what my dogs eat

For the past 35yrs I've been feeding my dogs a BARF diet, which consists of twice a week raw fruit, vegetables and seasonal salad mixed meal, the other days just raw meat and bones. I bulk blitz all the the fruit & veg and salad in the blender and portion into tubs for the freezer. The veg meals I add either beef,chicken,rabbit or deer mince along with either turkey,chicken,duck necks or wings,feet, the meat only meals are a mixture of chicken or rabbit carcass's along with wings, necks and offal. I'm very fortunate that I have a local small independent abattoir who supplies reasonable priced raw bones/meat and offal for working dogs, I also supplement with what my dogs catch, rabbit whilst in hunting season, squirrels and road kill. My beloved companions are very fit and healthy , they enjoy there meal times with gusto. End of last year I took Bryn my 7yr old lurcher to the vets for his annual vaccination and check up, the new vet there commented on how clean his teeth and gums where for a 7yr old and asked how often I cleaned them she couldn't believe never. I'm not preaching but the reason all those years ago I changed from a processed kibble diet was after my first wonderful lurcher died of cancer, not saying it was because of his diet but after reading the books by Dr Ian Billinghurst I never wanted to go through the pain of early loss again. Also I remember what my dear Mum would say when I was a little nipper growing up 'eat up your veg do you the world of good'. Hope you don't mind my long winded post.
best wishes to one and all

Sorry I’m not very good with tech

 

I caught the wabbit but had to share it with Jess

 

I like the banter here, I've just been given my son's old iphone and tried using it to post the pics, they look the right way round when I post them, going back to my laptop.

 

Jess's turn this morning, she caught a squirrel , its in the freeze now ready for Friday nights tea well it only small so an appetizer before main course . The great British menu.
