Natural Instinct - lamb's neck question
« on: April 12, 2010, 03:51:57 PM »
William and Louis have Burns kibble in the mornings and Natural Instinct Chicken & Lamb in the evenings and are both thriving on it and enjoying it. About once a week they have a couple of raw chicken wings to crunch on instead of the NI.

When I bought my first lot of NI I also ordered 2 lamb's necks and they're still sitting in the freezer. They each weigh about 560gms, which is the equivalent of nearly 4 meals of the NI. If I thaw a lamb's neck out, is it possible/easy/safe for the dogs to break or cut it up into smaller portions? Has anyone else fed them?

I don't want to waste them but my butchery skills are very limited and I'm also a bit squeamish about handling raw meat if it looks like a bit of an animal (IYSWIM) and I'm a bit worried what the necks will look like when they're out of their packaging and thawed out  ph34r

Any advice or experience please :D

I gave Monty a whole one,cos  he's a big lad.

You can chop them in half. I wasn't keen on the bones in them though. when he chewed it he had a lump of bone which I thought might choke him if he swallowed it. He was OK though,

I get them from the butchers now and have been cooking them in the slow cooker with veg for a treat. I think they are expensive for what they are. I just stick with the lamb ribs and chicken wings for bone meals.
