skinnyrat 0 Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 a dog is a scavenger,who is just as happy eating from your bin as from a pristine dog dish,i wouldnt worry about your dog picking up a germ or two as they will gladly eat stuff that a human would baulk at,and there stomachs are built to digest all kinds of stuff,but thats just my opinion,and viva la difference good hunting(and feeding)all,Skinnyrat edit ,you wont go far wrong feeding on a prey model diet,just ask yourself what would a wild dog eat Quote Link to post

logman 0 Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 I mix a couple off eggs a daqy in with their food (Redmils Racer)along with a bit of C/A Vinegar(between 4 dogs) They all seem to thrive on it. But i keep my own hens so theres no chance of salonella etc Quote Link to post
Vermin Dropper 2 Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 I Feed both of my dogs on all raw food, it's true that cooking kills off the enzimes which just makes it pointless to eat, if you feed complete food then just give that...... as the name sugests it's complete so giving extras is over loading one nutrient and therefore depriving another. if you want to give an egg a week or so as a treat, then don't worry about it, if you feed a "barf" diet then try mixing an egg into the pulped veg- grind the shells in there too, add some natural yogurt and a glug of cod-liver oil and a smidge of garlic., they love it and its good for them. feed this 2-3 times a week with meat, the rest of the time just feed meaty bones. chicken wings, turkey necks, chicken carcases, turkey wings, rabbits (gutted, skinned), tripe, whole fish (occasionally and gutted), pork neck bones, They just love it, and they'll look great. Never Never Ever feed your dogs cooked bones! thats when they splinter and cause big problems. Not that I've done any research on it or anything, :whistle: Quote Link to post
DiStuRBeD 0 Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 if ur worried about eggs raw whack it in a cup with some boiling water for a few minutes, that is what i srecommended by a greyhound vet over here in oz anyway i feed them to the ferrets, but very seldom(i like eggs lol) the dogs also get them, if i drop one or whatever, i also stick one over the food sometimes Quote Link to post
skinnyrat 0 Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 i believe grapefruit juice is a natural way of killing bacteria,you could use it to also kill bacteria on meat ,but i personally think its overkill good hunting Skinnyrat Quote Link to post
brock 11 Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 why would you want to cook food for a dog,they have survived all this tme by eating raw food for a reason. even road kill,wild dogs bury and hide food for ages,and they dont get bad when they eat the rotting meat. and as for complete food being complete is another thing,manufacturers only have to put in the limited amount of nutrients that keeps a dog alive,so personally i think you get what you pay for where that is concerned,or use a good greyhound food like red mills .even complete foods are a cooked product so really speaking they are no good in a dogs long term health Quote Link to post
pidge 2 Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 A Mate of mine feeds nothing but fresh meat (all hes hunted) raw eggs from his Chickens. and he does very well.
