Daisy on RAW - Week 7

First topic message reminder :

So a new week a new thread  

Been back to the RAW shop today, the lady was so excited that our first weeks gone well, it was lovely  

Anyways, this is the week 2 menu



We continue with the minced chicken carcass and introduce lamb tripe, one day of each for a few days and as long as she's OK on it I can then mix it up a bit or serve both together.  One of the sausage packs does 3 meals so it will actually be a day and half of each.

She's had the tripe for tea, ate it fine and not been sick, thank god, would not have fancied clearing that up!

It stinks though, smells like sewage  As long as she likes it though!

So far so good....still

I think I;m going to get some, do you buy it online?

My shop had sprats, sardines and swordfish, you could buy sardines raw from the fish counter, I've seen them in tesco's  

Oooh I'll be taking a trip to tesco's then. yeah I buy online :- http://www.zooplus.co.uk/shop/dogs/dog_health/skin_coat_supplements/other/306583

Cool, thanks

To be honest I don't have a huge freezer so far have just dedicated the biggest drawer to it, just means I won't be able to take advantage of big raw food hauls but we'll manage! I'm also squeamish and vegetarian  

Good to hear all is going well for you,

Could you explain how you are working around this problem,anything i have seen online means i need to order big and its not something i can do right now.

I have been wanting to feed my boy raw for so long and tried alittle tho done in the wrong way however deep down i have this strong desire to get him on raw.

Ok it seems you able to go into a shop and get all your stuff which is great,what sort of shop can you do that from and do you think anything would be available in scotland like your situation

The shop Broxi is a raw food shop for dogs, we have 2 in sheffield but they are independent shops so these particular ones will not be in Scotland.

If you do some research online maybe there are similar shops near by? If not do you have the space for a small chest freezer so you can do the large online orders?

I started with the minces, introducing one meat at a time but now I feed a selection of minces, offal and bones   

when my mum moves she's giving me her chest freezer

Yayyy   I'd get one but just don't have the space   Daisy's one shelf has now increased to one and a half as I get too carried away at the shop!   

Darcy's two shelves has now increased to 3 and some off the chest freezer can't wait to get my own freezer space back

 The things we do!   

Well I know what the OH and I will be buying each other for a late Christmas present now! A chest freezer It's great reading through your food diary, sounds like Daisy is doing really well!

She is doing really well   

How many days a week do you feed liver, Saz

Twice a week. I buy a pack that has two turkey livers in and she had half of one liver each week. Although today I bough buffalo liver for a change! I started giving liver about a month in.

Cool

How does Daisy like the buffalo liver or has she not tried it yet

No not yet she likes the turkey liver though, some dogs can be funny with it but Daisy is OK   

I havn't seen turkey liver i dont think online,you get it from a local shop iirc? Lets us know how she is with it, buffalo liver sounds interesting

Yeah I'm lucky there are two shops that sell raw dog food near me   Although I've only used one of them so far, I'd fee like a traitor going to the other one!   Took Daisy in with me today for the first time   

i go to both shops the other is a supplier of DAF and has loads of different treats

I must go one day! Its on holme lane isn't it?
