rish Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Speaking of dog treat's,what would /do you all feed your pet's with ? We use the "love em" liver/chicken bit's,i did try the "greenies" but they hated it. I also seem to go through alot of the dog bone chew's (you know the big 1s that are made for chewing on) Leigh has this week lost about 3 teeth,so something to chew on really saved the dining tables legs !. Also what do you think of raw chicken neck's ? I get raw bones 1c weekly as well. And does anybody have a idea on how to stop bad breath ? (apart from the tooth-brush ),i though that if they had healthy food,it wouldn't be a problem ? and Leigh's rear end the smell is a killer !

bobchic Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 When I was fostering a Kelpie cross Staffie a few years back, I froze some of his wet food (1-2 table spoons) in an ice cream container with water. he loved these and would play with them and eat them. If your dog is an inside dog Im not sure what else you can do... Chicken necks frozen may also help the chewing and provide a yummy treat. Good Luck!!

mademoisellemika Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 I give my girl raw bite size carrots and Yip Yaps - http://www.ozpetshop.com.au/product_info.p...roducts_id/1025 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kajtek Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 (edited) We give our girls lamb necks once a week. Keeps their pearly whites clean, their breath fresh and they have loads of fun. I'd consider changing his diet. Edited March 21, 2009 by Anna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puggy_puggy Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Sounds like Leigh needs her anal glands emptied. I would steer away from processed chews as they are full of preservatives. Bones and even lumps of vegtables such as carrot are a much better alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APBT Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I buy a few kilos of chicken liver and put them in the dehydrator, alot cheaper then the store bought liver and free of and preservatives ect. i pay $1.70 a kilo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only ever paid about $5 - $7 a kg. Raw meaty bones are good for the teeth & breath. Also may need the anal glands expressed. RMB will also harden the motions & naturally clear the anal glands.

huski Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 For treats I feed boiled chicken, any left over bits of meat we have cut into small pieces, kabana/sausage, occasionally the 4legs dog food cut into halves etc. But for teeth I just make sure I feed lots of raw meaty bones, chicken frames/wings, lamb necks etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeJane Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 For treats, I give my dog raw bones and dehydrated chicken breats fillet (make them hard and chewy) Don't give your dog raw hide/animal skin chewy, my dog kept throwing up after eating them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnucklesDutchnUs Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 (edited) If you are offended by the smell from Leigh's behind I would suggest get him/her on a stable diet, a premium kibble or BARF ( though I don't know enough about it to guide you there are plenty of threads on it if you search.) It's my opinion that you shouldn't be feeding them enough treats that it affects their farts. Although if I feed Knuckles beef bones an hour later she can strip wallpaper. She now gets turkey knecks instead. Edit: I am assuming the rear end smell you are talking about is farts. If not I would suggest you take on board peoples comments on anal glands.

Danois Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I did not think that you were supposed to give greenies to puppies? If the smell from her bum is metallicy/ fishy then it sounds like anal glands. If it is really bad breath then you should see your vet to ensure nothing going on in mouth like gum disease, teeth issues etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
becks Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Teething pups do sometimes get smelly breath which goes after they have all the old teeth out. Rear end smells, do you mean windy problems of a smell at her rear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
