DREMEN

Our dogs are both of Supercoat Puppy, they don't smell but their farts really STINK!

And also their poo's are a horrible colour and texture.

She is getting desexed on thursday.

She sheds alot of fur at the moment. HEAPS!

Yesterday I bought Bella a puppy kong. This one:

I blocked the hole with peanut butter, stuffed it with a smacko added water and froze it. I gave it to her at lunch and she LOVES it.

She licks it, then throws it, rolls on it, licks it some more. She was having a blast.

Can't wait to try some of these other stuffing ideas

Jenny Wareham -> Now thats a tought staffy!!!

Is cheese or cream cheese ok for dogs? I was under the impression it wasn't (like normal milk)??

The black kongs are meant to be the strongest! Would take alot to break on of those I hear.

HAHAHA! Bella loves those games too. Chew everything in the backyard. Dig. Throw her toys are and catch them

God I love beagles

How do you freeze them? Doesn't the water drain out the hole?

Thanks to everyone Some great ideas!

What kongs do you guys have and what do you put in them?

Unfortunately I will be starting a new job soon (good for me) but the problem is that for 10 weeks I will be attending training in the city which means our 6 month beagle will be left alone for 9 hours during the day. :rolleyes: :cool:

What do you guys and girls do to prevent boredom in these situations?

Thanks

Ben

Our beagle is 5 months old and she lost 3 on the weekend. Maybe more but we only found 3 on the floor.

I was also advised this by a groomer for my beagle. Her dew claws get caught all the time

I would love to hear the pro's and con's

I haven't read his book (yet).

I hadn't even gotten that far. I was planning on feeding some veggies during the week but 2 days I got scared and chickened out

Don't I feel like a fool ;)

I was feeding chicken wings, necks and I tried to feed chicken liver but she wouldn't eat it.

I did notice all her poo's had turned white and were tiny. Todays were back to HUGE black/brown poo's!!

edit -> Thankyou to everyone who corrected me.

Also, I think I might have overfed her on the raw diet. Because one day she wasn't really interested in food. When I gave her a chicken wing she just went and buried it. ;)

Bad news ;) I have chickened out of feeding a raw diet

After two days of feeding chicken wings, necks and carcass I watched our Beagle struggling to goto the toilet. He poo's were really small and hard. It looked like it was really hurting her ;)

So at the moment I am back to recreational bones

Thanks Purple Julie I will give those a go

Alrighty, no luck finding whole chickens (organs included). But I have started the RAW diet anyway.

She loves chicken, drumsticks, wings, necks. I am going to start buying whole chickens and chopping them into 1/4's.

One problem I have found is that she won't eat chicken liver which I am trying to fed her. She is currently only eating chicken and the occasional rec bone.

Thanks. What about whole chickens with the organs still inside?

Instead of feeding my puppy weetbix and cooked mince I have decided to give the RAW diet a go.

She has always loved chicken and meat/bones so I thought this would be the best thing for her.

A few questions:

Where in Western Sydney would I buy whole Chickens from? Ones that I can cut into 4 and feed?

I can't remember ever seeing them for sale in shops anywhere

I will be feeding mostly chicken (wings, necks). A small amount of liver. The occasional fish. And recreational bones such as lamb shanks and brisket bones.

My dog east rabbit poo! ;)

I have been wondering the same thing about giving chicken necks/wings to my pup (14 weeks old) but now i'll definately give it a go, with supervision.

What about other bones? Lamb shanks etc?

I give them all to Bella. She loves bones and chicken necks.

Just supervise your pet just in case. I still watch Bella when she has a bone or chicken neck.

Your dogs will do back flips for them!

Is chicken neck ok to give to pups? wouldn't they accidently be choked by the fine bones? I am just a bit nervous giving them to my pup.

I have feed Bella chicken necks for at least 4 weeks. She loves them. Never once had a problem. She gobbles up and nearly swollows them whole!

I think I remember either posting or reading a thread on here about chicken necks being fine for puppies.

I give my pup dry food or kibble with puppy milk for breakfast and he loves it. It might be a good alternative to weetbix.

GREAT idea Thanks
