Just fed Daisy her first raw meal. Sadly was nothing epic, just a few drumsticks. I let her have the first one and she was quite timid about the whole thing. But i think thats just cos we been training her hard not to eat stuff she see's on the floor. After i started playing about with it and poking it infront of her hyperactive nose, she soon decided it was worth a chew. She grabbed it off me and made a B-Line for my room (furthest away from kitchen). I called her back and made her sit (not having her getting all possesive over it). But then once she really got into it she just bit down hard in the middle and started to swallow the whole thing as it was bent in half

"NO Daisy"

From then on i cut the meat off of the bone and fed it to her myself.

So question, as she is a lab, and by the sounds a truly tipical one. Are chicken drumsticks going to be totally off the menu ? I felt the edges of those bones once she snapped them and they were sharp.

We gave her a big joint of beef a while ago and she was good with that, she took most of the night grinding away at it. There were one or two times where she bit off a huge bit and started to try and get it all in her mouth but i grabbed it before it had a chance to disappear but with these chicken drum-sticks, she was wasting no time getting it down her.

Secondly, i know dogs are much better at dealing with salmonella. But now that she has it all over her face, is hand feeding her treats going to cover my hands in it, and then my face and my girlfriends and my bed and my food ect ect ect ? She does still do alot of licking.
