Raw diet - photo dump!

[dpenning]

Not totally related but the cow stomach reminded me of when we were in Africa on safari watching a lion on a fresh kill. It was interesting that he first pulled the hair off and spit it out the got to the innards. When he was eating the intestines he took an end in his mouth and worked it so he was squeezing out the contents as he went. It looked like he was eating a noodle. Very smart. Nature and instinct are amazing.

That is a lovely dog. Is it a tibetan mastiff? Looks like a bear.

Yes, Reilly is a 16 month old male Tibetan Mastiff from Drakyi TMs in Action, CA. He still has some of his puppy fur, but the first moult is just beginning!

The smaller one is Djouli, a 7+ yr old female from Lafahhs in the Netherlands.

I've heard to stay away from pork because uncooked it can carry a bacteria harmful to humans and other animal. Can't think of the name of it right off the top of my head though.

Human grade pork is fine to feed dogs. If you have any concerns freeze it for a few weeks before feeding.

Ditto to O.H.F.

IV also heard raw pork can carry worms I fed a lot of chicken and beef when I did raw I would like to start back up but there aren't any good butcher shops here.... but hey if you feed pork and are worried about worms sprinkle some cloves and grind a little garlic

Tapd on my skyrocket using 2.0 beta 5

Tiger, you're thinking of Trichinosia which is caused by an intestinal round worm. It is very rare in human grade pork, which is what you feed your dogs. Again if ever in doubt freezing (at 22 degrees F for 25 days) kills it.

Ahhh thank you for clearing that up

Dozer likes BRAINS

My craiglist score. I checked out the packages like a mother checks halloween candy.

Who wants venison?

This is a pic of my small dog's teeth. I do not have a before pic. He is 8 1/2 years old. He broke his right carnassal tooth chewing on a smoked bone that he never should have gotten. When I brought him in to have it removed, the vet was amazed that she wasn't going to have to do a dental on this senior, small breed dog. I guess it's a routine thing to do when removing a tooth? He has gotten rmb's since 2007 (off and on and now full time raw)

Great pics & wow check out those pearly whites!

One thing tho...aren't onions hghly toxic to dogs? someone mentioned feeding onions on here.

 

[musicdeb]

Yes, onions are highly toxic to dogs.

 

[angelbears]

Breakfast this morning. Liver and Eggs. YUK! They love it and it is the only way to get liver down them.

 

[allformyk9s]

That looks SO gross, but I know my dogs would love it too :lol:

Yes, onions are highly toxic to dogs.

I know people talk about he onions being toxic to dogs so I was surprised as we always gave them onions. Went to my old colleagues and ask them what are they giving to the dogs now, and if they knew about onions being toxic.

All K9 units, with 120 (more or less) dogs give a mix of carrots, greens, onions and some garlic. For meat we still give donkey. The meat is cooked, not given raw, but I really see the benefits of raw.

I am visiting the K9 unit school base in June, a 20 year reunion, and for sure will bring the issue of onions as being poison to dogs again, just to be sure. Some of the people that teach at the base have not done anything but worked with dogs for over 40 years.

onions (and even large amounts of garlic) cause the blood cells to hemolyze (burst) causing a red cell deficiency (anemia).

Also, I like using Parentheses apparently. LOL

I meant to get back here to post of pic of Reilly's teeth. Never brushed just raw feeding:
