What's in the bowl today! (graphic photos - raw)

First topic message reminder :

Right i've done this thread on another site, but the idea is to show photos, or tell others what the pooches had to eat today.

This is mainly for raw feeders, but anyone is welcome to add. It also helps new raw feeders get ideas for meals or to know what things look like

Some of these photos are new, some are from when Harv was a few months old








To be continued..........

We can get normal chicken things like wings, legs and that but 'normal' supermarkets won't sell feet, or necks or carcasses and that, they need to be from butchers or raw food suppliers

We can get feet, necks, carcasses at any of our supermarkets.. But not even many of our butchers sell anything with fur/hair still on it Or whole heads.. i have to take a fair drive to even pick her up whole rabbits

duck wings, spleen, sprats, pigs skin


chicken wings, tripe & game mince, sprats


today a fully frozen meal
pork tongue chunk, chicken foot, beef bone


and the boys now

today was venison neck, pork tongue chunk, sprats and a lamb tongue


beef shin, beef spleen, chicken hearts and chicken wings


lamb leg, beef heart and eco beef

where do u source all ur stuff ella? i've asked my local butchers for random cuts of meat and there were not helpful in the slightest!

Diesel got her first pig head from DAF a few weeks ago, spent ages trying to hack through it, got covered in pig fat.....and she couldnt have been less interested in it if she tried! she had a few licks then just kept going back to her bowl and crying looking for food, needless to say it just went in the bin

On the pigs head, get a good heavy clever and rubber mallet, rest the clever and hit it with the mallet, i split pigs and lambs heads really easy that way.

I order my bulk order from DAF, i also visit a few shops around here, butchers, catering butchers, chinese supermarkets etc

today was veal ribs, and venison scraps with an egg



nom nom thanks mum!

Great pics and a great selection as always.
Don't think Blue would eat the sheeps head or rabbit with fur. He won't eat raw fish either. He will however eat sardines from a tin in tomoato sauce. Wouldn't mind just geting 1 rabbit to see if he would eat it or not. Where do you get your rabbits from? Do you freeze them first for a few days or are they good to go straight away? Any fresh rabbit good as long as it hasn't been killed by a lead bullet or are there other things to watch out for?

my rabbits i get from a local hunter so they are wild rabbits, but he shots them with a rifle and steel bullet but its a through and through head shot. He then freezes them before i get them and then they go in mine, so i freeze then for about 3 weeks ish but i have fed fresh without problems.

There is 2 pet shops round here that sell fur on and skinned rabbits but shops are more expensive but they come gutted and skinned for you.

If it was killed by lead shot i go through and take any pellets out, they tend to be really easy to find as they are just under the skin/fur

Cheers I'll try and source some local that are skinned first. If he loves it I'll try him with on in all it's furry glory.
I thought once it was shot with lead it was no good even if you remove the pellet since the lead will be in the blood stream. Maybe that only matters in birds of prey

Oh with birds of prey you don't want to feed anything with lead, but with dogs they are like us and need to ingest ALOT of lead over a good period of times to become ill

Cool, nice to know. Might of ended up turning down an offer for rabbits thinking it was no good. Once again cheers Ella for your fountain of knoweldge

I wonder if the ribs are from the same calf? Hmm...

thanks like i said i do try and get any pellet i found out then the only lead would be tiny tiny trace amounts in the blood stream

probably they are butchered at one particular farm...

Oh well thats nice I don't like them being too seperated. hahahaa

haha

What a great selection Ella, really enjoying looking through your mrla pictures:) . Our holly won't eat raw fish either but loves sardines in oil from the tin.
I am feeding tripe once a day and chicken drumsticks and wings . I sm
introducing kidneys , liver slowly . I tried heart twice last week and it went down a treat with no upset tummies . Infact the only time she has had loose poo is when I gave her a lamb chop.

today we had something new

a deer foot each! beef shin, pheasant mince and duck/chicken egg


yesterday
chicken wings, beef spleen, and lamb tongue

Blue is becoming obsessed with trying to hack into Ella's account so he can find her address. He spends half his day trying to hack and the other half practicing his sad face in front of the mirror so he can get his foot in the door when he gets there.

Hi Ella, Love seeing the variety you feed your dogs and i take great inspiration from it!!
I've never see anything like that in my tescos, do you ask for it at the butchers counter or is it already portioned up and in the fridges?
Thanks

I think Ella's tesco has a halal section. I could be mistaken though

Aah that would explain it. Ours doesnt
Wonder if tescos site tells you what stores have a halal section *goes to have a look*
Thanks Stuart!

Mine doesn't either

As stuw said i have a quite large halal section in my tesco so everything i get is already out on the shelves however it's pot luck if they have anything in, as when the shelves are stocked everyone goes mad for it!
