Where to find that gullet? If you have a slaughterhouse in your city, then you can probably get all of those "hard to find items". Even your local butcher might be of some help there! I get mine from this place; GreenTripe.Com Main Index as I order my green tripe from them anyways, I also get trachea and gullet. I often also order their xcalibur. See the products section. Here's another place to order exotics and hard to find items from although I haven't ordered from them yet, I plan on it if they're shipping $ is reasonable; Beef Cartilage My senior baby has a bad hip joint and I'd rather not feed artificial Glucosamine so I feed gullets and tracheas, in any form that I can get it raw. Whole or ground! :) Quote:

Well, I jumped in and tried it for the first time...I fed all 5 of my dogs chicken legs and wing drumettes tonight. I have 3 yorkies and 2 chis. My larger yorkie male, Booboo got it right away!! He took his piece and started crunching right away!! He finished the whole drumstick and then came back for more!! My tiny chi girl growled at him when he came over and she was still chewing on her bone!! All of them did well, the only one that didn't do so well was my older female yorkie who is missing all her front teeth. I was kind of pulling the meat off of the bone so she could get started. She ate about half of the leg meat but got lazy and walked away. I figured she will be hungrier tomorrow and will take more time to eat her leg!! I fed them out in the yard on the grass but I need to come up with a better plan. They don't have crates and I like to feed them all at once because it takes forever otherwise. Plus they seem to eat better when there is some competition, otherwise they don't want to eat. My kitchen floor is tile, so I am worried about the grout absorbing the juices. I might just put down a vinyl tablecloth with a sheet over it and teach them all to eat on the sheet. Thanks for all the info. I am still alittle concerned with Brooke because she is currently still on a chemo treatment and is immune deficient. She has a brain disease, but will be done with treatment in July. Thanks for all the info and links! Can you give us some inside info on meat sourcing? |

Makes me think of racing on a track! "Traction"; ROFL! I tried the towel thing in the beginning but instead of eating, all they did was roll around on those towels as they do after bath time! My dogs are crazy! So I'm using an old cotton sheet. They spend about 5 minutes moving their RMB's from one side to the other inside their xpen until everybody has settled into a spot that suits them, lol. Plus there's the coveting of things! "Even though his bone looks exactly like mine, maybe his tastes better!" I have watched them "exchange" their pieces between each other without any aggression at all but actually with a lot of love and respect. Have you heard of this? My 1 year old female even appeared to be showing the new female puppy how to do this chewing thing and kept bringing the chicken wing to her the first couple of times when I first switched her diet! Yeah, well, I guess another myth is that pack behavior is savage! Btw. thanks for mentioning the chicken feet, I totally forgot about those! Past Halloween, I colored the nails on the chicken feet with KoolAid because my dear friend from Seattle was visiting and I wanted to freak her out as she's totally squeamish about prey model and feeding time! ROFL Quote:

How funny! I am feeding them once a day with a little kibble in the morning until tommorrow and then it's no more of that stuff! I am gonna get some organ meat for their "breakfast" I just have to put out something or Coco will scratch at the door all morning long cuz she's a piggy. I guess they will slow down soon. Thanks ya'll for the help. I am so glad someone else is starting this and enjoying it too! Aren't they so cute when they are being vicious?:aimeeyork |
My babies have had raw for there last 3 meals now. They are eating the chicken leg meat but won't eat the bone. Do you just keep giving them back the bone until they eat it? Betty |

His front left leg was the worst and he now leads with that leg again when running. He looks graceful again when doing his ballerina twirls when we come home. :rolleyes: My son noticed he again leaps up from his bed first thing in the morning. We are all just amazed at how this diet has changed his quality of life. |

I have to do that with the cats too. |
Last night was the second night with chicken and they were loving it. My small chi, 3 lbs, gorged a little too much and threw up some of her dinner. It came out the same as it went in!! She is just so excited for it that I think she tries to eat too fast! I've never seen her excited for food like that before! I also got a deal at Safeway yesterday, they have the Foster Farm's chicken breast, thighs and legs at $.99/lb!! How long can you keep the meat frozen? I bought a bunch and split it into baggies for their daily rations. |
