Species Appropriate Diets For Dogs

[OutOfThisWorld]

Hi all....

This topic is generally aimed at people in the Chiang Mai area.

Firstly, I have just obtained a young female Lab. After a number or years experience with dogs i feed them a species appropriate diet: i.e. a mixture of raw meat, muscle and organ; raw bones; and small amounts of vegs, and other nutritional extras.

Well, does anyone know where I might be able to find appropriate raw bones in the Chiang Mai area. The best are chicken necks (given I haven't seen any turkeys) followed by chicken wings and legs. I think I know where to get legs and wings but necks.........not sure. Anyone have advice where we could find any? Especially if they're organic.

Plus any opinions on dog diets would be fun so please join in......what do people think of species appropriate diets and the whole commercial world of dog food?.....

Secondly, after having obtained this pup....I've just found out I have to go to Singapore for six days...... Not happy because I previously thought i wouldn't be going anywhere this year or else i wouldn't have got the pup......but that's the situation.... Anyone know of any really good (and i mean really good kennels in the Chiang Mai area or is anyone looking to establish small group of animal owners who are willing to look after each others dogs for a few days on the odd occasion.....

Please let me know............

Hi there,

Haven't been able to check mail in the last couple of days. So saw this mail just now.

On the raw feeding of your dog, you can read more info on this forum's 2nd or 3rd page under 'humane killer'. You can also visit my website www.luckydogs.info. Under 'articles' you can find a file on the raw food diet or BARF (Bones And Raw Food).

On this website you can also read more info on boarding and training dogs.

With friendly greetings, Nienke

Bummer, I'm too quick with clicking ...

For several years I feed my dogs (and some of the customers dogs) raw food.

Ingredients you can buy on the local markets:

chicken (necks, feet, organs, etc.)

pork (spinal cord, organ meat etc)

buffalo (tripes, organs and recreational bones)

All sorts of veggies and fruit and, very recommendable: kati or grained coconut meat

WIth friendly greetings, Nienke
