What part of beef and beef alone, are you lads not getting? You feed a good BALANCED diet Quote Link to post Share on other sites
martnmagik 68 Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 my dogs have lived on butchers waste since being pups. waste being beef to lumps of cheese from the deli section and also including a small amount of pork. along with any game and odd bits the kids sneak to them. ive never had any problems feeding this along with mixed raw veg 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
downsouth 7,217 Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 Richness doesn't have to mean to much of any mineral or vits. It is a heavy and dense meat. It doesn't have anything more than chicken, but lacks what a whole chicken carcass has. The additional word carcass to my post changes the statement completely.

The additional word carcass to my post changes the statement completely. chicken lacks what beef has b vitamins.if I was working a dog very hard I would rather feed beef or any red meat over chicken.a dog being worked hard over a long period can end up anomic if fed chicken.

billy whizz 141 Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 Dogs are scavingers they can and will do well on scraps ect what do think they fed in the days of WW2...any scraps have got to be better than feeding dry food out a bag its pure shit all of it 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paulus 26 Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 as fit as a butchers dog its said for a reason Quote Link to post Share on other sites
irishnut 297 Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 Anemia is lack of iron not vit b. Blood within the marrow of chicken bones has blood in it, contains iron. Dogs need balanced diet. Even a butcher will give his dog more than beef. I also agree that most dry kibble is rubbish. Filled with carbs and very little flesh proteins Quote Link to post Share on other sites

socks 32,253 Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 So its 90% pure beef? 10% isn't very much left for veg and bones that are recommended in a balanced raw diet. No 90% of the meat I feed is beef ... I also feed them hare rabbit venison chicken lamb ... Whatever I get ... But my butcher generally gives me beef off cuts ... Chicken doesn't have the fats that beef has and as dogs derive their energy from fats then a dog that's worked hard will do better on beef than it will on chicken ... There is no such thing as flesh that is to rich for a dog FACT .......... 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 I agree with socks here. No such thing as "too rich" if fed properly. Lads say horse meat is too rich and gives their dogs the shits. Mine will both eat 2lb of horse meat with a pint of brown pasta and half a tin of tomatoes and their shit is the same as always. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
irishnut 297 Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 (edited) grab a had full of chicken skin, plenty of fat in it. your missing the fact that dogs need more than just beef in their diet. stop just looking at bits of my posts and read the lot. then reply. beef has no calcium in it, it has nothing to exercise the jaws thoroughly, nothing to clean the teeth.
