They need a balanced diet of the right mix of raw meat, raw bones and raw offal. They are carnivores. This is true as soon as they are weaned off milk. There isn't an inbetween stage when they should eat human food.
halle-phucking-lujah!
Dogs might have been tamed into soft parlour specimens but their guts haven't changed from a wolf`s guts no matter what size,shape or breed
I swear some of you blokes would faint if you saw what my dogs eat..with relish i must add.
If I`m killing wild pigs they eat pork
if I`m killing deer they eat venison
rabbit,roo meat,chicken meat,goat meat,sheep meat,beef they dont give a ratz arse wtf it is as long as it fills their guts.Whip the liver out of a deer and see a dog wolf it down on the spot (get it? WOLF it down)
The last liver I shared,mine was cooked their half was raw.
They swing off a boned out frame of any species,and as prev mentioned they ALWAYS get the washed out paunches of any deer,they get the axe split deer heads and if they are hungry they will chew on the hides..sambar have bristles not hair and when you see the dogs stools all of the bristles are lined up precisely in one direction ..nature decrees this in the dogs guts as its for an easy passing mechanism..even that gaybo parlour poodle will line up the hairs the right way.
I see where people give their dogs 'dog chews' like dried pigs ears etc..what is wrong with giving a dog what it SHOULD get...bones and more bones,something to gnaw on,it is as natural as any wild dog wherever,a pigs ear is not a bone!
It irks me no end to see Vets (here) spruiking how good the (insert canned dog food) is for your dog,a balanced diet etc..geezuz if a dog lived entirely on canned food its teeth would fall out and probably its eyes lol.
Cooked rice and vegetables belong on humans plates not on dog dishes. A carnivore is a carnivore is a carnivore and that dog that gets fed a brewed up mix of ***** will jump hurdles to get a piece of meat,fresh or old no matter.
The pet food industry is a major con and preys on the unknowing and fallible.
I once lived on a property where an unwanted/injured horse would be led down the paddock and shot and the "rabbit pack" of 70 dogs would feed on it for a week..the chooks never laid better also..protein!
The wild dogs of the world whether Cape Hunting dogs or any of the wolf species and the Asian wild dogs are certainly not a threatened species at all they have thrived even with man encroaching on their habitats,they live and breathe meat..no rice,no vegies,no additives just meat,bones and guts.They evolved with a no cooking diet!
