It is very hard to gain confidence to feed raw when u av been brought up with constant information as to how dangerous raw or under cooked meat is!
But just think about all those street dog living abroad n how they cope scavenging bin and eating god knows what I know they aint the healthiest specimens but it pushes the point that dogs can survive eating god only knows what kind of rancid meat!
The necks I am assuming are natures menu frozen, the first lot I got where fine but the 2nd lot are still in the freezer as mainly big turkey necks and H cannot seem to keep em down.
Also if serious, invest in a food processor so u can mulch up raw vegs n a little offal as a change...man and dog cannot survive on meat (n bones) alone!  |
All of this thread terrifies me as an ex veterinary nurse i have seen so many dogs operated on or even die because they cannot digest or pass large pieces of bone stuck in their intestines!! You say dogs have survived scavenging from bins and eating rubbish on the streets!!! OMG is that what you really think is a good thing???? What about the many that die a painfull death with bones and 'rubbish' stuck in their bodies unable to digest it or even worse starve to death because a piece of bone is lodged in their mouth and they are unable to eat!!!! Is this really what we want to be advising is a good thing i wonder? Are we going backwards or forwards with our 'pet dogs'??
I just know that i would never ever try to feed bones as a main source of diet or even a treat to my dogs, i do not want to risk their lives when they are quite happy eating commercial food that i know is very good for them!!
Sorry to seem negative just that you have your evidence of how poorly your dog got in the first place after a couple of days change in diet, why try to fix something that is going fine in the first place i wonder???
