  • Wow this stuff is amazing…they eat stuff like chicken & rice with veggies?!?! I dont even eat half this stuff. They eat some healthy stuff. They don't eat dog food? Sorry if thats a dumb question. I dont own one yet I am just researching. Is this the bananas, melons, peas and all that stuff a part of their normal diet or is that only on special occasions?

  • I give it to my guys as treats, more than biscuits and cookies

  • o ok, I was starting to think that they dont eat dog food at all

  • Some people do cook for their dogs or feed raw, when my guys are out of dog food and the shipment hasn't arrived yet I do cook for them and they love it

  • The quality of food is very important regardless of the breed of dog… and many people do not use dog food, but either use a raw diet (that includes raw meaty bones, bones and all, which are safe unless cooked).. and many cook for their dogs. If you use commercial dog food, be sure to use a high quality, it costs a little more but you feed less and they get more benefit from it... I have always given my fruits and Veggies.. raw, cooked .... rice is a good filler for them... pumpkin has many health benefits for dogs...

  • Sahara loves the commercial Chicken Jerky for dogs. Does anyone here have a recipe for Jerky for pets? I think I can dry it myself cheaper than what it cost. The good brand is expensive and she loves it.

  • There is a recipe on another thread-I tried it (the recipe) and it was very good-for both dogs and my husband :eek: and his friend:eek: !!:D

    I like beef jerky! if you get like chuck roast on sale at coborns or your local grocer. You have them cut it into jerky strips *like an 1/8 or 1/10 of an inch. then you dip it in soy sauce and put it on the dehydrator.

    Cook it for 2-4 hours. it will just be a little red inside when its done. but you can see its brown on top.

    I LOVE IT and my dogs go CRAZY for it! its very recommened by me and my basenji! lol

  • Paco eats Chicken Soup for the Puppy Lover's Soul usually, and will move up to the Dog Lover's Soul when he's a year old. On occasion, the store is out of his food and we either cook him some boneless chicken or give him raw beef - he's also a huge fan of eggs, more cooked than raw, though he'll eat it either way.

    Not sure how Xylitol is being marketed. It is an alcohol found in a lot of plants, including birch wood, which is the source of Xylitol used in medicines. And it is toxic to dogs, even in small amounts. Most of the time you find it in sugarless gum and candy. Here is an FDA warning "Paws Off Xylitol": https://www.fda.gov/consumers/consumer-updates/paws-xylitol-its-dangerous-dogs

    I would find out what he scared of or what he dislikes about the car. Is it the car itself, the sensation of being closed in, the movement when the car is being driven? Then work on whatever the problem is, with food. As for food, I use raw duck and vegetables. And I hand-feed all meals, so I never have a problem with not eating/partially eating. I would also recommend hand-feeding for anyone who does have a dog with food issues. Shredded chicken is good (as long as he doesn't have any reactions). But that and some kibble isn't a balanced meal. You may wish to look into a vitamin supplement, specifically something that has a focus on omega 3 (since chicken is high in omega 6), Vitamin C & the B vitamins (because if all he's eating is chicken and kibble, where is his source of vitamin C and the B vitamins?), zinc & copper (same reasons). All the best. EDIT: I just realized this thread is a year old and was bumped by what is almost certainly a bot.
  • Kibble recommendations?

    8 mos old is still on Royal Canine medium size puppy as recommended by vet. Very interested in how you change up their food. Glad to hear that because I would like to change him from chicken based to something else as adult. Had always been advised not to keep changing food as it was hard on their system. Breeder advised to use high protein and fat dog food (60% protein, 30% fat). What is your opinion on this? I am starting to add 1/2 tsp coconut oil daily to dog food for winter feeding. Advised it had ingredients similar to mother's milk. What say you about this?
