Feeding: carnivores

My carnivores get whole poultry, pigeons, pheasants and waterfowl all with feathers and on the bone also whole rabbits in the fur on the bone. Bovine liver in small amounts, sheep and pigs heart lungs wind pipe and spleen of which is all minced together then fed to the ferrets, they also get diced poultry turkey and pork also beef / pork and turkey mince, the mince can also contain some fish without the bones.

The Many Myths of Raw Feeding ... Raw Feeding

i think i will skip breakfast today after reading that lol

Neither are vets but they still do it!

Feeding dogs on lamb etc must cost a fortune!! how much roughly would it cost a week???

Not really and it's worth it to see the benefits, It cost us about £15.00 a week to feed Milo, havent really kept track since we've had the pups.

I've been to the vets this afternoon with the girlies to get thier boosters done weighed etc, was chatting to her about maybe changing over to raw she did the whole looking at me funny and sucking in air thing builders do when they give you a quote lol. She said she would prefer it if I was going to do it to find out the calorific quantities in the meat ect so not to over feed, and recommended keeping clear of bones for reasons such as obstructions, constipation, etc. this has subsequentlyput my O/H off the idea lol , i will perservere and do it slowly modifying it to suit the girls needs .

My vet went through a simular routine as well, recommending "a quality diet like hills" which is when I realised he didn't have a clue and so disregarded everything he said on the subject! He said feeding meat was fine so long as it was cooked and the same as yours said about bones.

I found this a good site when I researched all the points my vet made: The Many Myths of Raw Feeding

I can't wait to take Milo in again so he can see how much healthier his coat is, how his energy levels are more constant, his muscle is more defined and how much better he smells! Then see if he still wants to tell me raw is no good!

Alan you really need to find a different meat supplier if you are spending £15 a week on Milo alone - it cost me @ £18.00 a week to feed two adult Rottweilers
