redpat1 225 Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Hello Guys I have noticed a lot of you gout there are feeding your dogs a bones and raw meat diet and I would like to know more as it seems the best dogs eat this way. Do I just give my dogs a skinned carcass or do I leave the skin on? I have a surpluss of rabbits most weeks, are they suitable and how do I prepare them? Do I feed them the organs as well? Let me know your thoughts on the subject as its got to be better for the dogs and higher in nutritional as well as saving me a few quid on the processed stuff. Thanks for the help guys as most have you have forgotten more than I will ever learn as I am a newby to it all and still trying to get my head around everything.

Good luck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Attack Fell Terrier 864 Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 A varied raw diet is what I find the best for my dogs. Chicken, Tripe, Lamb, Heart, Liver, Beef Bones, Rabbit. Any veg that is left over from the cooking will be thrown in their bowl as well. Don't ever give them Grapes or Onions, they're toxic to dogs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
redpat1 225 Posted June 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 Thanks for the advice, I will continue to follow this kind of diet as the dogs also seem happier on it ATB Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jordb543 9 Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 (edited) Ive recently started feeding my dogs on a complete raw diet, i get most of mine from the butchers i just asked them if i could have anything they would normally throw away, i get two big bags from them a week, and i keep tripe, fish, beef mince in the freezer and a few tins of tuna and sardines on the side to add in to keep it varied and makes the lot from the butchers last longer, and i throw in some boiled/steamed veg twice a week, theyve bin on it for about a month now and i have had loads of people commenting on their condition and their coats for the last few weeks now, i even feed it to my step dads dalmatian which has stomach and bowel problems on standard dog food, and he is flourishing off it a totally different dog, more alert, fantastic coat and no more bowel issue etc i would reccomend it to anyone, and i will never feed anything else from now on, the best advice i had regarding this sort of diet is not to worry too much about percentages etc just use what youve got and feed the dog! and always keep a bag of dry food just in case you run out Edited June 12, 2011 by Jordb543 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gunner123 103 Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 The dog is first and foremost from a family of carnivores. Dry feed is the equivalent of fast food for dogs. Created for todays on the move society, open bag pour contents hassle free. It dont take a neurologist to work out whats best and whats just simply wrong ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
