feeding raw meat

hi i hav been reading a few articles on feeding raw meat and bones 2 my dog. nvr thot it wer the right thing 2 do but from wat i read it seems 2 do them wonders. what sorts of foods can u feed dem and at wat age can u start them at

From a pup, I don't feed raw loads here do though, someone will be on with some more info!

I didn't think raw meat was good for dogs either until i watched a training video and the trainer advised raw meats. She said that one of her dogs would scratch and nip at her own fur to the point of bald patches and infection and after many attempts at trying different types of foods she was advised by the vet to give raw meat, since then the dog has been fine and even one of her dogs that had cancer out lived her life expectancy by many years.

I'm not sure what Sapphire is being fed on at the moment, the breeder told me meat so it could mean anything, but if she is being fed tinned dog foods i will introduce raw food such as chicken wings to try and get her the best diet. I'm just not too sure of when to start doing it.

Billy has raw, you can feed them from any age, look at the main website there is some info there and lots of threads on the forum. Let us know if you have an questions and I will try to answer them, if not then caryll our expert will be along soon

cheers 4 da responses! wud fresh chicken legs b ok? i can get hold of beef bones from local slaughtr house. i here alot of reveiews abt tripe! does raw food make them any way aggressive 4 i dont want this in ny way r is this jst a myth

chicken legs and wings are fine, dont feed too much tripe, about once a week as it can make dogs fat. make sure everything is frozen first before you give them anything, this kills the germs, then defrost if you like.

raw food does not make them aggresive, but some dogs can be intollerant of some types of meat, so maybe introduce one type at a time

top of da pops! thanks 4 that i will try my wee man on barf food start of nxt week n we,ll c how he does we want da best 4 him every1 and every thing needs a good start in life

jst 1 more thing my wee man is grate with every 1 else in our house apart from my 10 yr old he jst never leaves her alone and biting her not aggressivelly thow jst being a wee torture only towards her

He is still a puppy and puppies bite, you must say no really loud and ignore him and it will stop

been dwn that road but insists biting on my wee girl she is upset cause she thinks it is her i try telling her its ok and he will grow out of it. do u think he picks up on her age

Partly, but it's also because she's not as 'strong' as you - mentally, not physically. You should supervise all interraction between them for a while & step in quickly if he starts to play bite. If necessary remove him gently from the scene & then ignore him till he's calm. It's a natural way for a pup to play, they just need to be taught that it isn't acceptable with humans.
