hahaha, point well taken jack, but time has nothing to do with me. and I can assure you I aint lazy or lame. hahaha. just found something the dogs seem to like.
but like I said point well taken from all. but jack, how about you come follow me around for a week if you can hang and then tell me I'm lazy.lmao... just cutting up with ya dude . don't blo a gasket.lmao.....
Okay, I will try to keep my sense of humor, but it fries me the (sorry, yes) LAME shit people say. For example: just found something the dogs seem to like.
WTH does that mean?
Dogs like pretty much anything
So you're telling me that you base what you feed on what "your dogs seem to like" rather than actual knowledge of feeding principles?
I'll bet if you feed them pancakes & syrup they'll wolf it down ... so maybe you should switch to pancakes & syrup because "the dogs seem to like it"
I think Skipper hit the nail on the head: I think people who feed raw "and" kibble really don't know what they're doing ... can't read or understand what's-what ... and so try to "do everything" to make themselves feel like they "haven't missed something."
So I will try to laugh with you, and maybe you're a very busy guy, and no lazy in other areas, but you sure aren't doing a good job of feeding your dogs.
That I can say for sure.
Jack
well bud you seem to want to take this to another level....so..i'll invite you not only to follow me but take a look at my dogs also cuz. till then we'll just have to agree to disagree.and I think you know exzactly what I ment by my last post. but if you choose to turn it around that's on you. yea my dogs like it and I like the way they look and act. and they're super healthy. and you're welcome anytime my friend... anytime!.
I have never fed a dog both raw and kibble. Even when I get a new dog that has been fed kibble I make the switch on day one to raw. Now that being said my raw diet is easy to do even with feedings a big yard. Jack if your reading this look it over and tell me what you think.
Things you need to feed a big yard.
1 5gal bucket
1 1gal bucket
In the 5 gal bucket I put my meat that I'm feeding for that day. ( Chicken, fish, deer, rabbit or beef)
In the 1 gal bucket I mix 2 cups of Honest Kitchen Preference ( www.thehonestkitchen.com ) with either Triple Crown Oil, Coconut oil or wheat germ oil and water
proceed to chain spots with bowls and buckets drop meat and 2 table spoons of honest kitchen in each bowl. By the time I get to the last dog the first dog is done so I can pick up the bowls and rinse. Then I scoop chain spots and kennels and keep it moving.
Good sir, the only potential trouble I see is it doesn't look like you're feeding BONES at all (maybe with the chicken), and the dogs need bones for calcium.
Not sure what the calcium profile is on the Preference, but I would always feed RAW BONES with any raw diet. Always.
Meat has a lot of phosphorus / nitrogen ... which can be problematic over time without calcium to balance it out.
A dog is supposed to have 2:1 calcium:phosphorus ratio ...
Jack
If I feed a meat without bones it's only once or maybe twice a week. And it's funny you talk about the phosphorus thing because my vet who feeds raw now tells people to add the honest kitchen because after she ran some test on her dogs she added Honest Kitchen because it will balance it all out.
Oh and to make sure I don't give out any bad info. When I feed wild game like rabbit or deer it has been frozen for a week if not more before feeding. I get all my wild game from the back yard.
I have a question. My raw diet has basically everything that Jack suggested on his videos, chicken quarter with bones, heart, gizzards, livers, intestines, soft boiled egg, yogurt, salmon oil, greens, and the multivitamin pill. Is it necessary to have the pill if my raw diet has all of that?
i feed both..sometimes my ol lady needs to feed the dogs...
With all due respect i think that covering all my bases actually is that you don't feel comfortable with your knowledge in feeding raw. If you feed a complete raw diet theres no use for kibble at all. Why give something lesser when you actually are giving what the dogs are made to eat. I used to think the same way, but i bought books and studied raw feeding to make sure i covered all my basis. I'm at the second generation of dogs that never seen a kibble in their life now and not planning on switching back anytime soon.
