Barf diet

[wilbur foxhound 480]

Been feeding my pup on ground chicken wings, ground rabbit and ground pheasant, gave him minced beef yesterday and today from the local supermarket and now he is shitting through the eye of a needle could this be down to the lack of bone or maybe just a tad too rich for him

if you change a dogs diet it will have the shits for a few days

Cheers Wilbur, i just thought the beef would of been an ok alternative to the ground rabbit he been getting, he is back on his normal diet from tomorrow so hopefully be ok again

philkenp, what does the barf diet contain for your pup? just rabbit and nothing else? reddawn as well

 

can buy barf mate, it comes in minced lamb/beef/beef/chicken or any other meat or combo's of 2 or more meats, or things like lamb necks, chicken carcases an such, i also feed the game i catch, but i only do that about 2 or 3 days a week as i dont think there is enuff fat an such on things like bunnys so i like to make up for that with the lamb an beef by getting the fattier stuff, my dogs also eat a lot of veg an things like herbs off the allotments an i do throw assorted veg in a blender when i cant get the mutts over the plot for a graze

dint think about that mate but saying that my pup is quite a big chunky thing so hopefully hes getting enuff fat

too much game wont be enuff for a pup mate, either get some beef or lamb for it or get some mixer or summat

thanks for the info when you saw ground do you mean minced? and some of the rabbits i get are absolutely packed full of fat in the kidney area, i cut these out and give it to the pup, is this still not enough fat? i will definetly start feeding more fat in the form of beef and lamb though, thanks for the info

no need to mince most stuff up i dont, i feed chicken whole an chicken mince, i feed lamb minced an necks an ribs same as beef, only reason i feed minced stuff is thats how it comes when you buy it, it does have a lot of grizzle/bones/feather an other nice bits in it, that aint in out human mince

 

check out durham animal feed site to see the selection the offer, if you are feeding barf id recomend you use summat other than rabbits an such as a base, i alternate between beef an lamb an feed chicken to gee them a break, an ofcourse 2 or 3 days a week i will feed whole bunnys minus the guts that have been frozen for 28 days to kill all worms, hares, venison, pigeon, an anything else i come across, i do feed whole bunnys with the guts aswell now an again an the dogs love them above all else, but i do keep on top of worming
