That affectionate doggie look in their eyes ain’t saying what you think it is saying???
Farmers Dog = expensive food but great for our dogs.
>>dry pellets of dog kibble, according to a new study. Whether or not that more natural ancestral diet
How far back did their ancestors eat dry pellets of dog kibble?
I found I don’t function as well when I eat just dry kibble!
My American Bulldog is snarfing down some nice ground chuck as I type this. She gets beef or chicken, pork or turkey almost every day; no cooked bones, but she matters more to me than all but about 3 or 4 humans on the face of the planet.
I would love to figure out the best way to put my dog and cats on a raw diet. Short of buying their food from the grocery store I’m not sure the best way to do it.
Come on folks! As a Little girl I was sent to my Grandmas house every summer. What did her dogs eat? Whatever was left over from dinner with Bone meal mixed in. They were healthy as horses and I continue to feed my dogs this way. My dogs have lived to 15, 18 and My Current dog is 19 He will be 20 years old This April Lord Willing!!
My German Shepherd growing up ate groundhogs, cats, possums, and whatever he could find in roadkill and the neighbor’s garbage cans.
He died of old age at 14 with several bullets in him. Healthy as could be his entire life.
We got a toy poodle a little over 3 years ago. The puppy just would not eat any “dog” food. Not kibble, not the expensive canned stuff, nada. So, we were feeding him mostly stuff that we were eating. And, that he liked and he ate pretty much everything we ate. Then hubby found some raw dog food and he gobbles that up. He will also eat Costco canned chicken (or as hubby calls it “stinky” chicken). And, table scraps. I make yams for him to go with the protein. He seems healthy and energetic, so I guess he is doing okay.
I make sure my furred ones get 4 to 5 ounces minimum of fresh cooked pork sirloin or steak or lean ground beef and a couple ounces of chicken/pasta/rice boiled up fresh weekly. There is always kibble available, but they don’t eat much of it like they used to.
My sister had a poodle, and fed it cooked meat and lunchmeat, and it developed Pancreatitis.
A while back I was taking care of a dog, but I don’t own any dogs so don’t keep any dog food, so I just fed her stuff around the house that I thought a dog might like. Cans of Dinty Moore stew were a huge hit.
Most dog food is made of meat that you couldn’t use to make a hot dog
What would they do if they discovered the best food for dogs was cat meat?
Well, the ideal diet for a canine is meat, sinew, bones, guts, maybe a bit of fur for dietary fiber, all served raw, once every few days. But they’re dogs, they’ll eat whatever the hell smells good, and a lot of what doesn’t smell good too.
Our good ol’ Tucker (mixed breed rescue) turned 14 yesterday.
We’ve been feeding him chicken and rice. We buy the cheapest chicken (leg quarters are about 69 cents a pound) and cook some rice every few days.
He’s been eating this for months. He’s an old dog, but he feels good and is fairly active. Hips are sort of shot, but he gets around OK.
Typical blah, blah, blah...evolution...blah, blah, blah
the chinese might notice the difference in taste...
Bison based cuts poop size in half. It’s much easier to pick too. It’s it self destruct quickly too.
I have been a dog owner for over 50 years and always fed my dogs table scraps. Just like my parents and grandparents before me. The dogs love it and have never suffered any repercussions.
