My little doggy was kinda spoilt, she passed last year but when she was with us (for 14 1/2) she got a mix over the years. early on it was things like liver, heart and egg. Then in the later years.. a mix of mostly mince with chopped sausages, ,chopped liver, diced bacon (fat drained after cooking), a cup or two of brown rice, whole carrot and a bunch of spinach.. also usually other meats that I can't remember the names of I'd cook it all up in gravy and freeze bulk icecream containers.  :embarrassed:

Im not even gonna attempt to list what my dog gets lol.
Hes extreamly spoilt and especially by my mother.

Other than the treats and what ever else we give him he usually eats wag lol, dog treats, sausages and other things.

My guinea pigs also get wag (guinea pig kind not dog kind!), carrot, cucumber and hay =]
Even though they like chewing my hoodys i dont think that counts.

My spoilt kitty cat loves freshly cooked chicken and prawns. Will eat tinned tuna and other seafood if that is all that is on offer.

Interesting. I'm thinking about getting a husky when I move out and have sufficient funds, but it's been so long since I've had a pet that sheds. Think there's anything to it for dogs or is it just the natural course of things for something as fluffy as that?
Some breeds shed more than others, but regular combing and a "GOOD" diet can reduce the shedding within a breed too.

I don't want a husky myself due to the need to keep alpha position more firmly with 'em and with my body issues, I doubt I can keep up.

My cats are one of my obsessions.  I have a girl cat called Casimira and a lil ftm boy cat called Scout (seriously. this cat is not a girl. he was out before me.)

I feed them purina one during the day and then for their evening meal they have either this bougie organic wet food, regular supermarket fishy food or fatty mince.  The mince is great, they love it and the fat makes their coats nice and shiny.  I was given that tip by a cat breeder, he said go for the fattiest stuff.  Sometimes I buy em a bit of stinky cheap fish and feed that to em.
Cassie has the screechiest croaky meow so it's always hilarious at dins.

Danke the dog is fed mostly raw meaty bones; predominantly chicken, turkey, bison and venison.
Occasionally she gets lamb or pork.

The other 10% of her diet consists of organ meat [mostly from the aforementioned animals] and is occasionally supplemented with The Honest Kitchen dehydrated [I prefer the Force and Thrive varieties] when we travel.

She gets Vitamin E and Salmon Oil daily, since almost none of her food was grass-fed during its life.

Oh yes, my dog loves bacon also... So I give him "Snausages Breakfast Bites" (Bacon & Eggs flavor)
for "good doggy" treats

prey model raw for both my cats and my dogs unless on vacation

then they get California Naturals brand food cuz a whole deer is hard to take on freakin vacation lol

Hauser, check out The Honest Kitchen dehydrated raw.
Its even easier to travel with, because it weighs significantly less than kibble, takes up less room, etc.

Its also nice to have on hand [it'll store in a dry place for ages] for those odd times when you run out of food before the next butcher shop run.

the nutrient ratios are off for my special needs babies. I do buy it as a topper for the cali naturals because it doesnt affect the right balance and entices my raw pooches to eat the kibble...

Id prefer never to have to feed them commercial food ever again lol..but i do the best i can

Too much, apparently. He's getting older, and his metabolism is slowing down. Now I'm experimenting with smaller portions and "lite" food.

Gee, I thought people who didn't like you were full of...uh, something that isn't good to eat. :laugh:

If you feed kibble, please make sure to not do it on the same day as a raw feeding.

Colitis is painful, expensive, and potentially lethal.
