Always get the bargains, butcher in morissons is old lurcher lad and sorts me meaty beef bones etc

That looks just like my shopping trolly except there's usually 20tins of the cheapest nasty sardines and bargain frozen veg and bottles of bleach and zaflora.The girls on the tills must think what a skanky f****r

Got to agree with Downsouth, even if it's a case of paying £20 extra a month who cares? If dogs really mean that much then it won't matter. What can you get with £20 nowadays? A takeaway? A crate of cans? A couple of boxes of fags?

flesh with a handful of biscuits , all do well on it . 

I think for most it will depend on whats available or how much effort you want to put in to get them what they need

Just had a call off the slaughter house, a few trays of beef offcuts,  chicken legs and ankles, beefburgers and bones. Keep your face in with them and every now and then they'll have a clear out of freezer burned beef and so on.

Two big bags of all sorts today, a picture to give you an example of what's there

Some good grub there dilly.

Plenty of it too, anything over or a bit fatty goes over the fence for the local fox population. It doesn't matter how much I put there they take the lot, the fox, crow, buzzards and magies.

I've read organs should be a big part of their diet and raw eggs are good as well.

I find that too much liver has...... unpleasant consequences, shall we say.

All mine (including the good lady's 3kg Chihuahua !) are fed chicken and tripe, supplemented with meaty bones 2 or 3 times a week or so, but I'll add in lamb ribs, a couple of sardines or a couple of raw eggs each once a week, as well as anything going cheap in the supermarket. A little handful of plain mixer finishes it from nicely.

I've never thrown a scrap of it away, and they turn their noses at any sort of commercial dog food !

Edited to add - we chuck in a bit of veg matter. Grated broccoli stalks or carrots are favourites, but they'll have apple or cabbage leaves quite happily !

There can be a lot of toxins in liver mine only get it the odd time.

Meat is what we use during season.mostly local butchers but we do have a meat licence aswell which helps. This time of year its mostly restaurant leftovers as the meat in the place we get it is stink.ive seen lads feed the best brand of nuts (well the dearest)and there dogs would be lacking after a good days hunting or a nights lamping.meat for me gives the dogs something else.maybe its just me lol

What do you mean by a meat licence pal.

[Shovel shy 4,033]

I can go to the local knackery and get a couple barrells of meat for a few euro. They stopped it a few years back so we applied for a licence. It just gets weighed and logged how much ye get. Best move I made.

Pleny a mackeral to be caught this time a the year 2 or 3 fellas can easily catch 50, 60 plus on an average evening a couple of outing would soon add up in the freezer it's a good addition to any diet.

What time is the bbq lol.

 

[dillydog 8,467]

That's what I said when I got there, I usually get a load of sausage off them to lol.

It pays to keep your face in, there's a few other lads that keep their dogs fed because of this place, you've got to be quick lol
