Guest spartancombat Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Hi.I have long been feeding my dogs a semi-barf diet usually in the form of chicken wings. Is there anyone one here that feeds whole rabbit or chicken carcasses to their dogs? Im just a bit worried about the sharp rib bones. Cheers for any input. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I feed all my dogs on raw food, chicken carcases are fine as long as they are raw and not cooked as are all bones Lee Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MATTI 34 Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Agree with BlackLab uncooked bone's and carcass' are fine for all dog's, we had 11 AmBull pup's that were pretty much weaned onto chicken carcass' and they never took harm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Neal 1,787 Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 I agree with the above. I've raised my last three dogs, from the day I bought them as pups of around eight to nine weeks, on various odds and ends all of which has always been raw. The first time they see a chicken wing it can take them a good twenty minutes or more but now, as adults it's just, "crunch, crunch, gulp!" Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My old man reckoned that when he was a nipper,rabbit fur was fed to discourage worms in the dogs guts.I usually give mine the rabbits gutted and skinned,and just leave the kidneys in.

kreet 0 Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 heard of a skin naking a dogs insides but also know a few people who just feed the lot id personaly skin and gut them or just give a couple of stripps of fur rather than take the risk . Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Think wild dog/wolf, feed raw carcasses of chicken or rabbit but when fur/ feather missing coat w bran for horses mash for roughage. If feeding meat trimings of beef, lamb, pork add bran and a small handful wheatgerm meal to bucket load to add roughage and pep. You wil avoid sore bottoms from concrete like droppings this way. Use cop on always think wild dog! if full complement of skin, bones , intestinal contents not available think alternatives, bran,wheatgerm, eggshell, probiotics, Keep it natural, keep it wild Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest sweetlou Posted November 18, 2007 Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 i preffer to just feed them a complete mixer food, its far less messy, but i live in a suburb and have to travel to shoot with my doggs, i have to staffys and they are the most inteligent dogs i have ever used, they will sit and wait for a kill or spook and wait, they seem to be totally aware of the danger of the gun and target.
