Little Butch 16 Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Got a 16 month old Staffy that I picked up this week and looking to get some decent grub into him.. I've got a mate who works at a butchers and he said if I turn up tomorrow I can take some bits for free. What kind of thing is safe to feed him? Necks, ears, trotters? What bones?

Little Butch 16 Posted February 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 So things like scraps apart from pork, necks, trotters, ears, and bones.. What about big ones like leg bones? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gunner123 103 Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Load bearing bones usually alot tougher and said not to be as good for a dog, if there is a load of meat still left on i would let them/him work away. Did you take the staff/boxer cross LB ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Little Butch 16 Posted February 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Okay what about things like ribs? Yeah got him, he's 3/4 Staffy 1/4 Boxer but looks like a staff.. I'll weigh him and measure him at the weekend and stick a few photos up Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Westy76 546 Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Get your man to run all the scraps(but not lamb bones)through the mincer for you,much easier to bag up and freeze and the pup will love it. Good luck with the new one,look forward to setting the pics. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Little Butch 16 Posted February 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 He's on dry food at the moment, gunna give him the scraps as treats and just see how it goes Hes in decent shape already and he didn't used to get walked that far so now he's getting walked twice a day he should come up lovely!

Lamb neck and ribs are the safest bones .......and chicken carcases and wings. Don't try and feed heavy duty beef sinew, huge tendons or masses of fat either: a lot of butcher's waste is made up of this and some dogs just throw it back up again, or it goes straight through them. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
