What did your dog(s) eat today?

[bckrazy]

That's true, Kay. If you want the benefits of raw shells, you could just throw some in the food processor with your veggies & fruits.

Gonzo & Fozzie got Farmore Buffalo, veggies, yogurt, and some rice. They both got to chew on a knuckle bone for a little while too

[The Cat Factory]

Chester had a fish (tilapia) for breakfast, and 2 chicken legs and some veggies for dinner.

This was their dinner last night:



Jack Mackerel
Sweet Potatoes
Carrots
Cottage Cheese
Eggs w/ shells

Raustyk didn't want hers for some reason. Not sure if she was self regulating or if she didn't like the sweet potatoes. She's had everything before except the sweet potatoes but then again she's usually a chow hound so who knows. Guess only time will tell.
So this is who took over her meal:

Tiki, he loved it (of course, he likes everything, I should of called him Mikey)

I have put the egg in the processor before, I might just do that for Ki & Simba.

Nala LOVES them and has no problem digesting them. She thinks they're potato chips.


I just made my three some more "frosty paws." There's about 25 of them in my freezer. I'm going to give them as their daily veggie/fruits/yogurt - they love 'em especially since it's so hot outside. This batch will last me about a week.
The ones I just made had:

apple
celery
carrot
oats
a tad bit of milk
and a half spoonful of peanut butter

Everyone got an egg and chicken liver. Buck got half a chicken. The girls got some pork ribs.

*misses feeding Raw* I'm going to finish up Roxy's kibble and tomorrow I'll see if I can get her to eat the meat. It's really outdated though.. Is that okay?

As long as it has been frozen outdated meat is ok to feed to dogs, provided it is not extremely spoiled & the like.

Outdated as in...??

What kind of meat?
What's the date on it?
Where has it been stored?

As long as it's been frozen and it's eaten within a few days after being thawed (or eaten frozen.)



Sarah, my three are LOVING their home-made frosty paws!
Grrr.. I need to find a nice meat market.

Like it was best sell by June 17 (we bought it a day before that)
It's chicken quarter, and it's been in the freezer.. but I had to thaw it so I could wrap it (but it wasnt completely unthawed)

[Roxyluvsme13]

Okay. I just hope she eats it. The reason I didn't put it back was because she got dirt all over it..

[.sarah]

So rinse it off

[Roxyluvsme13]

Ok, so Roxy likes her meat frozen, strangely. At least she seemed to like it while I was out there. She had a chicken quarter. Lily is the opposite and likes her thawed, plus defrosted for about 2 min. I haven't switched Lily back to Raw yet, just Roxy for the moment. Eventually, they'll both be back on it, but for now just Roxy.

What are you putting in them besides yogurt? We were thinking banana, peanut butter, canned pumpkin ... stuff like that.

That's fine.

Some that I've made contained:

Carrots, Celery, & Tomato
Banana & Yogurt
Oatmeal, Peanut Butter, & Banana

Basically anything other than meat, I mix it up and put them in cups as frost paws.

I've been cutting them out of the cups and putting it into their bowls, or giving it to them in the cups to lick out. It takes them more time to eat it in the cups, so that's a plus. If it's out of the cup they just bite right into it and it makes me cringe! (My teeth are very cold sensitive.)







Roxyluvsme,
Rinse it off. You don't even have to do that really. Simba's eaten twigs, dirt, etc with his meat because he seems to think he HAS to eat it in the grass and won't eat it on the patio. Silly dog.

[Roxyluvsme13]

I never thought of rinsing it off
I'm going to have to try some frosty paws.. But we dont have any banana or a blender..
