How many dogs do you have Tashi?



Yeah, i'm hoping to avoid the messy bit as he's been having a bit of raw mince and chicken now and again, also we've never had any problems with other food changes. Even if it is messy I'm sure its going to be worth it in the long term.

Anyone fancy telling me what they feed on a weekly schedule as I've read its best to vary the meats fed daily?
i give mine chicken everyday and offal 3 times a week cottage cheese and yoghurt 3 times a week a little mince sprinkled on top just when i have it veg, garlic, oil, kelp and vitimins everyday raw egg 3 times a week. they also get other bones to chew on to, dont give oil tho on days you give liver. think thats it all, you will soon find your own way of sorting it all out

Re: Talk to me about a BARF diet....

I currently feed my english cocker spaniel on the raw diet and I've never looked back. He used to be fed on Eukanuba which I though was pretty good until a friend recomended the raw diet and couldn't believe the difference! I don't know if what I feed can be classed as the BARF diet though, because we also feed raw veg and par cooked brown rice.

I have a couple of questions though - raw lab ribs, are they okay to feed? I got them cheap from the supermarket but thought I better check first. and also, what about fish? what parts of the fish can/can't be fed raw (I'm a bit worried about fish bones as they're much smaller than chicken bones) are raw fish bones okay for dogs or are they just as dangerous to dogs as they are to us?

Thanks!

Ginny has lamb rib bones ( I presume that's what you meant), but I froze them first. Not sure if necessary, but easier to store. She loves them - eats the lot. Haven't tried fish yet, but intend to soon. I would guess it's the same with fish bones as with chicken, ie raw is ok, but cooked is not, but I would check.
