Another BARF thread...!
« on: April 17, 2007, 11:26:40 AM »
I know there have been loads lately but could a BARF cocker mummy help me out... :huh:

Poppy is on JWB for breakfast and tea.
I've been thinking about giving her chicken wings for a while now.
To start off with should I replace her tea a couple of times a week with 2 chicken wings, would 2 be enough to replace a meal... :huh:

At the moment she gets a raw egg / pilchards (alternate days) mixed in with her tea.

Depends on the size of the dog.  :D

My boys weigh around 15kg and have 3 wings if they are a good size, or 4 or 5 if they are a bit on the small side.

Some people weigh their food; some people don't.  :-\ It's whatever works for the individual.  ;) I weighed everything to begin with as I wanted to make sure I got it right.  ph34r Now I can pretty much go by eye. Mine have around 250grams of chicken wings for a meal, which is usually 3.  :D

When I changed Fern to BARF six months ago, I bit the bullet and changed her straight over in one go. One day it was tinned dog food and mixer, the next day it was  about 150-200g raw AMP mince and whizzed veggies with two chicken wings for pud. I only feed once a day. She weighed just under 12Kg and weighs about 14Kg now.

Poppy's had her first chicken wings... :lol:

She played with the first one for over half an hour, running round and throwing it up before she ate it, played with the second one for a few minutes to, the third one stayed buried for 20 mins before she dug it back up to eat!
