Catch me if you can
we
rave here for our raw diet that we feed our malamutes...
from the time storm first arrived here she was on complete diet,which
to be honest was not doing her any favours at all
from runny bums, hyperactivity..not wanting to eat (picky) poor
coat quality... which made me research into a much more suitable
malamute diet!!!!...we soon started to feed BARF..and have never
looked back since,although barf is a diet not everyone is happy
to feed, there have been past many indications complete diet can
be responsible for gastrointestinal bloat ..and a variety of many
other health problems..I reminded myself constantly..of how malamutes
survived living in the artic....years ago when these particulalar
types of dogs where fed on a diet of seal meat,whale meat,fish,maybe
rabbit...and basically whatever was available for food at the time
:+) and yet they still remained to be the hardest working breed
to do the job they were bred for ...
here is our diet .....I got a whole lot of knowledge from reading
DR Billinghursts book on BARF...
our doggies diet!
BREAKFAST
in the morning I usually give a pound of raw minced ground chicken
or minced ground lamb or tripe.(beware the tripe..its great for
them but the stuff mannn it stinks!!!!...1 or 2 chicken wings mixed
in with some cooked raw veggies (i.e. carrots broccoli cabbage even
maybe a bit of potatoes I steam them first I add a raw egg mixed
in (I mix everything together in one big tub then divide)
every day to youngsters I always give goats milk after a meal,they
really love it,sometimes for the gang I will make a big measuring
jug and make a cup of tea made with goats milk the add some cold
water
fresh clean water is always to be made available
for tea time meal...mmmm what have I in!!! some chicken wings or
I buy small chickens and cut them up in pieces raw lamb ribs is
one of there favourites!!!! fish pilctures
meat bits I get from my butchers (he saves them for us) and its
usually only cheap for a big bagful its cut off bits like maybe
beef pork chicken lamb whatever is in there it all goes in!!!!!!!
I don't tend to feed lots of bone to my gang only usually once or
twice a week for teeth cleaning purposes and enjoyment more than
anything..mainly, as i am always a bit leery of bone fragments becoming
trapped in there intestinal tract...
one or two of our guys still have a part complete i use a very low
protein complete almost a mixer biscuit then make up the protein
levels with the added meat content
of course one the extra added enjoyments is...pedigree gravy bones
which is given quite frequently as a little training treat......mmmmm
they luvvvv em!!!!!
