What did your dog(s) eat today?

[lv4dogs]

Oops forgot to post this mornings breakfast.

I fed them a large meal as we are leaving to go on a camping trip this afternoon. I wasn't sure how hectic it would be there and how Kaige & Indy would re-act (this is Kaige's first time camping & Indy's second besides camping in our yard). We'll be gone for 5 days total. I wanted them to have a full belly this morning in case they dodn't want to eat tonight or if they act different & I may not want to feed them tonight.

5:30 am, they each had:
chicken quarter (they were huge)
chicken organs (liver, heart, gizzard) (2-4 pieces each)
pork ribs (2-4 each)
egg & shell

And now they are knawing on a beef bone which is almost at the take away stage.


For the next 5 days while camping I packed:
Chicken quarters
pork ribs
eggs
I wanted to keep it simple as I am not sure how their systems will handle this trip.
We'll probably pick them up something different at the store while we are there as we have to go out Sunday & get fresh salads anyways. (always gotta check out new stores for meat deals)

That is wonderful that everyones dogs are doning well. Hopefully the detoxing will stop soon. Indy's coat looks gorgeous and shiny. Sarah i had to cover the screen from Clover when i scrolled down past the Labbies dinners .

Last night the kids had chicken wings (Bought a kilo of mixed chicken portions and they were all wings ), they also had a little bit of beef mince and some yogurt. Tonight they will probably have chicken again tonight, i need to pick it up before trainng in the morning (3 whole chickens for $10 woohoo). Hopefully the meat wholesaler will have some sales on so i can stock up for the coming weeks.

ETA: Clover used to be my "fat dog" she is now the best built out of the lot of them, her muscle mass has increased, and she does not have an ounce of flab on her anymore. I am so happy with how she is doing, her energy level is up aswell. And i hope i am adding a few extra years onto her life.

I was gone to San Francisco yesterday and today, up until now. They got pretty spoiled, because I thawed extra special things for them to keep them in a good mood while Mommy's gone. It didn't really work for Gonzo, he slept by the door all night and he's acting a little spazzy now that I'm home (like not wanting to leave me).

Gonzo (yesterday) ~ 1/4 of a duck (he loves duck, 100x more than chicken. wierdooo.) and a pig snout! He also got a frosty paw for dinner/dessert.

Fozzie (yesterda) ~ Duck leg, a chicken liver & a chicken heart with chicken muscle meat, and a frosty paw for dinner.

Gonzo (today) ~ Buffalo Farmore, and he will get some fruit puree for dinner. He's gnawing on a knuckle bone right now, he gets 10-15 minutes with that =0)

Fozzie ~ Lamb Shank for breakfast, some Farmore Buffalo for lunch, and he will get a frozen kibble-and-fruit-puree Kong later tonight.


Kay, I really like your frosty paws idea. We all know that Frosty Paws by Purina can get a little pricey and aren't exactly nutrionally balanced! I'll definitely make some of those, sounds very easy.

The girls had a chicken quarter for breakfast, Buck had beef brisket. They all had beef heart for dinner and Buck also had a chicken quarter.

The frosty paws flavors I made were: carrot, carob (carob powder and carob chips), peanut butter, tuna, and just plain yogurt.

Sarah, did you make the tuna ones out of regular canned tuna?

We have a ton of canned tuna and we rarely eat it.

[.sarah]

Yep! They haven't had that flavor yet, but I know they'll love it. They love anything with fish

The Timberwolf dog food came yesterday. The fur kids LOVED it. It seems so much better than the Nutro. They had the Timberwolf for breakfast, tonight I'm going to try them on some raw chicken. Wish me luck.

Wonderful! Glad the girls like their new food. Do you think you'll be feeding them this for good now?

I heard the other day Nutro is now using soybean oil instead of sunflower oil to cut costs.

Yes, I think I will be feeding them the Timberwolf from now on. It is a little pricey, BUT the difference in the ingriedents compared to the Nutro are amazing. I wouldn't doubt Nutro is doing that. I was surprised to learn on the pit bull forum how many people think Nutro is crap. A lot of the people on that board feed raw also.

Someone told me that it's actually more expensive to feed Raw.. I said no, and they said I was feeding it wrong..? I'm just following everything you all said. :/

It depends on the individual. For a while I was spending way more on raw (the food itself. I was still saving on vet bills!) Now that I can buy in bulk, it costs me a little over a dollar a day to feed two dogs. I also like to buy the more expensive things like elk, venison, llama, buffalo, rabbit, and such though.

Last night the shelties had turkey necks for dinner.
