C.green 3,203 Posted June 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 (edited) Stiff is the bone meal mainly for calcium ? If so could see that bieng handy for youngsters as been told body doesn't get much from bones ? Anyone add things like banana tomatoes powdered seaweed that sort of thing ?

THE STIFFMEISTER 14,558 Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 lol greeny, half a tin of chopped tomatoes to stop the cramps , My mam used to make them spaghetti bolognese when I was out lamping, I'd gave a bowl and the dog would get the bowl with a few hearts and lungs on top from the burco boiler Was it b12 as well socks? The exact vitamin escapes me Ejectrolytes in the water bottle, half a mars bar, , the joys of feeding at half three in the rain in the back garden lol 1 Quote Link to post
THE STIFFMEISTER 14,558 Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 I used to feed my pups bonemeal and always mixed it in with their food as they grew as I think the dogs just liked it... Good source of calcium, also liked to vary in with pilchards, mackerel, any oily fish really to try and get some vitamin into them as they grew Quote Link to post
Penda 3,218 Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 I've used bonemeal in the past and stuff like that but you'll never beat the natural stuff I think all the other craps just hyped up shit i used sa37 aswell but it's sf50 now like socks said manuka honeys good aswell it's a natural electrolyte and a natural antibiotic Quote Link to post

One thing I deffo add a lot more of is fat in my dogs diets now I do like a nice covering on them. Be careful giving bitches that b12 can bring them in season. I hear yer phil an old boy I know laughs at me when the beefo chicken and lamb come out to defrost for the hounds he reckons in his day dogs scavenged bins or if they were really lucky got the odd sheeps head anything they caught was used or sold. Even the odd bone of the butcher was used for broth lol Edited June 27, 2017 by C.green Quote Link to post

Makes ya wonder.... yeah I agree with you there mate a lot of the stuff on the market is there any need for does it make any real difference in my eyes no I'm only saying that cause I've fed some supplements in the past and never saw a difference in the dogs so I stopped ?
