I just bought some tesco value lamb chops to try with my stafford pup. He loved it! Once he figured out he couldn't swallow it whole anyway! I plan on giving him the odd bit of fresh meat along with his normal food until i can find a freezer and a meat supplier. I was just wondering how much you would feed though.

i want to try it for Jasper.. our Springer.

we give him working dog food at the moment.. and he seems to be really reluctant to eat it sometimes.. we've tried a few different brands.

he just can't have chicken.. we were told that by the people we got him from,.. and he's had it accidentally later on, and we now know why

would be worth a go, if someone closer to us has those meat deliveries.. and we can get a chest freezer..

we have one of those 'normal' ones.. an under counter one.. which is generally full of frozen rats/rabbits etc so a big chest freezer would do them both

I have some questions:

Ok, it doesn't promote aggresiveness right? I'm struggling with this.
My dog frequently sits with caveys and rabbits without even thinking about eating them. Surely this would change?

The other one is the bones. I've always given what i call proper bones as a treat. Ie cow bones etc But was told that chicken bones (and similar size) were a big no no because they'd choke on them (bit like the queen and fish bones).
Is that wrong?

It's funny how misconceptions and propoganda are rife throughout different hobbies but until you get involved you never know about them.

I have to say im not surprised that he is reluctant to eat it as it gets boring eating the same thing everyday for every meal with the barf you rotate what they eat so somat different every meal

The chicken bone thing is a complete myth dogs stomach acids are strong enough to break down the chicken bones you will not see chicken bones come out the other end.................The only bones you should never feed are cooked bones as the bones splinter differently and may cause damage but dogs stomachs were built to digest bones...........

No feeding them barf dosnt make them aggressive at all...............depending on your breed of dog eg i have siberian huskies and a mallie sibe cross and springer they are working bred dogs.............they will never get along 100% trusted with small animals

And not being funny but i wouldnt trust any breed of dog 100% especially alone with any small animals or live stock
