What did your dog(s) eat today?

[lv4dogs]

It's been so hectic lately, most meals my dogs are just getting chicken quarters & halves with some organs. An occasional tuna, salmon or mackeral dish is added in here or there, usually with cottage cheese and egg.

They are getting beef though tonight.

Wow, 4-5 pounds? That's more than my dogs get combined

Yesterday they all had a chicken quarter for breakfast. Buck had beef heart and brisket for dinner.

This morning the Labs had pork ribs for breakfast, but Mandy refused to eat. She's not eating well lately, I'm going to get her bloodwork done today to make sure she's okay.

Last night, the fur kids had salmon, raw egg with shell and some cottage cheese. Every night at 6:30 they are bouncing around waiting for dinner. They absolutely love the raw diet.

Sarah, I hope everything is ok with Mandy plese keep us posted on her.

Just wondering how much you feed your dogs daily? Between the 4 of mine they get about 4-6lbs. (Kaige & Indy about a 1-1.5 each, Nanook about 1.5, Raustyk about 1.5-2

I hope nothing serious is wrong with Mandy. Keep us posted please, she's in my thoughts.

Last night my gang ate:
ground beef
assorted beef organs
egg & shell
pork
some carrots (had to use them before they go bad)

Kaige & Raustyk had a little bit of chicken left over from the chicken halves they ate for breakfast yesterday.

This morning they had pork

Tonight will be assorted beef pieces, ground, organs, stew meat & steaks.

Nova and Mandy are fed around .75 lbs per day, they are both a little overweight and not losing (another reason I'm having Mandy's bloodwork done, Nova's was done recently and checked out fine) but are fed less to not gain. Luka gets around one pound a day, and Buck gets around 1.25-1.5 pounds a day. I guess that is around 4 lbs a day for everyone.


Thanks everyone for the well wishes for Mandy.

I talked to a friend of mine at work and come to find out she has a bunch of "leftovers" in her freezer and didn't know what to do with them. Of course I volunteered to take it! So far we've gotten beef tongue (too expensive at the grocery so I've never feed it), ox tail and and beef liver and are hoping to get a bunch more meat that they've had in their freezer for a while (even venison).
Why didn't I think to ask anyone this sooner Free meat is the best!

Ohhh and next month we are going to be buying a half of a cow, we'll get all the leftovers too! I'm excited!

So far everyone is doing wonderfully and loving their raw food

I've been reading a lot and found out that you should feed pieces as large as their head to keep them from choking and/or gulping their food.
I had bought some chicken legs on sale and gave them but they just gobbled. Does anyone else have gobblers?

I see a lot of you feed tripe. Do you order it? I've never seen anything around here except for the bleached tripe they have at the grocery and I know that's of no nutritional value.

I guess I could put what I've fed today...

Bon-Whole Chicken
Roxey & Huney-Chicken quarters

Raustyk will gobble smaller pieces and Kaige will as well, but not quite as bad as Raustyk. Idealy yes you should feed pieces that are as large or larger than their heads but me personally, it's hard to get meats that large & fit them in my freezer. I generally don't feed anything smaller than a chicken quarter (unless I get a REALLY good deal). Once I get a chest freezer I will be buying larger pieces of meat.

I feed tripe but not that often because I too can not find "green" tripe (non-bleached) in my gorcery stores. I have to purchase it right from the butcher.

Kai's not a gobbler anymore but he used to swollow wings whole when he was young. It scared the heck out of me! I had to hold onto smaller bones for a while but he seemed to understand that he had to chew so he's fine now.

I feed tons of tripe! It smells horrid but the dogs LOVE it and it's pretty darn cheap too! The place I get it from sells it for .68 a pound. I also found a wholesale priced butcher who carry it.

Try your local butchers, who knows, maybe they'll be able to order it for you if they don't normally carry it.

I've been slowly switching the girls over to a raw diet. I started a few weeks ago by giving them a chicken leg every once in awhile. I had some chicken legs and was curious to see if they would even eat it. Tori was a bit hesitant at first, but it was only for a few seconds really..lol. Katie is the one who really surprised me. Katie is a picky eater. She doesn't eat much and often skips meals. She immediately knew what that first chicken leg was all about and ate that thing like she had been waiting for that kind of meal her whole life. It actually felt good to watch her eat with such gusto. They have been getting the chicken legs along with their kibble still and then this week they have had chicken quarters every day and the other day they refused to bother with their kibble/can food mix. They just stuck their noses up in the air and looked at me like...."Ok, where is the good stuff"? Not for sure where this will go. Just taking it day by day and seeing how they do, act and feel.

Here are the girls enjoying their chicken quarters today

LOL! You would never know he eats that much daily since he is still pretty thin and not gaining alot of weight. He is finally up to 90 pounds, but I don't know where all that weight is!

Today they had beef muscle meat & organs. They'll be getting chicken backs/necks, egg, and flax seed for dinner tonight.
