Ozzy Fudd Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 im just wondering how everyone here prepares any shot rabbits for their dogs, at the mo ive got a steady supply of rabbits coming in (too many to eat) so was going to give some to jess (my rottie). a few people have told me they just gut and sken them and give the dog the whole carcass but im a bit worried about the bones getting stuck in her throat, what do you guys think? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyboots Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 mate ive fed my lurchers and springers on rabbit and all i do is gut them then give the rabbit to them fur and all what ever you do do not boil the rabbits and give it to your dog with the bones in or the bones will splinter and stick in your dog if your gonna boil them then once its cooked peel the meat of the bone and feed it to your dog but as i say give it to him raw and it will be far better for your dog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
libs Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 The guys at work just smash the larger bones with a mallet and give the dog the whole package fur and all. It might be best to introduce this to them over a period of time (especially the fur) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huntinlass Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 My spaniels/lurcher/terrier all eat boiled meat on the bone. What ever we get too much of- whether rabbit pigeon, phesent, deer, partidge, hare etc they just have it skinned, gutted and boiled- no probs. My dogs are gantets but fine sometimes they will lick the meat off the bone and leave the smaller bones, if you cook it long enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveB916 Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 I just pop mine in with the Sunday roast and feed them to the dogs througout the week. Dave B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WGD Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 Feed them any way the dog will take them but whatever you do, DO NOT FEED COOKED BONES TO YOUR DOG! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr lee Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 We make a casserole out of any left over ones. Boil them up, throw some veg in near the end and wait for it to cool then strip all the bones out of them and feed the meat, veg and liquid to the dogs.
