Guest Pandii Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Rice and veges with gravey on top?? What about a tin of sardines/tuna and an egg?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KitKat Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 (edited) Make up rice in chicken or beef stock with some frozen vegies - unsalted stock if you have it...otherwise whatever you have - and mix a raw egg thru...shell and all. Mind you...they can go for a night without food...it won't hurt them - however they could haunt your every move and cry until you feed them if they aren't used to it Edited September 11, 2007 by KitKat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden Rules Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Yes, rice or pasta - add some sardines? Or an egg? Got any human left overs? Weetbix and milk would even do - as long as there's no wheat allergy and lactose intolerancce....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poodle wrangler Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 I'm "mean" like KitKat, too. A day without food won't hurt. Are they howling, yet? ;) Rice, pasta, veges etc. are really fillers and won't give much nutrition but make them happier. Dogs need more meat, offal etc. Don't give them corn unless you want to see it again whole in their poo . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KitKat Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 So...MDL...what did you end up giving the pooch last night?? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~Anne~ Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Wow... I'm kind of........... astounded............ that someone would not plan ahead and could 'run out of food' for their pets. :shakehead: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KitKat Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Not necessarily a surprise...can also depend on where you live and what you have access to. Could be they have food delivered and it hasn't arrived by the expected date - or they miscalulated what was in the freezer when they arranged the delivery date. Could be the bag of food that the OH was supposed to pick up and put in the cupboard wasn't picked up and they forgot to mention it. It's no biggie really...i'd just have left my dogs with a no food day...but my dogs get that occasionally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Anne~ Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 It's no biggie really...i'd just have left my dogs with a no food day...but my dogs get that occasionally. When looking at the broader sense of animal care it probably isn't a biggie as you say...unless it hapened on a regular basis I suppose. I know people don't like comparisons between humans and dogs but, to me, I plan ahead so that I have sufficient food for my children and I do the same with my animals. I certainly know when I am getting close to the bottom of the cookie jar so to speak and I will plan to make sure I have something to offer.

Poodle wrangler Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Mr PW reckons the dogs are better fed than he is. I say if he ate only raw or packaged food, I'd feed him better, too . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's no biggie really...i'd just have left my dogs with a no food day...but my dogs get that occasionally. Could be in the same situation as myself, we buy our food in bulk, three different foods and 40kg's at a time. The pups are on a certain brand of food, we brought two big bags on a weekend and brought it home. I knew that the dog food would run out sometime that week. I open up the brand new bulk bags to find them both full of dead maggots and other very disgusting stuff. Who could have planned for that. Then the only stockist has no more on the shelf, no one within a two hour drive stocks it and the replacement from the company took nealry three weeks to be delievered. I could never have anticipated that happening but it did and I had to change biscuit that I was feeding. I'd find some mince or whatever meat is in the freezer, add some vegies to it a hard boiled egg or some sardines. I would never hear the end of it , if I let mine starve, i know it's three in the arvo by the screaming demands for dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My kids say the same things LOL They beleive they would be feed better if they where dogs I have run out of food occasionally, Jewel is on Eagle Pack Anchovy, it is hard to get. I just brought 2 40kg bags to stock up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaz Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Wow... I'm kind of........... astounded............ that someone would not plan ahead and could 'run out of food' for their pets. :shakehead: Yep I can! But that's when I raid the freezer On various occasions mine have had sausages, rump steak, chicken breast, roast beef, Inghams medallions, and there is alway rice and pasta in the pantry and bags of frozen veges at the back of the freezer. Once I even had to race out for the large tub of KFC. (shops had all closed by then) My dogs love me when I run out of food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blacklabrador Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 I think humans probably have this situation with their kids quite often. Except that the solution is called "Pizza, Mc Donalds or Subway" etc I remember having to whip up an egg and adding some grated cheese for my cat one night when I was run off my feet studying and working shift work full time. He thought it was brilliant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Anne~ Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Except that the solution is called "Pizza, Mc Donalds or Subway" etc Perhaps I am just more organised then most ... I never resorted to this either with my children. I just planned ahead... when I use up the last thing and I know I need some for dinner the next day (be it for humans or animals) I purchase more.
