dog feed

[Len Brennan]

A lot of what goes into commercial dog food is just crap to bulk it out, stuff with virtually no nutritional value like sugar beet pulp. Many dog food companies are owned by large food conglomerates who basically use dog food as an alternative to landfill! There's usually a tiny amount of 'meat and animal derivatives' (look up 'chicken digest' if you haven't eaten recently). It's heated up to sterilise it and squirted out of a tube into handy 'kibbles' then sprayed with a large dose of 'EC permitted flavourings' to make sure fido doesn't turn his nose up at it.

I haven't got the time or inclination to do the whole BARF thing so I feed my whippet on Naturediet as the next best thing. It's expensive but she doesn't eat a lot

I man showed me when was only kid about tinned dog meat, he put it in a pot and boiled it. There was about 25grams of meat in the bottom of the pot and the rest was just fat horrible stuff.

Minced onion as PART of the diet incidently!

Remember eating solely rabbit will eventually kill you aswell!

Onions and potatoes are not good for a dog. Chocolate is poison as are raisins. Some dogs can only eat 1-2 raisins and die! Do a search on tinternet, you will find loads!

 

I use Dr Johns with venison scraps and bones, heads and feet. Excellent for roughage and teeth!

Pedigree chum, the occasional bunny, what he likes the most is the fresh warm kidney and liver as soon as I've paunched it.

i was told that dr johns put extra salt in there feed to make it more palletable but that could be hear say.

the thing ive always watched wen i fed my dogs on biscuits is the protien percentage for working dogs its a must imo.

mostly raw chicken carcasses for my mutts, the big dog would make the ideal stray dog though as he can knock over the wheelie bins and always find a yummy snack, the little one is finishing my pie right now ..big dog is not going to be happy when he wakes up haha

Mine get green tripe, ox heart, cheek meat and a bit of red mills(tracker in summer,racer thru working season) any veg peeling are boiled up and added and some sa37. Costs about £1 a day to feed 5 terriers.

this thread is very very interesting, i feed my spaniel a standard working dog dry mix 90% of the time but have been thinking for a while now i should be supplying him with fresher stuff.

 

he gets the occasional rabbit and loves it, going to make more of an effort to get him scraps from butchers and mince meat more. he's my best mate and wanna treat him good
