RussBoy 77 Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 I have been offered various raw meats for dogs but only thing is they are in bulk so don't want to buy all different kinds. What 2 would be best to go for? Chicken knecks, minced beef, minced lamb, tripe, minced chicken Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnipper 6,485 Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Minced chicken, I might go for the necks too but not sure on the bone/meat ratio. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RussBoy 77 Posted January 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Ye was thinking the chicken mince and beef mince. Would the chicken knecks be any good considering the chicken mince has bones in it anyway? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tiny 7 1,694 Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Minced lol 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Belfasthunter 12 Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Tripe and chicken seems to do a good job for me I also give them dry mixer aswell tho Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yea feed them necks aswell pal gives the dog something to chew on that's why I like lamb ribs necks as well 1lb chicken mince and a pint of dry meal every day Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RussBoy 77 Posted January 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 What do people prefer feeding beef or chicken? Pros an cons of both? I just want to make sure I choose the best for me mutts Quote Link to post Share on other sites
beast 1,884 Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 make sure you get some bone into the dogs not just flesh. flesh alone isnt a balanced diet, they need bone to get the calcium content for forming and maintaining their own bones. personally i would go for the chicken necks and the lamb 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nik_B 3,790 Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Can you chop the neck up and mix it in with the mince or do you give it whole? I'm trying to work out the best way to do this to avoid too much mess. Also would you include the weight of bone in say chicken wings in the weight of the food?

Tiny 7 1,694 Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Mate feed by eye. Never mind weights ect ... bone wise you'll soon know if there to much bone to meat ratio as the shit will be white pebbles ect Good balanced diet with variety is the key. Dont make things hard for yourself keep it easy 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RussBoy 77 Posted January 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Chicken drumsticks cheap in tesco these ok to feed? Mine crunched them right up last night Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nik_B 3,790 Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Cant get down to the farm till tomorrow so as an experiment I bought some drumsticks and minced beef....he's eating better than me tonight. As I suspected he dragged the drumstick off to his bed, I suppose it makes sense he cant eat it from his bowl. Gave it him first in the hope he wouldn't arse about with it too long and then I'll do minced beef with a few bits n bobs in it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
