skycat 6,174 Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Tripe isn't necessary for pups and doesn't contain much protein anyway, although most dogs love it. Stick with what your'e doing, sounds good enough IMO. But as already said, don't water down the yoghurt, and no, you don't need to freeze human grade beef mince.

Clover 0 Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 The reason for freezing beef is that it can carry the parasite neospora - there was a case of a boxer having to be put down because of this. The parasite is rare but is supposed to be killed by freezing. It's up to you to decide if you want to risk it, even though the risk is very small - I freeze beef first, I wouldn't forgive myself if one of my dogs was affected by this because I didn't take the precaution.

Excellent diet mate, a lot better than what most dogs get. Beef mince is fine yeah. Chicken and rabbit is easier to digest though. I would leave the egg raw though, its a lot better. If you're worried about bacteria don't be, dogs are fine with it. It has more nutrients raw. I would probably leave out the goats milk or youghurt however, you don't want too much dairy. I'd say leave out the yoghurt and keep the goats milk. Look at the ingredients of the Wagg. If it says "contains EU permitted preservatives, cours and antoxidants", or BHA and BHT, or any E numbers, leave it out. Its not a great food actually, I've looked at it before. If it was me, I'd switch to Red Mills PET, WINNER or STAR for a cheap but reasonably good quality food. Don't go for Royal Canin or Hills, its waaaay too overpriced and its basically no better than pedigree chum. Give an adult food rather than a puppy food as he will get enough high quality protein from the meat, eggs, etc. When he's a bit older you can start giving him big raw bones. I give the odd apple/turnip chunk to to pups to gnaw on. They are very good for them, are filling without being a protein food and keep them occupied for a while. Good luck mate! You sound like a great owner! Edited November 29, 2008 by Back Stabbath Quote Link to post Share on other sites
farlap 19 Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 although eggs are very good for dogs (I beieve, they are one of the most concentrated, valuable form of protein that a dog can get) , they do need to be cooked Raw egg whites bind to the biotin that a dog ingests and prevents it from being absorbed, hence why most fold feed scrambled aggs and not raw Quote Link to post Share on other sites
