washerboy Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Anybody can dump a bowl of complete down but feeding raw and veg is more enjoyable to do, I sit with a brew watching them eat.yes sometimes they pick bits out but not often they dump and leave anything. You will find dogs eat less and **** twice as little Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figgy Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Well after watching that last night my wife has decided the dogs are getting best steak dinners and veg. I can eat any carp she puts in front of me. Figgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rimfire4969 Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Mine are on harringtons mixing with raw minced whole chicken and or tripe supplemented with some raw bones and the odd egg from my chickens. They love it and look really good on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_ Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 (edited) I don't know about the rest of you but the program was full of vegans, general odd balls and dogs with allergies? Also my spaniels aren't wolves, I'm pretty sure we don't eat everything humans ate hundreds of years ago?

strangford wildfowler Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Mine will eat everything you give him but I find that Wagg working dog is the best for him especially if there's a bit of hot water over it to soften it up.

Fal Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 I haven't seen the program but I am sure your dog will survive on even the cheapest of foods! One of my friends has his dogs on £8 10k sack from filco foods, they do as well as any other dogs I see. When they were wild I am sure they didn't worry about whether or not their food was organic or from a prized chicken! I struggled to find a food my dog would agree with, he's now on burns, seems to be doing fine on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elby Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Chudleys Working Crunch for my spaniels. They have a hard working life but thrive on it, my dog is nearly 12 and outworks 3 year olds. I really don't care what's in it and lets be honest a dog in the wild will eat some disgusting stuff. The alpha male will go straight into the guts picking out the organs first, the rest of the meat is for the lesser dogs. What we consider a prime cut is not so good to a dog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
washerboy Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Don't get me started on wagg... Wouldn't feed rats on that stuff.. Your filling a dog but not feeding it. Look at the ingredients.. If it's that good why is it £7 a bag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Enjoyed it, learnt from it! Amazing vets get so little and so biased a training in nutrition. Those vegans who impose their diet on the dogs should be locked up though, I bet they might try brown rice and lentils with a python if you let them - Nutters!

four-wheel-drive Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Why is it that some dogs like eating rabbits heads they leave the body but eat the head strange. my biggest problem with tin food is much the same as with buying processed food for me it is the use of mechanically recovered meat where every scrap of meat is scraped off the bones that must include all sorts of nasty stuff and that is why I only eat hole chickens and joints of meat in that way I no what I am eating and any nasty bits go in the bin.

To be fair, there is no such thing as 'nasty stuff' when eating an animal. Certainly our ancestors would have eaten or made use of every last bit of a slaughtered animal. It seems that in todays world, we've been conditioned to think of some of the other bits as unappealing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mentalmac Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 My friend goes to the butchers and buys a whole load of premium meat for his dogs, (gets a real good price as he doesn't get the good cuts, mainly the stuff others don't want) and eats burgers and **** processed food himself. Once went round and on the side was a lovely bit of sirloin and when asked he said it was for his dogs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuke Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Ref to eating only the head of a rabbit. Could it be the same as with bears fishing for salmon and only eat the roe and the brains? It is the fattiest/most nutricient parts? There is not much fat on a rabbits so the dog might go for the good stuff? /Markus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would be surprised at how much of the meat that is used is not MRM , I have worked in a petfood factory for the last 23 years so have a bit of a clue. Yes some is but not all . I have also worked in a factory where MRM was used for lots of human food . fact is that MRM is no worse than whole meats because thats all it is but made into a paste .

It's all part of an animal that is edible though. Go to Greece and other parts of the world and they eat teste's, pop over to China and they eat anything that's not feathers from a bird. Even the feet! So putting it all into a nice paste doesn't seem a problem to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly it is becoming difficult to find offals in the UK. You need to go to Smithfield where there are a few speciality traders, or find an ethnic supermarket where you can buy it frozen, but sometimes fresh too. If you ever go to the US and are offered Rocky Mountain Oysters - be sure to give them a try - just don't google what they are first Edited January 31, 2014 by aris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was in China on a business trip meting one of our agents she gave me a dish to eat and half way through it I asked what it was - turns out it should have been retrieving my food not becoming it! Also ate fired crickets on a stick. Was offered goat teste's in Greece, but politely told the nice lady I was full and already had some.

I waited until she had eaten the meat and potatoes before I translated for her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wondered how all them years a go people looked at their teste's and then at the animals teste's and thought "mmm, these would go nice in a casserole".
