It's the best for your dog

 

that's the only thing mine gets. They are fed a RAW diet. Works ownders for bine and muscle development as well as condition of coat.

 

The best they can get, I never feed them anything else. Yes, some vegetables and supplements.

 

THANKS Everyone!

Right now Both of my Pits get (Timber Wolf Organics) has anyone heard of it?

It's supposed to be Really good & ALL Natural but if gives them HORRIBLE Gas! lol

 

I think Timberwolf is the best kibble around. However, raw is better if done right. I have an old dog with heart disease and he is doing better since we started feeding one meal a day of raw. And, he LOVES it, and lot more than even timberwolf.

 

So what exactly do you feed your dog?

Boneless chicken breast?
Pork Chops?
Beef?
Fish?

How many times do U feed your dog, twice a day?

How much per portion?


Thanks,
Liza

 

What kind of meats do U feed your dog?

 

I give my dogs whole chickens(there already dead,,I don't make them chase them around) sometimes baked chickens,,and raw hamburger

 

THanks!
WOW, whole chickens.........what about the bones? Don't chicken bones splinter?

 

yeah,,but they crunch em up,,I wouldn't give steak bones or porkchop bones,,I will buy the chicken parts in a bag and throw them to them,,,or whole chickens from the KFC they get all excited

 

LOL, ok thanks!

 

IMO I wouldnt give pork products to MY dogs. I wont feed raw hamburger either. I know more than a few people's dogs that got sick off raw hamburger.

I buy a few pounds of thighs boil them up, then cook my rice,oatmeal and greens in the chicken water. Let the chicken cool just a little and it will fall right off the bone.

I dont feed raw chicken or meat. Unless the dog has grown up on a diet like that, it might not adjust to it very well. Like I said before, I know a few people who had sick dogs (various breeds including apbt's) because they fed raw(organic/Amish) beef or hamburger.

The chicken has to be raw to avoid the splintering damage!!!!!!!!

 

I give mine chicken breast,necks and legs. Beef-Steaks(any variety) no bones and some of the fat. Lamb-it's all ground up. Pork-Bacon,hocks and ham. They also get green tripe. If you can stand the smell it's awesome food. They do get some fish but just little tiny pieces off the bone and cooked. Elk-bones and hamburger. Venison-bones and hamburger. I grind a lot of mine up to make it easier to store and feed. Along with the meat they get Carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus, green beans, peas and a beet every once in a while. They get fed 1x a day and a kibble feeding every other day. I weigh it out on a scale. I weigh their empty bowls, write it down and then I fill their bowls up and weigh it. I feed about a 1 1/2lbs. to my girl and my boy(wolf-hybrid on a diet) gets a 1lb. down from 2 lbs. He's getting older and starting to pack on the weight. Mine also get some beef heart, liver(beef and chicken). tripe. They get 2 supplements. Probios and Missing Link Gold. As well as some bonemeal every other day.

Wanted to add- almost all of my food is ground up before I feed it. Easier to contain and store. I only buy from one butcher who makes sure the stuff is good. I won't buy from anyone else. The green tripe I have shipped in.

 

Thanks SO Much, that helps A LOT!

 

Beef, Lamb, and Chicken. We feed some Chicken parts whole and Stockey has no problems with them, he even seems to really enjoy crunching them up. We add veggi and kelp glop (mixed in a blender) Add an egg. We feed fish too, but not raw, no pork raw either.

 

I buy some pre made Raw food, just for convience. It has ground up chicken with the bone, some veggies, offal, eggs with shell, all ground together, and frozen. I usually feed one of those patties in the morning. At night I will feed pretty much anything. Whole Mackeral, and Sardines. Chicken, beef, I haven't tried lamb yet. Basically any thing on sale is what my dogs get
