Boil it up...... chop it up...... and mix it with the normal feed if you like........not too much though.....freeze the rest to use at a later date.

Beef heart is fine as is any heart really.........no reason not to give often if you so wish... but it is beneficial to have variation in a working dogs diet.

i give my dog 2/3 of a pound every day,raw, of either minced beef or minced beef heart or tripe? he has a bowl of complete dry feed sitting to eat whenever,he is 26pound.and he does ok and is in good health,each to there own

Yes, there's nothing than makes my heart swell more than the charming sight of a pack of wild Dogs sitting around their little camp fires as they boil their meat, prior to running it through a mincer

 

Why do people do these things? Makes work and smells for ones self and deprives the Dog of one of the natural and beneficial aspects of eating something in the first place.

 

How may hearts does a lamb have ....? Ok. And a Dog, gone bush, would likely be a very happy Dog to have a lamb a week to himself, yes? So ye see what he'd be eating? A load of flesh and bone - as is. No boiling. No mincing - and, if he could beat the others to it, One heart. Just as, now and then, he may be first to snap up One liver.

 

Some people have actually sat down and worked out the percentages on all this. It's sort of 'Beyond the BARF' thinking about feeding. They call it " Natural Feeding ". I don't have such figures to hand. But, basicly, I still work to the concept that a Dog in the 'natural' state would eat a fraction of organs a week compared to the huge percentage of raw flesh and bones that would make up his diet.

 

Translating that to Janet and John terms; I give an average sized Dog a lambs heart on an as and when basis. If I had a freezer full of the things? Certainly no more than one a week.

 

Organ meat tends to soften the shit.

i wouldnt give too much follow ditches advice or putting it plain your dog will have the shits

[dawnraider 2]

i get pet mince from my local butcher for the ferrets,but am planning to introduce it into my pups diet,its full of meat obviouslyand all the old crap like arteries,tendons,grissle and fat going to slowly mix it with his regular grub .as for the heart did anyone see the wolfman on tv a bloke living with a pack of wolves and he was the alfa male but to do so he had to take the main organs from the road kill and outher stuff he fed them and eat himself to remain top dog.so surely in the wild one animal would regularly have a feast of heart and liver with no ill effects.

cheers ditch so you would only feed it raw? and twice a week? would be ok

[Guest Ditch_Shitter]

I only Ever feed my Dogs raw flesh and bones, mate. There's simply no point in cooking or mincing it and plenty of disadvantages to doing such things with it. (Some will say it fits the freezer better, if minced down? I say get a bigger freezer and simply squash the stuff down harder. Anyway, even lamb breasts fit tightly together and compact well).

 

Hearts / organs? Twice a week would be the absolute maximum I'd like to feed it. Even then balanced out with muscle meat and raw bone.

 

My mate's at the gate. I'll get some shots up for ye later, if I remember.

[Guest Ditch_Shitter]

Here ye go, mate. A sample of what my lot have just this minute enjoyed. As good as a meal can get, all in one convenient package. Just chop and serve.

Hi DS

How much do you pay for lambs breast where you are?

It is E3. where I live.

[Guest Ditch_Shitter]

Ye know, I'm honestly not sure, mate. I bought a carrier bag bursting open with fresh breasts yesterday. But I also had two chicken legs and two wings, for myself. I remember that came to 15 Euro.

 

Let me just put it this way; I'm living hand to mouth here. I struggle like hell from one end of the month to the other. But feeding my Dogs never really concerns me. Barely a blip of the budgetry radar.

 

I'd say, between three medium sized Dogs, I get through less than a pair of breasts a day. I guess I buy it in twice a week. Probably costing me around twenty something Euro a week to feed three Dogs like royalty? That's around a british fiver a week, per Dog. If a man can't spend a fiver a week to feed a good Dog, what's he doing with the damn thing? Fair comment?
