Good Morning!
Glad to hear all is well! Pork necks are a great chew work out and perfect sized for small breed dogs but it's too bony to feed alone. You should feed organ meat alongside of that or at least within the same day. Or, if you can get some boneless meat of any protein source. The guideline is 80% muscle meat, 10% bone and 10% organ. You *could* overdo the organs which would result in runny poops. But if your dogs seem to be tolerating the amounts you're currently feeding them, then it's just fine!
Some dogs don't like liver and that's ok. He may take to it later on. All organ meat is suitable, doesn't have to a specific one. Too much liver
will cause the runs so introduce this gradually and see how the poops get so you'll know how much is too much. You're tweaking!
Another day in prey model dog's paradise!
My little piglets had chicken this morning and something called excalibur from this place;
GreenTripe.Com Main Index
Tripe is pretty much the only thing what prey model feeders will feed ground up as it's extremely difficult to obtain whole! Also, ground up is easier to deal with as tripe is probably the most disgusting thing to feed as it looks horrible and stinks high to heaven!

Not sure how big it is and if it will work for both dogs but I guess when I actually go to the store, it should all fall into place.  But I do have one question, I've been feeding chicken in the evening, either a thigh or leg or breast depending on the dog and what I have. I also discovered that they really like gizzards and hearts so I've fed that as breakfast and also along with dinner but can you over do it on those? About how much should they get of that? Since they like it so much, they would eat the whole package I think. Also, I've been feeding the liver too. Sometimes as breakfast, sometimes along with dinner but I heard that you can be careful so not to overdo it. How much is too much? And finally, I know some liver is good but Sasha (my collie) doesn't like it at all. Doesn't she need some? Should I be worried about her not eating it, should I be encouraging it more or just don't worry about it?
Thanks for all your helpful advice!!!!! |
