Bec Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 It depends on the diet. Chicken wings can be a great meal if you alternate it with the BARF slop. My dogs eat chicken (frames, wings, necks etc) several times a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raindog Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 If we are replacing a meal, we give ours 6 each. Don't get too many at any one time though so that you have to freeze them. Fresh, the bones are soft (more gristle than bone) but freezing/cooking can make them brittle. Mick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalaKai Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 This is something i've been thinking about , I wasn't sure that giving dogs chicken was good although I have read that many people do . So are chicken wings and other bits ok for my huskies ....do they have them raw ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken bones are great for dogs if raw but dangerous if cooked Chicken frames here refer to the chicken carcass - so what you get once you have taken the meat etc off. I don't know how easily you get them in the UK but I go to a butcher and get them, they are really cheap and the dogs love them! ETA: I store raw chicken bones/carcasses in my freezer and they are fine to give to the dogs as long as you defrost them first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalaKai Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 I wouldn't be impressed if you gave me liver either !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siberian_wolf Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 Im sorry but know much about this diet. We feed our 3 cooked gammon or Chicken (without the bones as they can splinter when cooked). We do feed them the bones from the gammon but we shred the meat off the bone (or get the butcher to do it) first, there is usally a little bit of raw meant left usually at either end which never seems to harm them. Everyday diet is wainwrights dry food. I would say possibly every other day or something like that. As long as you ration them with the chicken it should be ok, but like I say I dont know much about this diet. What kind of Liver was it? I heard that Lambs liver is meant to be the best to feed dogs.

The key of feeding a BARF diet is that you feed all food raw - you don't cook anything as BARF (and other raw diets) are based on the idea that dogs are biologically evolved to eat raw, not processed, food. If you are going to feed any meat (even if you feed dried food as well) it is best and most beneficial to feed it raw. The important thing about a BARF diet is getting the right balance between meat and vegies (i.e. BARF slop) and raw bones. cheers for that , can get the carcasses daily as well , tried the pups with liver last night, they were so not impressed, i just worrry about getting the right ammount of food in them , but will keep going and see what happens My dogs aren't fussed on liver either, but they do need some offal, so I chop it up really finely and put it in the BARF slop with the mince and vegies etc - I never have any trouble with them eating it then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
