family and friends have cleared out their freezers for me too. I found that too much liver gave them the shi'tes so once or twice a week only. They are solid pups with good coats and the bitch is springing back by the day. Having said all that - I'll be glad to see them go - loads of crap ! :sick:

 

 

how do you prepare the mackeral mate?
