Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Hello, I have just joined really to come to the B.A.R.F and holistic section of the forums, I have been feeding natural and raw foods to my dogs for years, I have recentlu went 100% as I used to do the 50-50 thing as my dogs were all over 100pounds.

Now I have just one large dogs 95 pounds and a house full of Chihuahua's. I feed all my dogs 100% natural with supplements added.

I am curious what everyone here is feeding?

What supplements are you all using? And would you mind explaining why you use a certain supplement or two?

I look forward to reading your responses and sharing my experinces here also.

Thanks

Hi! I've been feeding raw for over 21 years... to giant breed dogs. Welcome!

I started feeding raw about 7 years ago when our dog was diagnosed with having a thyroid tumor...he wasn't expected to live very long. We made a drastic switch and he lived another 5 1/2 years, he died just last October.

But since that time I have been blessed with another GSP (German Shorthaired Pointer) Acquired from a little county animal shelter in MI, (we drove 6 hrs to get him!) I named him Winston( you got it after the Winston Churchhill! ). I am feeding him raw also and at first he wasn't to sure about it but now he loves all kinds of raw meat, well except the texture of raw liver *laughs*.

I feed everything from chicken leg quarters to beef tongue, heart etc. I also use Brewer's Yeast for the B-complex vitamins and diatom. earth for parasite prevention, he also gets garlic every now and then.

We grow our own beef for ouselves so I get all the liver, hearts, tongues practically free for the dog. Besides that I try to work with whatever is on sale. Pink salmon is on sale this week for $1 a lb so I think I will give that a try.
