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..........

hows he liking raw?

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!

Thanks Kathy Cant wait to give him the same variety as Harv and Chance get !

Awww bless him it definitely gets more interesting once they are used to eating all sorts of different foods!

so i noticed in one of your older post that u were feeding yoghurt,
I've given her yoghurt before when she had an upset tummy (coz all the vet does it give u pro-biotic)
Do u need to feed yoghurt on regular basis on raw diet?

No i don't feed it regular, once every few months or so, it;s mearly an extra treat for them

yesterday was a small meal, offal, last of scraps and stuffed hooves i made



today was whole rabbit each

I absolutely thought I would feel a bit squeamish at these pics, but it looks so utterly natural that I don't in the least. Still toying with the idea of a raw food diet for Dex, your boys look so good on it and they obviously love dinnertime!

haha thanks the boys adore their food

They can cuddle the rabbits then eat them..it's a double use dinner!

the boys are to impatient to do any cuddling first

I bet. Mind you why cuddle when you can bite through a head I say.

That's why oh has taken to wearing a suit of armour round the house

haha always head first

!!

This was a couple of days ago, lamb spine, mince and meaty scraps.

Nice

Today was half a rabbit and tripe

can a ask where u got ur lamb spine from? A was enquiring at my local butchers about these kind of delicacies today and he said that he couldnt get spines, they will not send them out, somat to do with new laws...

I get lamb spines from morrissons or durham animal feeds

ella wrote:I get lamb spines from morrissons or durham animal feeds

cheers! Still got a good few more weeks til shes on to that kinda stuff, but good to know where I can get them locally when the time comes! Was surprised at how little stuff te butcher actually butchered themselves! All seeing a dont go in a butchers very often lol

no very few butchers do much butchering these days which is a shame!

what has the world came to when butchers arent even butchers?!
He did suggest a local abattoir and gave me a number for a nearby chicken place so need to give them a bash, specially since DAF delivered to my area today so now i need to wait another month

Just mixed bone, lamb mince, DE, herbs/garlic and an egg!

rate today was half a sheeps head each







and 26 minutes later

rabbit and pork scraps today

yes Morrison is the best supermarket for nicety's for dogs as there the only ones that actually employ a qualified butcher

Today was something different the whole cows legs i got from DAF



Over 2 feet long and really meaty! they were allowed to eat everything bar the bone so was taken off once they stripped everything off










Harvey decided to go eat on the bed next to the radiator as they had come on

Jesus they are massive I've got some lambs legs coming next week !

Lambs legs aren't a bad size for what they are don't forget they come with fur on not all dogs will eat fur!

I've got carcasses and ribs coming aswell, the legs were just really to make up the minimum delivery lol if he doesn't like them no big deal its only a quid lol!

haha true i'm sure he'll like them.

My two do surprisingly

I would be more surprised if they didn't like them

For anyone interested this is what happens to cows legs once they've gone to the boys

This is also the bone in the leg which they are not allowed to eat, the bones in the foot are fine though

Here's Taz with her 1st Lamb leg from DAF .. she was extremely enthusiastic, and chomped away like it was an everyday meal. She ate it all, although she had slightly green hairy poo .. lol

yum

Quick question, about feeding whole rabbit.

... Does it need to be skinned ? And do the dogs literally eat it all? Inc eyes, brain etc ? Just thinking bout brain bits on my floor and exploding eyeballs dripping out their mouth ?! Sorry but need to ask x

My boys eat them whole skin, head, eyes everything just like nature intended

pork heart duck wings and egg today



Also got a huge 8kg turkey for £5 and hopefully a couple more on the way, took the crown off for us and the rest for the boys!


complete with turkey necks and organs

Bargain Ella, and good food for the whole family, cant be bad! Wish I could find suppliers likes yours Love to see Taz eat raw, but I'm sure she would love to tuck into some rabbits and bigger chunks of meat|!

It's about sourcing food from different places, like I order in bulk from DAF, I visit a hunter for my whole rabbit, I've made friends with my butcher for scraps and heads, and then I regularly visit the Chinese supermarket for bits

Diesel managed to choke on a chicken Wing today, she's had them before when she was 10wks....

Tank, first time with chicken wings. He crunched them up first, but no Diesel tried to swallow them whole ! Silly cow sicker them up twice before she decided it's best to crunch them up !

daft creatures ain't they!

She eats like she's never been fed , literally inhales everything, and there was me worried how Tank would be with wings. I shoulda known older dosent necessarily mean wiser. !

haha have you tried giving her, her food still frozen?

Can u do that ?!

I've been getting it out in the morning or night before... I reckon she would try swallow it frozen she's a bit dippy lol

yep fully frozen, half defrosted however you like.

Feeding frozen food is recommend for gulpers as it's ALOT harder to swallow frozen food

Not as exciting as as yours yet..

Steak n kidney, and chicken necks

Bailey gets his chicken wings frozen, sometimes gets his mince frozen (if ive forgot to get it out ) and will be giving him his carcasses frozen from now on

Today was bones, beef heart and kidneys


some recent meals over the last few weeks
scraps, sardine, duck wings and pork skin


Pork spine, lamb mince DE and some gone off sandwich meat

Today was rabbit for tea



yesterday was turkey wing and heart, with a frozen kong when we were out

Oh wow! The lil bunnies in the bowls I'm torn between a 'omg' and a 'lol' !

Good stuff, do u feed just 1 meal a day ?

what are the benefits of a raw diet?
