BORDERSCOT 3,816 Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 Anyone feed tinned dog food? I always keep a supply and feed them in only when I forget to take meat out of the freezer...it doesn't seem to do any harm over 1-2 feeds and they don't mind. Anyone else?

scalesntails 118 Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 My current dogs have never even tasted commercial dog food. I used to feed the old Lab on tinned for a while but it made him squirt liquid shit out of his arse like it was under high pressure so only fed him that if I knew the wife was going to walk him :laugh: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah - that's exactly what I'm on about - I bought 24 tins of Butcher's Tripe Loaf 6 months ago and have used 7 tins. Emergency standby only. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Giro 2,648 Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 chappie............. dogs love it and its not that bad compared to some others.. fed my dog on it for 8 weeks when it broke its jaw.. dog done well on it actually and its shits where firm... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moll. 1,770 Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 Feed % raw. I feed tinned about once per week, usually when i forget to defrost but other times too. Also Dry food now and then cooked and scraps etc. I do with all my dogs from being small pups. My reasoning is....they never get used to one type of food alone, which leads to upset stomachs, diarrhoea etc if for some reason i have to change or they scavenge food.

the_stig 6,614 Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 mix tinned with pasta fresh cooked veg and dry mixer 3 times a week -- otherwise its raw with dry mixer --- never had a problem .. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WILF 46,642 Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 Yep, agree with all the above......dogs can pretty much eat anything in moderation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hedz31 1,308 Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 Never used it always prefered b.a.r.f diet with veg added twice a week i know what they are getting then alot of produced stuff has a low meat content and only use animal derivitives Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I bought a tin on Xmas day as I was at the inlaws and took the dogs as we were going to be there a long time. I forgot to bring dog food so went the corner shop and bought a tin. I threw it in the bin when the ingredients said 4% meat. They had turkey like the rest of us instead. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
relic 30 Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 i gave it to my old dog in his last few days just to try to get some think in to him as he went of his food, he had 2 or 3 cans then went off that but that was the 1st time in 20 years of keeping dogs that i have ever opened one and the fxxking stink knocked me sick and that was the pedigree chum so good knows [bANNED TEXT] the cheap stuff stinks like :sick: not only that but the cost of it and you have got a can to get rid of. if i forget to get the meat out then its a can of fish for my dog.
