Meaty Bones






The first day of raw meaty bones for dinner which consisted of half a chicken carcass. Gemma took to it very enthusiastically. She didn't like it in her bowl so I had to put it on the floor. We will need to sort out an eating area rather than just the bowl. I have read that raw food diets can be a bit messy. There was definitely no mess left over! She sniffed and sniffed afterwards to see if there was anything she had missed. Then just to be safe she gave the floor a lick. I purchased 7 chicken carcasses and 3 containers of frozen crushed fruit/vege mix for just over £3. This is so much cheaper than commercial food. Apparently for small dogs the raw food diet is cheaper but probably not so for larger dogs. She will have the chicken carcasses for a couple of weeks then I'll go back to Nurturing by Nature to discuss other types of bones that we could give her as part of a varied diet.
