What did your dog(s) eat today?

Bailey got 2 chicken leg quarters today. I am buying 50 pounds of beef on Thursday.

Me too! I want to get Chester some lamb, and buffalo, too. I just realized they have it at the Surrey Meat Packers.

I am pretty sure the only buffalo you can get from there is already ground up with some vegetables. You can get lamb cheeks or plain lamb though. Their duck is insanely cheap at only $0.99 a pound.

Yes, it is ground buffalo I am going to be getting him a few ducks as well. It depends on if I have my new freezer or not, though...

Hi. I was just wondering if it was okay to feed kibble with a few raw bones as treats or snacks? We feed both Laredo and Dakota Eagle Pack, and I'd like to switch to raw some day, but until then I think I'd like to give them raw snacks. If I can do that, what kind of raw bones? Laredo is a 16week old Great Dane with a very sensitive stomach and Dakota is a 2-1/2 year old Rottweiler mix, she doesn't have a sensitive stomach at all.

Sorry if someone has already asked this, I didn't go through all of the posts. Thanks!

Chicken & turkey are best suited for sensative digestive systems but the bones on them are fairly small (yet big enough to help make the teeth clean) and they are usually found with a lot of meat on them, therefore making them better for mealtime than for snacks.

Recreational bones (marrow bones, knuckle bones etc...) are best for snacks. But they are from beef & larger animals similar to cows and those types of meats are *sometimes* a little rougher on the digestive systems. Also remember that recreation bones are much harder than other bones, therefore not a great choice for dogs who are teething & the like. So watch them carefully when they chew on recreational bones, they are more apt to break/chip a tooth w/ recreatinonal bones.
Now some dogs do great on beef & the like right away, while others need to slowly adjust to such meats by eating the chicken &/or turkey first.

But other than that I see no problem with giving them a recreational bone every 2-4 days as a mid day treat.

As a snack, like as in a meal, chicken & turkey leg quarters would be suitable for your big doggies. If you want to give them bones to clean teeth and get out chewing, I reccomend beef & lamb ribs or beef femur.
