What did your dog(s) eat today?

[binka_nugget]

Thanks! He does get duck every once in a while, I just slice it in half. I like the chicken leg quarters because they are really meaty. They also leave part of the kidney, sometimes whole, on the thigh portion. I also love the price, $9.70 for 11 pounds! I will be switching his type of meat every 2 weeks or so, then he gets variety.

This is where I will get my meat next time...

Surrey Meat Packers

If anyone lives close to Surrey, this is the best place to go. They have awesome deals that you just can't get at a supermarket out here.

I was thinking about getting some stuff from them. I'll definitely have to go now!

Do you have to place an order in advance (how in advance)? Or do you just show up and ask for it on the spot?

Today they had lamb shanks and beef kidney. I have some buffalo thawing for Buck for later tonight.

You just walk in and buy whatever you want! They put all of the meat into boxes, and you can buy small portions or large portions. The only things that are special order are fresh green tripe and duck meat with bones and vegetables.

Breakfast - 1/2 of a whole rabbit! for Gonzo; Farmore Chicken for Fozzie, with a small chicken wing.

Lunch - Hardboiled egg w/shell for each.

Dinner - Eating it right now... some Goat milk for Gonzo with his vitamin powder mixed in; Fozzie is eating California Natural kibble with a little bit of Goat milk to soften it.


Bella's my Lab, don't feel bad!!! I think all of us posting here fed kibble before and have switched to raw within the last year or two - I am a realll newb to raw. I definitely recommend buying a raw feeding book by Dr. Ian Billinghurst or any well-rated book from Amazon.com. You can gets lots of great info about raw/homemade feeding from this board, too! If you are interested in transitioning your Labbie (she is super cute by the way) to a better kibble or to raw, lots of members will definitely help you out, including me!

Actually, it is cooked chicken bones that are highly dangerous to dogs. I watch mine as they eat, and they chew the RAW chicken bones into very small, soft pieces. I really carefully handle their meat, it is fully frozen until defrosted overnight in the fridge. But, the intestinal tract of dogs is so short and their system is so radically different from ours that it is extremely rare to see any dog contract salmonella from raw. In those rare cases, I have only heard of Salmonella being contracted because the meat sat in the intestines due to an intestinal block that was caused by rawhide/socks/plastic. If you think about it simply - is corn, by-products and food coloring (ingredients in Pedigree and similar brands) natural or healthful for a dog to eat for it's life?

The Schmelties had tripe, chicken and a smidge of kelp for dinner tonight. Boy am I glad that they're back on raw! I fed them EVO because of our trip to Kelowna.. I forgot how big and yucky kibble poop was! Yuck!

Last nights dinner was beef mince, grated carrot, diced lambs kidneys and some Flaxseed powder.... yummmmm. Tinny even ate ger carrot for a change . Tonights will be similar, but chicken necks instead of beef mince.

They also got marrow bones the night before last that they were still munching on this morning before i chucked them out, just in case fights break out when im not there.

Today they had a pork roast. Buck had a pig tail for dinner.

Mum was an idiot and forgot to thaw out the bones... so they just had sardines, egg and kelp for breakfast today. Hopefully the bones will be decent for dinner tonight..

Chester had pork bones and chicken for breakfast. He hasn't had his dinner yet, but he's having chicken and some beef kidney. I just have to cut the kidney up into small pieces, but it smells sooo gross

Ki got a pork chop.
Simba and Nala got chicken legs.

Their "mush" for today consisted of:

apple
squash
garlic powder
2 eggs w/shell
milk

The boys had lamb and tripe for breakfast today. For dinner they'll be getting beef, egg, kelp, flax seed and yogurt.

I didn't give Bailey any breakfast this morning, so he will be having a whole 6 pound chicken for dinner. He just had some pork ribs and a lamb chop for lunch.

[bckrazy]

They both got Farmore Beef for breakfast. Gonzo got a GIANT pork rib for lunch and Fozzie got 1/3 of a pork shoulder which was just muscle meat and fat. Fozzie also got a chicken neck (hand-fed) because the chicken I bought today had the neck unattached.

Fozzie will get a little bit of CN in his Kong tonight. Gonzo ate waaay too much, so he will just get veggies and a fruit Frosty Paw tomorrow.

I'm sooo making tuna Frosty Paws. I really hate the smell, though.

Those are beautiful pics of the Shelteez!

The kids had carrot mush, flaxseed/ livamol supps, pork rib and lamb scraps for dinner. They might get a dog cookie before bed in a minute .

I am making dog cookies today for them as training treats, i have liver and wholemeal flour so should be able to figure something out.

I have chicken thawing for them for dinner tonight.
