ShesaLikeableBiBear Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Have you tried using the search feature in these forums?, by doing so you will come across the ingredients list for satin balls You will probably find that it is the hamburger/chicken mince.

Teebs Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Can i hijack? Are Satin balls the best way to put weight on a dog fast? Not sure if i should up her food, or just get some of these and feed them instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if i should up her food, or just get some of these and feed them instead. They are indeed a fast way to put weight on - you just make them up in a mix and roll them into balls fridge/freeze and off you go Noticible difference within days I thinkn sausage mince is the fattiest...could depend on the recipe?

Teebs Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 cool. Will head to butcher tomorrow and get fatty meat, and grab the rest of the stuff when i go real shopping tomorrow afternoon. Another stupid question - are they something you can use long term? I could give her one a day to help keep weight on? or are they too fatty for that and could make them sick with long term use?

Danois Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Satin balls should be used wisely. My vet was not overly impressed by the ingredients list due to the richness of them which could cause upset stomach/ diaorreha etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teebs Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Thats what i was thinking Danois. thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danois Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 TB - I would be worried about pancreatitis in the long term. Personally I would feed lamb flaps and chicken carcasses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teebs Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 that is what i think i am going to do - Easier for me as well, i dont cook for me, as if i want to do it for the dogs! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anniek Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Cream there is NO cream in Satin Balls if there was then wouldnt be feeding cream to my dogs :D from the Vic GAP website Satin Balls These are very high in fat so need to be fed with care, but most greyhounds do cope with a lot of fat with no problems. 2kg mince 8oz packet cream cheese 400g jar peanut butter 1 small jar wheatjerm 1 doz egg yolks (not whites) 1 cup flaked oats soaked in cream Mix all the above and form into burger sized patties. Freeze. Add half a burger to each meal to start with, working up to a full patty (in addition to your normal food) twice daily. Make smaller sized patties for smaller dogs. I have never made/used them, but I knew I had seen cream as an ingredient somewhere annieK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
