For the raw feeders

I feed my dogs mostly kibble and throw in some raw chickin every now and then i dont know a whole bunch about raw diets the kibble i feed is TOTW but at what age do you start feeding raw

 

I weaned my pups of on raw

 

i figured you could give them raw that young but didnt know for sure

 

In the past i did al the traditional stuf.
But with the last litter i was already on the BARF menu with my dogs.
At 3,5, 4 weeks old i started
The first week i gave them the pre made menu, sliced meat with crushed bones and organs.
And from week 5 i gave them just raw chicken necks, hearts, fish you name it they eat it and never had a problem with them.

 

i seen on a thread no pork bones can u not feed pork at all cooked or raw bones or meat

 

what about raw bacon? will tat hurt them

 

bacon is all fat i wouldnt feed it.

 

ran low on food the othr night gave em some bacon,dry food,eggs,sum turkey

 

i like to use cooked bacon for a treat every now and then but its only a few pieces

 

Fed pork for a good 2 months & the dog never looked better. Think all the fat does them good if they are well exercised.

 

yeah I would say they can very well start during puppy hood, I would have done this but I didn't switch over to raw until she was a year and a half only because I was not sure on how to go about it. Until I learned from here and a couple of other sites and have been glad to have made the switch.

 

What about pig feet?

 

good question?

 

I don't feed pork but I hear so many ups and downs I wouldn't know what to tell you in regards to pork sorry.

 

Plenty of ppl here feed pork............but you want to deep freeze it for say about 12 to 14 days at -18 degrees + .lt's best to freeze in bulk then. lf you feed thin pieces like bacon or thin chops etc... no need to freeze more than a week

 

I just find most other meats don't have enough fat..when I feed pork my boys shines and he has over average energy. I got a bulk of humane grade grocery store meat so I don't think the freezing cycle was necessary I think thats for wild caught meat.

 

wont hurt em but bacon is very high in sodium, dont over do it.

fat is great for dogs especially when working them hard, they need the calories.

i've fed pork necks, liver and kidneys with no problem. sometimes freezing for two weeks. other times straight from the store. most of the time i freeze it for two weeks, i'll have chicken or other pork already thawed. doesn't hurt to be cautious.

 

this year i want to get a deer for my dogs do i have to freeze the deer before i feed it to them or does that apply to wild pork only

 

If you feed venison be sure to add some oil or fat to it venison is very lean, and greeting from across the bay

 

Greeting to you to ill be sure to do that what kind of oil or fat should i add to it
