Bullie 1284557     Barked: Sat May 18, '13 10:34pm PST  Cats do well on whole prey. And because cats are smaller than most dogs they can live off of rodents, small birds, and fish. No need to calculate percentages of organs and bones and such if you feed whole prey. Here are examples readily available at reptile stores or the freezer at the reptile section of a pet store (snakes and giant lizards are fed the same things): - mice - rats - hamsters - gerbils - guinea pigs - rabbits - quail - chicks - goldfish (or any orher appropriately sized feeder fish at the pet fish section of a pet store) All of these can be fed to your cat whole and would contain all the nutrients in the proper proportion. Hope this helps. my posts | my page | msg me | gift me | become pals [notify]

Bullie 1284557     Barked: Sat May 18, '13 10:16pm PST  My dogs get a bath about once every 3 months unless we take them to the beach - they get a bath when we get home to get the salt out. As far as the head... I use the hand-held spray and I would put the nozzle flush on his forehead and then under his chin. I hold the scruff of the neck so he doesn't do the shake. I then rub soap all over his face and chin, being careful not to get it n the eyes and then do the spray nozzle thing again to rinse, my posts | my page | msg me | gift me | become pals [notify]

Raw Food Diet > A Paw in the Door?

Bullie 1284557     Barked: Thu May 16, '13 1:14pm PST  Depending on your location, you may find that 100% Raw is around the same price as 100% Fromm... My budget for my dog is $1 per pound. She is 60 lbs and eat between 1 and 1.5 lbs. per day. I target around $75 per month. my posts | my page | msg me | gift me | become pals [notify]

Food & Nutrition > Orijen vs Fish4Dogs

Bullie 1284557     Barked: Thu May 16, '13 8:15am PST  I wouldn't change orijen in this situation. I would get high quality canned dog food (green tripe would be good) and use it to top his Orijen. my posts | my page | msg me | gift me | become pals [notify]

Raw Food Diet > Cornish Game Hens??

Bullie 1284557     Barked: Thu May 16, '13 8:06am PST  I feed this to my English Bulldogs. I split it in half separating the breasts so it fits in the freezer container. No problem. Small bones are not a problem. They just swallow it whole. It's the too small to chew but too big to fit through the throat which is a choking hazzard. my posts | my page | msg me | gift me | become pals [notify]

Bullie 1284557     Barked: Thu May 16, '13 8:02am PST  I just re-read the post above and I can't edit it anymore... Major Correction: Instead of: (I can't speak for the Orijen-type foods out there) I meant: (I'm only speaking about the Orijen-type foods out there) Meaning - I am only talking about High Quality Dog Food and not the crappy dog food usually found in the grocery aisles. my posts | my page | msg me | gift me | become pals [notify]

Raw Food Diet > Is this truth or another fat lie from companies?

Bullie 1284557     Barked: Wed May 15, '13 8:04am PST  No, it is not a scam. And I'm a raw-feeder. There is a difference between Puppy Food and Adult Food and it is not the "protein percentage" (well, I can't speak for the Orijen-type foods out there). The main difference is the calories per serving. The main source of calories of quality dog food is the Protein source, therefore, increasing/decreasing calories involves increasing/decreasing protein content (not percentage). But because you need a certain amount of carbs to keep that kibble mold (breading), the protein percentage may be affected. Puppies and pregnant bitches require a higher caloric intake than other dogs. In kibble, simply feeding more food may not be the answer to increasing calories (although, it can be) because then the dog is also taking in more carbs with the protein. So, that's why, special puppy formula are made so that there is more calories per serving but there is not more carbs per serving (which causes the protein percentage to be higher compared to other formula). Other specific puppy requirements - like the calcium/phosphorous balance for proper balanced growth, etc. are also factors in the design of Puppy food. In raw feeding - the way we increase caloric intake is just to give the dog more food. This increases the protein intake without having to worry about carbs. The responsibility of proper balance of minerals in growing puppies is left to the person feeding the pup. For example, if you have a giant dog, you need to pay very close attention to how much bone-to-calories you are giving the dog to prevent growth imbalance. my posts | my page | msg me | gift me | become pals [notify]

Raw Food Diet > heartworm preventative...yes or no?

Bullie 1284557     Barked: Wed May 15, '13 7:43am PST  Mine don't get any. They get K9 Advantix that repels mosquitos as well as fleas and get yearly heartworm checks. my posts | my page | msg me | gift me | become pals [notify]

Raw Food Diet > Do you always keep watch?

Bullie 1284557     Barked: Wed May 15, '13 7:35am PST  Yes. It only takes them like 3 minutes. They get meat chunks and chicken leg which takes them a few chomps and swallows. I give them big bones - like Pork Shoulder bones and such - as chew toys and no, I don't watch while they wrestle with it. I just come back later and pick up what they didn't eat. my posts | my page | msg me | gift me | become pals [notify]

Bullie 1284557     Barked: Thu May 9, '13 3:22pm PST  I portion out the dog's food into individual one-day containers. I usually take out a container in the morning when they go out and then feed it in the afternoon. But, my dog has had popsicle dinner once or twice. They gnaw on it like it's bone. Dry skin, barring allergies or parasites, are usually a sign of low quality fat intake. Grain-fed beef is usually low on quality fat. Grass-fed beef is higher in quality fat. But, it is super expensive to feed our dogs grass-fed beef. So, we try to balance it out - fats from Grain-fed beef balanced with fats from fatty fish like Salmon or Trout. my posts | my page | msg me | gift me | become pals [notify]
