Pigs Ears

[daniel23 6]

ok then lads thanks for the info,.... and believe me I am taking it all on board... Can someone please narrow this down for me then, I am feeding my pup 3 meals per day now and he is doing great on it..... if i want to do as you have told me to do... feed him 60% raw meaty bones and 40% raw mince beef, were do I start lol.

 

Were am i going to get the bones from and what do I ask for,... do i just give him a couple of nones and some mince in a bowl three times per day? It sounds a bit complicated to be quite honest.

 

Thanks for your help and patience lol, Daniel.

Hi Daniel,

 

It is easier to store and feed kibble but if you switch to RAW you will really be improving your dogs health. I get all my meat from Landywoods, google it as they deliver to most of the country. Storage can be a pain, I bought a chest freezer for the garage and store it in there.

 

I get carcases, lamb ribs, necks and wings (60%) and add minced beef/lamb/chicken/tripe and veg. You can find a list of acceptable foods on the BARF site. I also add oily fish which contains essential fatty acids for brain development. I add sardines and whitebait mainly. I also give occasional treats such as weight bearing bones (knuckle bones), eggs and pigs trotters/ears.

 

Good luck

Simon

Good man, Daniel. And Simoman there is one of the Sense Talkers

 

Personally, I'm a staunch one for lambs ribs and belly flaps. " Breast of Lamb ", along with necks, cows heart now and then, chicken frames, stuff like that. But I'm blessed with living in rural Eire and my Butcher also happens to be the local Slaughter House proprietor! I have the 'stock living outside my gate. I can go and watch it auctioned in town. Bought by Hugh and then taken across the road to his Slaughter House. Within a week my Dogs are shitting out the things that moo'd and baa'd at them here at home!

 

But that's me. I see ye listed as being in Liverpool? Probably be a small miracle to find a Butcher there then, as opposed to a govt. meat retailer? If that's the case, I'm sure that Landywoods deliver to that neck of the woods.

 

Freeze would indeed be a good investment. Mine's only a half sized chest (uprights are a f*cking disaster) which I had to buy because a big one wouldn't fit through the door But it'd hold enough to keep a single Dog going for a month, no bother.

 

And remember; Ye can always put a freezer in a shed or garage. Even erect it a little lean too to live under. Just ensure the electrics are covered and away ye go. Easy street

[mattyg 1,862]

yes mate, take a look at landywoods, ive recentley switched my mutts to barf and the difference is amazing to see after just a few weeks....oh and no more anal gland probs d/s...i always kinda knew it was the right thing to do just too lazy to sort a proper freezer out in me shed! but all sorted now and it works out alot cheaper aswell if u buy in bulk from landywoods! you only get out what you put in as the old saying goes! oh...and cheers for the kick up that backside ditchy, i needed it!

[TOPPER 1,809]

daniel son go the barf route for trouble free dogs i feed mine on ox livers / hearts beef skirts , lamb skirts ribs and any venison i get i take the haunches and saddle the dogs get the rest , plenty of marrow bones to chew and you ll have good healthy dogs trust me iam not a vet

[dytkos 17,800]

:wallbash: :wallbash: Daniel; That same damn vet is, on the one hand, providing the very ingrediants for that 'oh so wonderful and nutricious' " Kibble " ~ it's called " Vet Kill ", by those in the know. She'll then be charging ye extortionate prices For the shit. Then she'll have You pay her mortgage for her by charging ye to look after that Dogs teeth and cardiovascular system, plus it's bum, pumping it full of useless and potentially lethal drugs every few years for the rest of its wretched 'DeSexed' existance and god alone knows what else as it rots to an early death of cancer - all thanks to listening to someone who makes their rich style living out of uninformed or blind animal keepers misery.

 

But take heart, mate. Ye here now and herein lies a rich source of Proper Information. Yes, it's a mine field of the simply opinionated. Those who'll tell ye how they've 'Always done it' and whose Dogs appear 'Fine'. But, if ye really dig around carefully, ye will come up with the handful of people here who put up properly cited, peer reviewed, unbiased scientific information. Exactly the sort of stuff that white coat won't ever want ye to see. And which probably the majority on here can't be arsed to read anyway, because they already " Know what's right."

 

Like Daegorro; You too must now choose.

Ditch just Googled Daegorro, no response. Please enlighten me? Cheers, D.

Sorry, mate. Check out " Shogun Assassin " (1980). Quite simply the best film, of its genre, ever made

i feed my dogs on raw always have and they only get dry when im out camping for the weekends ,my old dog lived till she was 18 so you carnt say it wasnt a good healthy diet ,i recommend it to everyone i meet

[undisputed 1,664]

My mate used to get between 50 -60 chicken carcases from his local chinese minus the breasts still good meat on them! Tripe also good source of protein...might be worth asking your local butcher or chinese take away

[timjim 43]

is there anywhere you can buy pigs ears that have been dried instead of cooked, or does this process take any goodness away?

 

am thinking of starting my lurcher onto raw foods, she is 7 months old now if that makes any difference

 

will have a good look into the BARF Diet

Can't ye just get real ones and freeze them, mate? I'm taking it ye considering storage of them?

 

Regards " BARF "; I personally feel that's gone a Lot over the top these days. Couple of times I've looked at it, it's all about who can post that They're taking the Most trouble over finding the Exact 'right' set of ingrediants to make THE recipe. I.e. It's gone from chucking down lumps of flesh and bone to quasi home 'science' and one upmanship. I mean, if ye really want to get involved in which brand of which Primrose Oil is absolutely essential as an addative, and which ..... B*llocks.

 

Want to 'study' Dog diet? I'd suggest ye time may be better spent searching Google for " Natural Feeding " regimens. Couple of mine got a hunk of cows tounge tonight, along with some lamb ribs.

I don't really bother myself with micro analised proportions and bits. But if my butcher slings a couple of tounges or a heart in the bag? Great. But I don't cut it and weigh it and mark precise ammounts in a diary.
