What did your dog(s) eat today?

**lv4dogs** · 08-14-2006, 10:10 AM

Well the goose was NOT a hit, NONE of my dogs like goose at all, not even a nibble after offering it to them a few consecutive meals in a row. I couldn't believe it, Nanook & Kaige like everything, Raustyk is only picky when it comes to seafood & Indy is only picky when it comes to chicken yet nobody would eat goose.
They went without a few meals because they were not eating the goose. I finally caved Sunday & gave them something different.

They each had:
1 chicken foot
chicken liver
2 chicken quarters
venison strip

Sue, you can send the goose down to me

Today they all had tripe for the first time! Good Lord that stuff reaks! Yuck! But anyway, of course the dogs loved it! Mandy's been picky lately but she gobbled that right up. They also had lamb shanks.

Does your crew like Goose? If so have they always or did you have to entice them at first? If so what did you do to get them to eat it?

And yes tripe does smell something awful. lol I'm glad that my butcher doesn't get it all that often. lol

Nope, they've never had it. Mandy might turn it down but I'd have a heart attack if one of the Labs turned down food ... or a brick for that matter. lol

Sue, I will take that goose! =P Goose & duck are Gonzo's favorites. How much does it cost in your area? It's like $2/lb here, so I don't get it often. Sorry that your 4 won't take to it, that's a surprise!

I just let the boys in from eating. They're happy, I finally got more lamb!

Gonzo ~
Lamb shank
Snacks: Sardines & hard-boiled Egg
Supps: Kelp & cabbage/tomato
Dessert: Apple & Banana Frosty Paw

Fozzie ~
Lamb muscle meat (frozen)
Turkey wing
Snacks: Sardines, hard-boiled Egg, raspberries, cantaloupe
Supps: Kelp & multi-vitamin
Dessert: Apple & Banana Frosty Paw

I get it for free. A family I know hunts geese but does it only for sport. So to make use of the animal they save me the meat.
I was also surprised that NONE of them would eat it, very surprised. The goose I gave them was a year old, frozen the entire time but looked great, smelled good and it wasn't even freezer burnt. I wonder if something was wrong with it? I don't know what but it really boggled my mind that none of them would even take one bite out of it.

Last nights dinner:
beef liver
chicken quarter
1 chicken foot (Nanook had 2)

This morning
just 2 chicken feet each
