Feeding a Pup Raw

[lurchergrrl 1,441]

well as for dry food it has its benifits my dogs do well on it but i mix with raw meat as the complete has all nessasary protien vitamins etc in my pup i gave him mainly dry and a bit of raw maybe a rabbit as a treat now and again. as feeding raw all time from a pup to me u are looking for trouble in getting the dog to retreive and bring quarry back to hand but thats my opinion ,my dog has grown like a horse and feel complete has benifits as well as raw. raw to me only improves their stools ofwhich u wont get as much.

 

Erm, what's the connection? Why would you think feeding raw stops them retrieving to hand? I don't get it

 

Nice pics Socks

All you are washing out is the stuff the cow eats/processes that's in its stomach. It still has plenty of protein/fat left in it. Folks who tout raw love to say cooked meat takes out all the nutrition. If that were true, we'd all get nothing out of eating meat we cook for ourselves to eat and that's not true.

 

Household bleach isn't used to whiten it, Hydrogen peroxide is, and it has no odor to speak of, certainly not even close to bleach. Some other acids are used to clean it better than H2O2 does. Acids such as acetic, etc. They don't smell like bleach, which is a base not an acid, either.

 

Here's nutrition info on bleached tripe:

 

http://www.nutritiondata.com/facts-C00001-01c20uB.html

 

Raw it has 14g of protein and 4g of fat per 113 grams.

You can click on link to see the rest.

 

Cooked for each 28g it has 3g protein/1g fat.

 

Here is the us.gov site:

 

<http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/cgi-bin/list_nut_edit.pl>

For 100g

 

Protein 12.07g

Fat 3.69g

You can see the rest at the link above and there's a lot to see for what's in raw bleached tripe.

 

I'd not call something with that much protein and fat, not nutritional.

 

I think one should feed their dogs whatever works best for their dogs. I get a bit miffed when I see raw food touters trying to say how anything cooked or in kibble form is bad for our dogs....they don't really have any proof of that. Dogs fed raw still get sick, still get cancer, etc. I don't judge what works for someone else.

 

Cheers!

The pic of my dog carrying a jack is from a dog who eats mostly raw of many types, hare, antelope, white tail/mule deer, elk, beef, lamb, etc. All of my dogs have carried back jacks they've caught and they've all been raw fed since they were weaned. I hear some odd things from other dog folks like their dog will chase deer if they feed deer meat, or their dog will chase their house cats if they chase live game, on and on it goes. All old wives tales.

Analysis of canned green tripe,has 11g protein and 7g of fat, and that appears to be for the entire can. <http://www.tripett.com/>

Raw green frozen tripe has

Protein 10%

Fat 5.0%

 

and some other stuff you can read about. So sorry I'm not buying that bleached tripe raw or cooked has no nutrition!
