And hope you were able to instill some disciple to him during your stay

Just learnt something new today, and felt I should share because of some of my earlier comments on your thread.

If your dog doesn't tolerate cow milk that well, it might still tolerate goat milk because goat milk has a lower quantity of lactose (milk sugar) in it. Hence goat milk is an option for such dogs.

Another alternative, which is even better than goat milk, is yoghurt because yoghurt is produced through a process that breaks down milk sugar into something else that is not that harmful to dogs.

Hence you can actually replace milk with yoghurt and not have that 'purging' but still give your dog the full benefit it would have derived from milk.

It's so great to catch up on what I have missed. Brother, great job you are doing, keeping the pack "alive".
This your training session is critical o, Gustaf couldn't get his eyes off the treat. I never succeeded in calming hyper dogs down before feeding them, they just cooperated temporarily and still had their eyes glued to the food till I was forced to give in.... I couldn't try the delay tactics of leaving them and returning some minutes later repeatedly till they are calm, because they were not mine and time wasn't on my side. All the YouTube videos sef, make it look like hyper dogs are the easiest to train esp when it has to do with food but it is not the same in reality. For the raw feeding...... Though it helps to bring out all the features in a dog, but I think you should be par boiling it... Atleast to the point you are certain possible microbes won't survive, but nutrients won't also be lost., cos it is easier for the canines to get infected esp if the slaughtered animals were sick.
You didn't really feature the Rottie in your posts, we have die hard Rott lovers here too o. Great job once again. More grease to your elbow.
To all my senior cynophiles in the house, I hail O.... I remain humble

I hope OP has stopped feeding raw chicken to his dogs.

*Disadvantages include transmission of diseases, feeding an unbalanced diet as nothing else is usually added to the raw meat, and besides bones from the parts of the chicken he chose can easily fragment and choke the dogs or cause internal splinter injuries.

Even when you cook, please always choose safer parts of the meat. Chicken wings and feet are just not safe. Better to give chicken neck, breast or head (less risky)...

nice dogs bro.....keep up d good work


and d chicken legs u speak of, is it cooked or uncooked because if it is cooked,d bones are still dangerous to d dog even if u chop it into small bits.
I once served my dog cooked chicken legs I broke into pieces.After eating it,he stopped eating for 3 good days.he then started vomiting those bones and later in d day, he began to eat little by little.
I do give my dog raw chicken wings ,head and neck and he loves it,no health issues because we rear d chickens our selves.

vincentjk:


I used to do the feeding raw but i stopped knowing that it's kinda harmful, we should all be careful while feeding our dogs bones

So how best do you advice i serve the chicken??

Rany4all:
I still find it difficult to see how feeding raw chicken wing and feet can be considered safe while the cooked ones are not...

The way I see it, as long as the bones within the meat are the type that can be cracked or broken into sharp fragments by a dog, then its not safe (and believe me, a mature dog can easily do that to any hollow long bone, even the raw ones)

Eveezy:

The only reason why raw feeding can be frowned on is the disease cos one may not actually know the source, boiled meat are usually stronger Dan raw ones, u know dt right? Dsame goes for the bone. If one wants to avoid his dog choking, then u entire stop feeding bones, boiling bone makes it have higher chances of choking than when it's raw

Rany4all:
'Higher chances' means there is still some chance of a dog choking on raw bones, right?

And I disagree that the 'only reason' is the disease...what about nutritional deficiencies. Just like humans, dogs also need a balanced diet...they have adapted their dietary requirements over thousands of years of living with humans. They need a diet containing carbohydrates, proteins, fats & oils, vitamins, minerals and of course water, all in the right proportion and quantity.

Below is a screenshot from a very reputable website (WebMD) on the risks of feeding raw meat...

What balanced diet is there in boiled water? How does boiling a meat increases it's nutritional content? Or u talking of d oil extract dt comes out wen d meat is boiled? Where re d extracts coming from? The water or the meat? ND what do u think is d nutritional content of meat? Just protein? Or are u talking abt the spices? Like Maggi, salt, onion, curry? U do know salt isn't good for dogs right ND neither is onion, what do u need curry for in boiling meat for dogs sef, people claim it's fo it to entice dem, dogs already have high sense of smell to detect that meat already smells yummy without curry. So if you are talking about balanced diet, boiling ur meat doesn't create a balance diet, I mean what's the logic in that? U only need feed other things to acompany for a balanced diet.

Always keep a bowl of water for ur dog, it's very necessary not cos I wanto use it to create balanced diet by boiling meat

Eveezy:

Now this was posted by someone like u as a potential risk, ND d unbalanced diet here is cos d poster was talking about is strictly raw feeding i.e no other thing given to the dog apart from raw meat. Too much of anything is nt good, even humans need to rotate their food, one can't keep eating eba cos he loves it, d person will ve a deficiency
