What did your dog(s) eat today?

Well both my vet and my breeder told me NO bones for him and where he is so tiny I'm going to listen to them and not take ANY chances

Lately my guys have been getting ground Turkey or Chicken (w/bones) because I've been way too lazy to feed anything else.

I'll have to make a trip out to the store this week and pick up some of the good stuff.. emu, tripe, ostrich.. yummy!

Keegan got 2 pork necks with quite a bit of meat and some chicken gizzards/liver.
After 2 months of raw reading people giving their animals PORK PICNIC I FINALLY over the weekend FOUND IT! I bought 2 and she'll be getting that in a day or so..

How big are the picnics? I have to cut a lot of the meat off of the ones I give. I buy whole roasts and have the butcher halve them, then I cut off about 1/2 of the meat. If I feed it all at once my dogs get some really smelly farts. I know a lot of dogs have problems with large amounts of pork, so just a word of caution.

Seriously, it's not just that it's gas, it's some of the WORST smelling farts ever! So be forewarned!

My guys have been getting mostly turkey and pork picnics. The turkeys were on sale obviously around Thanksgiving and the pork picnics have been a good price for whatever reason so I stocked up. They have also gotten tripe, lamb shanks, and mackeral, but mostly they have gotten turkey and pork since I last posted.

I think they are about 7 pounds each.
Thanks for the warning.

She has gotten some pork roasts so she is used to pork. I have her on a garlic supplement for fleas and ticks from Springtime Inc and boy has that brought on the rannnnkkk farts and gas. eeeww!
I try to vary her meat - tho I do (unfortunately) feed a lot of chicken it seems like, darn the cheap price! I have lots of pork and deer liver for when I am ready to feed her. I got some freezer burnt deer meat on Thanksgiving my cousin had processed it himself and had cut it up to make jerky out of it but never did. So the meat was cut up into small approximately one inch size pieces. Not ideal, as I don't normally feed her ground unless I wrap her pills in it, but she loved it. But after it had been in the fridge for about a week, and I was like I'm going to HAVE TO use that asap, I stuffed it into her kongs. SHE LOVES IT! She hasn't gotten her kong much since going to raw, and that's great since before EVERY TIME I ate I had to put SOMETHING into her kong to keep her away from my food!
Surprisingly she self -regulates very well. I am quite surprised. It took her almost a week to eat a turkey! About 12 pounds I think. I am not sure how she'll do with the large piece of meat, she doesn't like huge chunks of meat like the raw board recommends. She NEVER has. Since the time she was a puppy she would carry things that were too big around and around and around whining the entire time. I may have to cut the picnic, we'll see I guess. The one thing she hasn't gotten is tripe, and she doesn't get overly excited when I give her fish either. Barely touches it.
I think I have babbled on enough.....

Kay, I started Fozzie on raw shortly after I got him... which was when he was about 9-10 weeks. He definitely took to it right away! I started him on Farmore & chicken and he actually ate everything really well. Chicken quarters might be a little difficult with his milk teeth, but wings/backs/necks are pretty easy for pups. I fed him 50% kibble as well, because I hadn't been feeding Raw for very long, and puppies are a little bit trickier to feed. I'm sure Moo will love it!

Fozzie & Gonzo both got 2 beef ribs today, and some ground lamb. They each had an organ meal for dinner with sardines. Then they got peanut butter & toothpaste stuffed Kongs because sardines give them really disgusting breath.
