She had ravioli for breakfast.. I was a bit pissed last night and decided i was hungry, then decided i couldn't be bothered eating it or throwing it away and washing up so i left it on the side in the kitchen.
Went down this morning and the bowl was right on the end of the unit and empty....

Get on Freecycle and try and get hold of a chest freezer. When feeding barf they are a godsend. I desperatly need to get another one now lol

Sadly I'm miles away from you (Somerset) but thankyou for the offer.

I do have a chest freezer, which was always full with rodents but since I don't have as many snakes now, it's great for the dogs food.

I have managed to source a local butcher. And our dog has been on this for a couple of months now, and just loving it.

No going back at all

Never a day in the vets in all that time, and their teeth are pearly white. My oldest dog Zac is going on for 9 and the new vet who checked his teeth last year thought he was 2!

You can download Raw Meaty Bones: Promote Health and Work Wonders: Feed Raw Meaty Bones for free at Dr Tom Lonsdale's website. Tom's a great guy who I've known for some time now, it's certainly worth taking time to read his books.

Hi
It seems that the website now charges for the ebooks.
Do you or any1 else have a copy i could get?
Thanks!!!

Ok i feed my 2 (a Lab and a Staff x Lab) a 100% hypo allergenic diet as the staff cross has skin issues,
i believe its down to the food and this new diet is working well but

Id be interested in giving them a go on the BARF and i am a fishmonger

but i only have locally caught fish so what do you suggest i could feed them??

yes it is ok to start her now if you wish.........you can basically start them from pups, but need to feed appropriate sized pieces for the individual dog........also it the dog is MAD for food and does not chew it's food, use bigger pieces so it HAS to chew/break it up before swollowing it

for a JR try either chicken carcusses/wings/small legs etc and see how you go

....obviously add other things for variety and you can see what your dog likes etc........if it is like ours it will eat ANYTHING
