cúagusgiorraí 57 Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 Tinned sardines and mackerel is great for the coat. Fresh Mackerel is good as well. I cook mine and remove the spine. Cod liver oil tablets are good as well. Once or twice a week does the job. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kreet 0 Posted September 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 cheers guy's always gave my greyhounds cod liver oil and vit tabs every day and an egg when i was younger . im just struggling with getting hold of any rabbits at the moment so costing about £5 a day for feed unless i use buiscuts . so the fish being free and all would work out well for me just didnt know if every day or every would be to much for them and there's alot of small bones will they harm the dogs or that will they not get stuck on the way down or that as it would be a mamoth task to get all the bone's out the scrapps got a few makrel the other day of a mate but the ferrets are getting most of that as my guns away getting fixed been away a flippin week grr lol so nothing else other than buiscuts and i aint happy feeding them that as i never think there getting enough altho they seem to be ok .

juckler123 707 Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 Used to feed cods heads but removed the bones easy to do with heads. I would mince the filleted stuff to be on the safe side dogs will thrive on it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Frank Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 Raw cod ect have worms, i have seen this whilst i was once grilling a peice of cod, out came, what looked like round worms? I threw it away, but got told that, apparently, its common for them to have it, the cooking shrivels them up and kills them, not a nice thought though. :sick: Weather or not, they effect humans and dogs, if not cooked, i dont know?
