Oldie and aw food?

The Poodle cross I am fostering is said to be 15 years old. Hes not too bad for his age and his teeth look quite good considering. I've been giving him minces, but would anyone risk wings at his age?

Oops, should have said Raw food in the title!!

Re: Oldie and aw food?

Yes I would, but I would bash them up first so the bones are in smaller pieces inside the skin, making them much less of a risk if he happens to swallow them rather than chew. It is possible to swap oldies over on to raw, you do need to take it slowly, I've found pups and younger dogs swap over much easier and get the knack of chewing much more quickly. I'd try wings for two or three weeks, either substituting part or all of a meal a few times a week, to see how he goes initially

Re: Oldie and aw food?

Thanks SL, I thought the answer would have been no!!! Hes been fine with the minces and Tripe. After reading your reply I gave him a little bit of Carcase- I held it but dont think I needed to he was really good.
