Darby - C.G.C. The Anti-Lassie     Barked: Thu May 17, '07 9:52pm PST  Darby eats: bone-in chicken bone in pork boneless beef, (except for occasional marrow bones) chicken feet (usually serve one with the boneless beef) liver - either chicken, pork or beef kidney - mostly pork green tripe (I usually will give small portions with a meal) heart - either chicken, beef or pork That's about it. We don't get anything fancier, like lamb or buffalo, unless it's a DEEP discount. The green tripe is the most expensive item on the menu, at about $2.50 a pound. I try to keep everything else a $2.00 a pound or under. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Darby - C.G.C. The Anti-Lassie     Barked: Thu May 17, '07 10:01pm PST  Oh, you reminded me, Winnie - Darby also eats salt-free sardines. It is the only fish I have found that he likes. Also the only cooked food that he eats. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Meridian Proud to be a- kitchen wolf!!!     Barked: Thu May 17, '07 10:35pm PST  We eat a whole lotta stuff, but off the top of my head, here's some I can think of. Remember, our pack is three, and we range from 35 pounds to 60 pounds, so our items aren't necessarily going to be the same as your items. (Though they might be when you're older!) Funny, I think a million dogs have been getting at this same question, but never phrased it quite like you did! The regular stuff: Whole chickens Chicken quarters (Other chicken parts when they're cheap, but nothing too small) Turkey drumsticks Turkey wings Whole turkeys split between us (mom's getting good at the butchering) REALLY MEATY pork breast bones REALLY MEATY pork neck bones REALLY MEATY beef neck bones REALLY MEATY beef ribs Beef heart, liver, kidney Pork heart, liver, kidney, spleen, lung Chicken liver, heart Turkey liver Pork hocks Pork legs Elk ribs REALLY MEATY elk necks Green beef/bison tripe REALLY MEATY beef/bison shanks (taken away when AS SOON as they're done -- the "trade for a new one" thing is well established here) Salmon (whole) Salmon (heads and trim) Trout (whole) Trout (heads and trim) Whole chicken eggs Canned sardines and wild salmon for those "uh-oh I forgot to defrost something" days Speaking of "ooops" days, I work at a natural pet food store that sells raw, and I'll freely admit that the girls get ground patty-form meals on occasion. They consist of whole carcasses ground up of: Beef Lamb Bison Elk Duck Llama Stuff we've had, and/or would like to include more regularly More elk and bison parts Goat parts Lamb/sheep parts Other types of eggs Ostrich parts Moose parts Beaver Duck Game fowl Llama just about any other semi-natural prey animal you can come up with and is safe for my girls! Stuff that doesn't work for us, and/or that we do only occasionally: One of the three dogs doesn't like rabbit (whole or parts), so we do that seldomly, and not for Natty now. Tilapia fish Smelts (fish) Pork jowls (ack -- don't do it!!!! Way too fatty!) We just established a raw food buyer's group here in Calgary, so I now have a lot more stuff available to me now. Can't wait to take advantage of ALL of it in the future!!! Raw food is fun! my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Mia Bella Just a little- girl!     Barked: Thu May 17, '07 10:38pm PST  Okay lets see here...a lot of this stuff probably won't work for you 'cause Mia is a LOT smaller than you!! I agree with Fudge, the Raw Feeding Recipes Page she posted is great! -Cut up 1 lb Cornish game hens (this would work better for you with bigger chickens probably!) -Beef Necks (these probably would not work for you) -Chicken Necks (I don't feed them often, probably too small and boney to make a good meal for you) -Canned Sardines -Canned Salmon -Canned Jack Mackeral -Fresh whole tilapia (Mia HATED IT!!!! Raw or Cooked!) -Boneless pork meat (haven't tried much pork yet but have it in the freezer to add soon) -Pork Necks (again, probably wouldn't work for you) -Green Tripe -Lamb Breast (bone in) -Lamb Shank -Venison Neck (more of a recreational bone) -Goat (we've only tried a few ribs so far) -We also have the Beef, Chicken+Turkey, and Lamb Nature's Variety frozen raw in the freezer that I feed about once a week. -Beef liver and kidney -Pork spleen -Chicken Feet -BARF World Beef Offal (Organ) Patties Yeeeshh...its a good thing she has her own freezer now! Bol, hope that helps a bit. Definitely check out the link that Fudge posted! my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Hubby says I. must.stop.buying.meat since it's also starting to spill into the freezer in the house, and the small chest freezer is supposed to be for the garden veggies. It must be emptied soon! I had to pass up a really good sale on lamb last week too - beware, meat sales become addictive! Edited by author Fri May 18, '07 5:25am PST [notify]
