Wine bones break differently after being cooked. They splinter more after cooking. That's why u ain't seen any yotes choked on chicken bones. Lol

RAW chicken bones are just fine, it's when they're cooked (smoked,grilled,fried,etc) is when they splinter off. Don't feed cooked bones at all. Rabbits are ok as a additional meat source but not enough meat and fat on a rabbit to feed as a primary meat source. Certain beef bones are a no go because of how thick they are, they can break teeth. Most don't feed pork but after your research you can make your own decision. My ONLY regret about feeding RAW is that I didn't switch to it sooner.

when I was a kid I hunted my dogs almost daily and we caught 4-6 rabbits each time out and that is what they ate after the hunt...at least half the fur was eaten as well...after that it was a few table scraps including chicken bones and fish bones now and then... |

Training dogs is not about quantity, it's more about timing, the right situations, and proper guidance...After that it's up to the dog...

I don't understand why folks say don't feed cooked meat (boiled). I feed dry food. I do feed boiled meat time to time. When I do I feed broth and all. I even mix in some veggies and taters at times. They way I figure if it's good enough for me it should be good nuff for them.

There is a really good tutorial on youtube about feeding raw, done by a gentleman who runs a bulldog board. Some on here will know who I am talking about. Some people like him some don't, but he does know the science behind feeding raw and how to correctly do it. Feeding raw really is a great way to go.

Yes Rednose, I've watched those videos as well. Have his book in my collection also. I think he has a big head but he knows his number 2. The meat is cut alot easier if it's half frozen. If I buy food unthawed, I'll bring it home and put in freezer for a couple hours and get it out and cut it, alot easier than if it's unthawed.

How do y'all think a dog would do on a diet of calf cods? Over the next six weeks I should have a few hundred pounds worth. Just wondering if they would be okay on just that or if I should supplement them with something else?

Somebody else may comment who knows what a calf cod is but I don't. But you want to have a certain ratio of meat,organ,bones so just calf cod by itself wouldn't be balanced enough, unless calf cod has all of those.

nuts.
That is not enough to feed 100%. You will need to add to it if you plan to feed it.
I feed chicken and a few times a month feed a mixture of organ meat,yogurt,wheat germ, total cereal and eggs(plus a few other small things). During the week I will throw in eggs,liver,heart etc on top of the normal amount of chicken.

We feed raw and don't have any allergy issues anymore. I have found that the brisket bone in cows are the best. Soft enough to be eaten by young dogs and old ones too. The only problem I see is when not hunting, they get fat quick.

I rotate meat sources but I feed chicken, beef, fish, turkey, duck, cornish hens so far. I'm wanting to start farming rabbits so I can add that in as a meat source. I also feed chicken hearts, gizzards, liver, turkey necks, plain yogurt, salmon oil, ACV, Kale (once a week), blueberries (once a week) and a multi vitamin. There's some I'm not thinking right now but you get the point. As far as getting fat when not working, kibble would do that more than RAW will. Just adjust the amounts you're giving. If my dogs look a little fat, I adjust accordingly, same if they look thin.

It's really a personal preference on pork because of possible diseases. Some freeze it for a few weeks and then feed it, some don't feed at all. I haven't fed it yet but I'm still considering it. I'd suggest to continue to do your research and you'll come up with what you feel comfortable doing for your dogs. I don't really think it would be necessary to feed pork if you have a nice variation of meat source incorporated already.
