OKay, I just decided to switch Buster to completley raw, I'll keep a small packet of Orijen for emergencies and treat balls in the cupboard but other than that I'd like to try him on just meat for a while and a few vegies here and there maybe.
Timing worked out well because mum and I had an argument and she told me I could buy all his food from now on, which suits me fine
So he's doing well, he's really not mad on chicken frames but he likes necks and he's a good chewer so I'm find with that and wings and stuff, I have some beef trim aswell and I got some ox liver from the butcher.
Now I've discovered he's so not into raw offal, not in the slightest. Won't touch it, he's picky enough as it is. Does cooking it make it loose some of its benefits? We used to cook it into their mince/vegies/pasta mix but I'd rather skip cooking it if thats better.
I've cut some up small for him toniught and mixed it in with his trim (and an entire rump steak someone didn't eat at work last night so I stole and brought home ) and I'll see if he'll eat it if I sneak it in.
Our butcher also sells chicken pet mince, its just mince frames and chicken heart/liver. He ate t one night than wouldn't touch it again for days after that till I gave it to Sophie, so getting his offal that way is kinda out I guess. Plus I'm not mad on giving him mince because I don't know exactly whats in it.
Anyone have dogs that just don't like offal? How do you get around it? He's pretty picky about everything he eats, I only had chicken frames for him for 2 nights last week and he just wouldn't eat most of it and he ended up getting potato mash and low quality kibble for dinner because thats all I have (which he loved by the way)
