Guest Haggler Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 Some quotes off the web... "Bones present a particular problem, particularly chicken bones. They can still stick in the throat whether they're cooked or not." The pros and cons. http://www.burns-pet-nutrition.co.uk/BARF_Raw_Food_Diet.htm The biggest problem I found with it was my buddies that were feeding it always wanted to put their bloody raw chicken in the ice chest with the beer when we took hunting trips. "there are other potential problems as well, including salmonella and E. coli. He notes the findings of a recent study that found that 10 to 50 per cent of chicken has salmonella. Not good for the pet or the people preparing the food." Got 17 year old dogs that have never seen anything but kibble. Different strokes for different folks but BARF / RAW seems problematic and uneccessary to me. Haggler Quote Link to post
Stabs 3 Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 I usually get my gear for free from a pal of mine who is a butcher, but with me leaving soon, I can't go and get a massive load. Because of this I've been going to the local butcher in the shopping centre and buying lamb breasts - £3 for 3. These cut into 3 pieces which will feed my lurcher and a terrier for one day.

Haggler ive fed mine on nothing else but bone and meat for five years and have no problem atal the dogs look great on it mutch better than they used to on meal and they work harder and longer on barf with a bit of grass that they eat and the berrys they pick them selves i think they got the best diet any dog can have Quote Link to post
Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 Bloody hell, Stabber! I can feed my JR, Bull 'n Terrier, 'Bull X' and my huge Dog on a single lambs breast a day! One breast between those four Dogs. And I'm now trying the get the weight down on all but the JR! I wonder how one of your 'prepared for the consumer' breasts would compare to one of mine though? My Butcher just throws a whole carcass at the band saw and I catch what falls away! Damn near long as my arm too! What ever; The F*ckin Gear, isn't it?! Quote Link to post

Ditchy...I'm guessing by the amount of dogs you are feeding there that you have bigger breasts than I do Quote Link to post
