What did your dog(s) eat today?

[anna_66]

Got a great deal on chicken quarters so that's what everyone had for their meal today.

I have a question for everyone...

About the only organs I can find around here are beef liver, beef heart, chicken heart and chicken livers. Of course Roxey can't stand liver of any kind. What kinds of organs are you feeding???

[cloverfdx]

The last few nights have been, chicken mince, vegie mush & supplements. And tonight they also had a lambs heart... yum (well they thought so ).

Anna thankfully organ meat is available pretty much everywhere here, the most common that i buy is lambs heart, pig kidneys/ livers, chicken livers & ox heart.

Yesterday the Shelties had a bit of ground duck, ground chicken, chicken liver and pumpkin for breakfast. For dinner they got ground chicken and pumpkin.

Anna, I feed beef heart, beef liver, chicken heart, chicken liver, turkey heart, turkey liver, buffalo heart, lamb heart and lamb liver. Luckily I have access to a local company that sells ground up hearts.. otherwise I wouldn't be able to stand feeding it.

Liver is very important. Are you feeding it thawed? Mandy hates thawed liver, I have to feed it to her frozen. You could also try searing it just for a few seconds. Sometimes I thaw her liver and cut it up into small pieces and then mix it with canned fish, something she can't refuse.

Kidney and spleen are also important. If you can't find them regularly I don't think it's a huge deal but it would be good to go the extra mile to get them every now and then. My dogs just recently had spleen for the first time, and they've been raw fed since January. I can find beef kidney at a local grocery store. You might try talking to your grocers or butchers to order it for you.

The organs I feed regularly are liver, kidney, heart, and gizzards. I'll feed anything else that I can find. I have also fed tripe, spleen, brains (only when still in the animal), and lung.

They had beef brisket today, and will also have that tomorrow.

I forgot to thaw out meat, and go buy meat and vegies today so the kids pretty much had left overs .

They all had...

Left over beef mince (RAW), raw carrot, an egg each (Clover did not eat her shell for a change which was odd), supplements and a mix of supercoat/ bonnie working dog/ royal canin dry food kibble that we have been winning at flyball. Wont hurt them for one day.. and i will be going shopping for them later today.

I have pork hocks/ trotters thawing for their breakfast in the morning.

My boys got a little extra today, Gonzo went running 5 miles this morning, and they both went to the park for 2 hours a few hours ago. So they both got a ton of exercise! =)

Breakfast:
Buffalo Farmore (frozen, 1/4 lb)
3 chicken wings

Dinner:
1 can of Sardines
Beef heart/liver/kidney
2 chicken wings


I have a reeeaaaally funny story about Farmore! I went to Western Feed downtown, which is owned by the same people as where I used to work, to buy Farmore because I was nearby. I went and got a bunch of various 1-lb rolls, because they didn't have whole cases of 5 1-lb rolls. He said he couldn't ring up a bunch of single 1-lb rolls, so he told me to go get 2-lb rolls. I got 5 2-lb rolls, and brought them to the counter. He was weighing them and he said, "welll... since they're frozen, this is actually only 5 lbs". Seriously. So he charged me like $10 for 10 lbs of Farmore, which is the cost of 5 lbs. I don't know if he meant to and was joking with me, or if he was actually that slow... I didn't even realize what was going on until I was driving and thinking about it. So I got 5 lbs of free Farmore! chyeaaahhh.

The kids are currently munching on pork trotters, and Clover has a beef bone (She is not munching the bone just meat, then i will take it off her). Wooho what a deal Erica, gotta love dog food bargains .

Ohh the pork trotters are the ones mentioned in my last post, uhh i forgot feed them brekky that day .

Mine like tripe. You can usually get it from a butcher. Also my butcher takes the scraps from his steaks etc and grinds it and makes raw dog food that he puts in sausage links you just cut open. I saw what he put in there, and its a bunch of stuff left over like intestinal and scrap meat from beef, lamb. No hooves or chemicals like in kibble- this is pure meat scraps, too small for him to sell, and I get it.. At 48 cents a pound.. One penny over what I buy chicken thighs for. and Boy do they love it!!!

I stopped by the grocery store after Buck's vet appointment today and found lamb ribs, which I've never seen before, so I bought 7 racks The girls each had a rack today, they loved them! This reminds me that it's time for Buck's second feeding

[wolfsoul]

My two had:

~Jake & Daisy's Chicken, Fruit & Veggie Meal
~Buffalo Tripe
~Beef pancreas
~Beef Liver
~Chicken gizzards
~Baker's Cheese
~Marine Oil
~Sunflower oil
~Garlic
~Hummus
~BioVet Skin & Coat
~Kelp
~Glucosamine and shark cartilage

And Solo got some Bolthouse Farms Green Goodness juice.

I just recently started getting pancreas -- it's awesome. It doesn't have a strong smell but the dogs love it. It's nice and pasty so it's good for mixing powdered supplements into. I recently switched from beef tripe to buffalo tripe as well. The smell of beef tripe never bothered me, but MAN, is buffalo tripe ever STINKY! It's great for the dogs though. They don't like the taste of the Biovet, kelp, or the glucosamine/shark cartilage, but they can't taste it through this.

Gonzo & Fozzie each got game hen this morning, I still have a bunch in the freezer, because I keep forgetting about them. They got one each... which is a lot to eat for them, so they're just getting a few beef chunks & an egg & supps for dinner when I get home. =) and vanilla yogurt, if they're good boys.

also... OMGZ JORDAN I LOVE YOUR SIG! AWWWUH!

[dab_20]

Everyone's dogs are fed so well! I wish I could feed raw.

Molli got her kibble, Nutro Ultra. She also got some yogurt and egg. Tomorrow she'll get scrambled eggs and cottage cheese along with her kibble.

[cloverfdx]

Clover had a pork hock, about 900grams of meat & bone. Elvis and Tinny had a couple of small chicken carcasses and a chicken leg each. Everyone got supplements aswell. Oh and foster boy got a lamb shank.
