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..........

haha no yoghurt with a garlic capsule in the middle

Today i've spent the last hour gutting the rabbits and cutting some up for part meals and chucked the rest in the freezer whole

So today was a rabbit quarter and tripe





Notice harvey still likes to 'kill' his food!

Today was tripe and rabbit head

Yesterday was liver and lambs legs



Today was tripe and pork spine for harv and beef ribs for Chance

Well yesterday was half a pigs head each

I see you!







And today was whats left of said pigs head and a bit of tripe!

Great pics
Blue loves tripe. Family aren't too keen on the smell, but it's only there for 30 seconds

After a very heavy night of beer yesterday and so far today eating nothing , I was going to try and have my tea, oh how I wished I hadn't looked at this post again, looks like I'm going to starve myself

but it's yummy stuff dave!

wimp

today was a small meal of tripe and rabbit leg

Ella, I`m so jealous of how un-squeamish you are Sorry sorry couldn`t think of a better word

haha nah i've a strong stomach me

Todays tea was tripe, rabbit, egg and sups

Today was half a rabbit each and eggs

We have a 14 week old pup, ever since we got her from the rescue (where she had her vaccinations) she has had a cough and delicate tummy, despite two visits to the vets which cost us over £100 she is getting better but we are feeding her on boiled chicken, rice, veg and a banana now and again. Loves it all, but we tried to reintroduce dry food and her tummy goes runny again....

Now I have found a local dog trainer who supplies raw food so he is going to give me 2kg to try on her.

It has to be the way, after all she wouldnt be eating dry food or boiled chicken and rice in the wild.

When you feed raw food, what else do you need to provide other than fluids

Thanks

With feeding raw aslong as you feed a balanced diet you don't need to add anything else. Have a look at these links for raw feeding.

Today was tripe and lambs legs






Also a video i got asked to do from FB to prove that Harv has no food aggression and that i can take anything off him whenever, so thought i'd let you lot have a nosey

Always look forward to updates in this thread early days but Baileys doing good on the chicken mince! He's not sure about the chicken wings yet but hopefully get him eating proper bits of meat

haha thanks!

No doubt he'll soon get the hang of it!

I thought the true test to see if they had food aggression was to take raw tripe off them and a cracked raw egg. Not by taking the bowl away but by grabbing the food with your bare hands and holding it for 20 seconds >

tripe isn't their favourite food

Harv i can take any food off anyway

I know but I just want to see you holding smelly tripe with your bare eggy hands

Oh and you have to rub a bit in your face before you give them it back. It's like the ultimate test. Do the egg first then the tripe

Ah i see, hidden agenda there blue

Today was sheeps head that i delicately cut in half

Apparently yesterdays video of harv wasn't good enough



[

where do you get your lambs heads and rabbits from if you dont mind me asking?

Lambs heads from Durham animal feeds

Rabbits from a hunter who clears fields for farmers

thanks i was looking at the durham animal feeds website and they dont list anything like that
And how do you know that the rabbits dont have diseases or anything before you feed them to your dogs?

Email DAF to get their full list of foods the website is *

With rabbit i freeze or get them frozen for a while and it kills any bugs.

The only thing rabbits in the Uk suffer with particually is myxomatosis HOWEVER it cannot be given to you or your dog, so i feed myxy rabbits as they are the ones the boys can catch.

hi Ella - i was thinking of sheeps head or pigs head from DAF , wasn't aware you had to cut them up - lol (novice me uh) - which of the two do you think is better nutritionally ? and can they be cut with just a carving knife .. please .. thanks !

i will email them thanks.
I have been buying the minced food from somewhere else but its been costing me around £35 a month

Hey you don't have to cut them up but i have 2 dogs so it saves money to cut them in half and then save another head for a later date!

I use a cleaver and hit it with a rubber mallet and a few hits it's in half

Between the heads there is very little difference apart from pigs head weigh alot more, and have more meat/fat on them.

I would just ask for their updated price list and when they deliver to you I don't feed minced food alot at all, i only use it to hide supplements in!

Thank You !

welcome!

Ah ella, how i missed these lovely posts lol

of course you know it's the highlight of all your lots day!

We live very sheltered lives!

But of course

Today was whole rabbit (well minus the head as i use them as treats) still frozen in the hope it would last a while nope harv done in 5 minutes, chance in 10 *le sigh*

bit big for the bowls


waiting nicely

well i got fed up of Radley's epic squits so she's had raw for the rest of the weekend, et voila no more bum gravey soo....



the boys sat waiting while she had a first wing



today was rabbit and beef for the boys, and chicken wings for rads



the boys waiting ages for her to finish

Great pics! Radley is gorgeous lovely colour and markings!!

thanks

Chicken mince and chicken wing for Bailey!
Feel like a bad dad compared to Harv and Chance's meals

haha awww

hows he liking raw?

It's OK Bailey looks very healthy to me, as do Harv & Chance, you must be doing something right

ella wrote:haha awww

He's getting better, wolfs the mince down lol but he's still not too sure about the wings unless I'm holding them, going to start just letting him figure it out for himself though haha! Placing a new order with DAF for more proper bone bits, Lamb bones, lamb legs, tripe etc!
