Mince meat

Hi I was just wondering if it was ok to mix mince with wet food..Every morning I mix it with eggs or sardines..Is it safe to mix her food at night with mince or tripe? Thank you

Hi and welcome to the forum, sorry I don't much about raw feeding but normally raw wouldn't be mixed with wet food as it has a different digestion time and could cause upset tummy

Please come and make an introduction, we would love to more about you both:

What do u suggest then raw mince in the morning followed by tripe at night?

I'm not sure Chris, hopefully one of our raw feeders will be along shortly to advize you

I wouldn't mix it as can cause an upset tummy! One meal of each would be ok but I would just go full raw to be honest! Have a read of these

Well I have tried her on mince meat and she just looked at me to say "what the hell is this" and walked away? How long does it take for them to come round to new food?

Bane loved it from the get go, no turning back! Some dogs are just a bit fussier than others and may take time What mince have you tried? Fresh or frozen? Have you tried something like a chicken wing to see if she finds that a bit more interesting?

I got a big frozen pack from pets at home along with tripe..She has been on wainwrights wet puppy food..But it's costing a lot to keep her belly full on it ha! I thought that going raw would be ideal for her and healthy..I tried her on pigs feet and she loved that! But will deffo try the chicken wing.

Had a break though

Great news, did she eat the chicken wing?

I had to mix her mince with salmon and she woofed it down..and for the tripe she loved that even liked the bowl clean..Not manged to get a chicken wing yet..But deffo going for them tomorrow

Glad to hear she is eating it all well

Glad she's eating well just don't go too crazy on the assortment to start with as it can give her diarrhea i think you also have to be careful with salmon for dogs from certain oceans...maybe worth just checking online.

It's pink salmon out of the tin..But now she keeps burying her pigs feet in the garden WHY ha any know why?

I think that's ok because it's cooked, I used to give Daisy that before we went raw! Bit random with the trotters tho!

Tinned stuff is ok I think
Haha she must be saving them for later

Growing up we had a jack Russell called Suzie, she once buried a Yorkshire pudding in the garden!!   

Hahaha surely that would have just dicintegrated! I don't even wana know what the things look like when they think they are ready to dig up and eat

 yep it would have, she was a funny little thing god love her x

I started adding bits to his mince now like apples and green leaves and a little bit of cheese..Bit what I found was if I put it in the microwave for 30 secs she goes mad and inhales it all
