What did your dog(s) eat today?

[Kfamr]

Has anyone ever fed Yellow Tail Jack (fish) ?

Anyone?
Has anyone eaten it themselves or know of someone who eats/fed it?

Rusty usually has the same old stuff. His dry dog food kibbles (or whatever it is) at night ususally at 9 or 10 if hes hungry. Then for lunch and dinner he has his mighty dogs can or two(yea he eats little dog food he hate most wet dog food)and with it he has microwaved ham or different meats. He has hamburgers,hot dogs, and chicken with his food sometimes too.

The boys had tripe for breakfast this morning. They've been getting a bit of tripe for the past week now.. I'm sick of the smell. UGH! I can't wait until they finish up the last bit.

Tonight they're getting rabbit, egg, kelp and yogurt.

Liver, oatmeal, chicken, bone, skin, lettuce and tomato, and a little bit of pineapple sherbet as a treat.

Sue where do you get the chicken feet? I've been hearing they are very good to feed for the Glucosamine.

Yes they are an excellent source of Glucosamine AND Chondroitin. Beef trachea & shark cartilidge are also excellent sources of glucosamine & chondrotin. Glu. & Chon. are both great for all sorts of joint & mobility problems & to aid in the prevention of problems that may occur later in life with larger and/or more active breeds & the like.

I used to get them from one of my butchers (which would cost between .89-$1.39/lb depending on what butcher I got them from & if they had to order them or not) but I recently found someone better. He usually proccesses dear and other game animals for the public but one of his good friends owns an organic chicken farm & he helps him butcher his chickens, which averages out to be about 100/month. They save me all the feet, for FREE! (he will soon be giving me the scraps to all the game animals he proccesses as well as an occassional pig(s) & cow(s) that his family butchers for their own private use) Granted I have to drive almost an hour one way to get them but it's worth it. (I get to visit my Grandmother & Uncle as well as they live in the area).

Has anyone ever fed Yellow Tail Jack (fish) ?

I am not sure, I've never heard of the fish. But I did google it & found that people eat it, cooked, smoked & even raw in sushi.

I would say that if people can eat it raw dogs should more than able to as well. If it were me I'd feed it (of course after it is frozen for a few days just to be on the safe side).

Just please remember that dogs need a lot of other meats with their diet. Fish should not be in every meal.

Nova had chicken for breakfast. Luka had beef brisket. Buck had boneless pork. Mandy isn't eating until tonight, and it will be either turkey or chicken. She's on a "bland" diet for a few days.

Oh I already know that for sure. They get fish maybe once a week, if not less. They really enjoy it though so I give it to them as much as I can.

I also freeze ALL of my meats for atleast 2 weeks before feeding - it doesn't matter what meat it is, it still gets frozen before fed.

Thanks for that link!

Chester had a turkey leg for breakfast, and a chicken foot for a snack. He will be getting buffalo for dinner

Sue you are so lucky to get all that for free. I'm so jealous!
My butcher told me he may be able to get chicken feet but it would be pricey so I'll have to pursue another avenue with that.
I do give one supplement I guess you'd call it, Synovi G3.

I wish I was able to give whole fish but the only fish they have around here is gutted tilipia so I'm just giving canned salmon.

I did order a whole hog yesterday so needless to say my three will be getting pork as a big part of their meals after the 22nd.
I also got whole chicken on sale for $.52/pd and beef roasts for $1.49/pd (both awesome deals around here) so I grabbed as many as I could.
Mark said I'm "possessed" with the whole raw thing. I told him first I'm not "possessed" I'm "obsessed"...obsessed with finding deals that is!

I never remember to post our meals, so here they are for the last couple days.

Wednesday-
Bon-whole chicken, beef liver
Roxey & Huney-chicken quarters with hearts, beef liver
then pigs feet for a treat

Thursday-
Bon-3pd beef roast, egg
Roxey & Huney-1pd beef roast, egg

I wish I was able to give whole fish but the only fish they have around here is gutted tilipia so I'm just giving canned salmon.

You can give canned Mackerel as well, it's cheaper than salmon, at least it is in my area. Sardines, tuna etc... can also be fed. (Just letting you know other varieties in case you didn't know).


Last night's dinner:
Nanook: big chunk of beef, 2 chicken feet
Kaige: big chunck of beef, 1 chicken foot
Raustyk: big chunck of beef, small chunk of venison, 1 chicken foot
Indy:small chunk beef, med chunk of venison, 1 chicken foot

They had no breakfast this morning.

Tonight they will be having:
venison
goose
egg
chicken feet

I'm keeping my babies on mostly chicken/ground beef/pork lately. I wish I could afford more but I can't at the moment. I will eat Ramen noodles if I need to but I will make sure they have the staples of poultry/red meat as much as humanely possible.

[binka_nugget]

Breakfast:
Turkey
Supplements (Glucosamine for Kaedyn & glucosamine, yucca and devil's claw for Kai)

Dinner:
Goat w/Organs
Buffalo Heart
Ground Flax Seed
Kelp

Has anyone ever fed Yellow Tail Jack (fish) ?

Egads, even with an endless supply I don't think I could share it! I LOVE yellow tail jack! *Droooool*

Jasper had 1/4 cup of Royal Canin and a raw egg for breakfast, and a raw chicken thigh for dinner. Crunchy!

The Labs all had a turkey leg today, and Luka also had a chicken quarter. Mandy wasn't hungry.
