Finally ...

Post by Maistaff on Fri 30 Oct 2009, 18:30

Whooo Hooo is all i can say

Decided to give the Raw Diet another go and went out bought some Fresh Chicken Legs and some bones and my god Charlie actually ate the raw chicken leg . You could have picked me up when i seen her really enjoying it.

Now i can begin to feed a raw diet again knowing she will eat it. Going for one day kibble one day raw until i find my feet

Regarding the chicken thighs, were they crushed or minced before giving them to Harley?

In my butchers today i bought 10 chicken legs 2kg in weight of £5. Not sure if that is good or bad but i will go back for more tomorrow now i know the dogs eat them

I'd shop around at a few butchers, i did today and bought some bones which the guys are loving and the chicken as mentioned above. I also bought some lambs liver in my local little Tesco, £1 a pack - havn't opened it yet (not looking forward to it so putting it off till tomorrow )
