tomas Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 (edited) hmmmm ok i thought the Krill oil already has the vitamin E in it???I am thinking of adding salmon fish oil capsules as well along with the krill oil for financial reasons Do I add extra Vitamin E then? Or are there salmon fish oil capsules with Vitamin E already in them?? Tomas those links are from USA, I can't see an australian shop to buy them from If you feed liver and eggs an as alternate with your meals and include fish oil,those foods have E in them so you don't necessarily need a fish oil that contains E.... Krill IS expensive,I alternate between that and the Nordic Naturals Omega Pet. You could have found stockists of Coromega and Nordic Naturals in Australia ON those sites I listed,anyway I did it for you Coromega stockists can be found by emailing here NEW ZEALAND & AUSTRALIA [email protected] [email protected] Nordic naturals can be found here BioConcepts Pty.

oonga Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Thanks for that Tomas Yes I feed the ratio 5% liver and 5% kidney (still sourcing other forms of offal to replace the kidney) mixed in with red meat most days. I also feed the ready made BARF Patties twice a week and these have liver and eggs in them as well. I then give her at least 1 egg a week mostly 2 eggs a week, rarely 3 times a week, depending on how i remember. I just put the egg outside for her and she breaks it open etc... She tends to leave the shell behind but i would suspect the Vitamin E is in the egg or white not the shell? I know the shell is a great source of calcium but she gets it her RMBs as well Does that sound about enough vitamin E for the fish oil factor to you?

oceanaussi Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Ok, I've been feeding my 'home-made' BARF for nearly 3 weeks now and have to say, I'm impressed. Their coat is soft and shiny, they're active and happy, the stool is good and of course they love it!!! So I am going to continue. After following all those discussions on here, I decided to feed the home-made BARF and the BARF rolls alternating. I prefer to feed veggies and I decided instead of pre-preparing everything, they'll get whatever I or the birds have as well. What kind of food processors do you guys have?

I mean you have the dogs coat and eyes and energy levels to go on as your guide If you are feeding at least 10 % edible bone I would'nt worry about the egg shell,however when my guys get just a meaty meat meal ,no bone,which is every second day,I usually include a little ground meat or chop some finely and break the egg for them and crush the shell in that,that way they eat the shell. Most raw feeders do not have a problem feeding enough bone,but feeding about 80% meat is a struggle sometimes.... I hope you try the Coromega sachets for yourself,I LOVE the stuff,just had 2 Orange ones actually, NO fishy burps and makes taking fish fun,I mean you can squeeze it on a yoghurt as a topping or take it straight.

I would contact the comany that makes your brand of processor as usually they don't change the attachments much between models - more so the look/exterior to a more modern looking machine - so perhaps they will sell you that attachment. The knife is great for mincing kidneys and livers but use the shredding attachment for veg! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tru Borders Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 So I've been meaning to post this for a few weeks now but was worried you would all tell me I was being silly .... so here goes. I feed BARF only and have done for about 6 months now. After reading many posts from other threads I decided to give offal a go. We had fed tongue before (muscle) and heart with no worries. About 2 months after feeding offal maybe once a week Nooki got worms. My 2 had never had worms before and are/were regularly wormed. I haven't fed offal or muscle meat since. Nooki hasn't had a re-occurrence of worms either. Coincidence?? Anyone had this happen? Anyone think im nuts? Discuss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tru Borders Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 and another thing Can you please add to this list what you feed, RMB and Muscle Meat, Offal, Veggies, other meats and Barf Brand Please add and repost (without quoting) with what you feed. I think this will be a helpful resource to all of us. Once it is finished maybe we could add it to the OP as a starting reference, instead of having to find the bloody page all the time!

They were Tapeworms corvus. Got rid of them with 2 doses of worming tabs (10 days in between). Could have come from any Host (dog, cat, cow, sheep, rabbit, etc) just so happened to be feeding Offal. It could be purely co-incidental, but even my Vet said Offal first before I even mentioned it. But, who knows. Its that old once bitten twice shy cliche you know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
