Feeding Game Bird Parts to your Pup

I grew up being told to use what I harvest. I only throw out the heads, guts and legs of upland game birds. I eat the breast meat, feed the carcasses to my pup, trade feathers for fly fishing flies and make tailfans. This video is about the feeding the carcasses of game birds to your dog. This is a short clip of Z eating some chukar legs. Many people I talk to are deeply concerned with feeding raw food diets to their dogs, especially food with bone. Raw food diets are far superior in nutritional value to can or bagged dog food.

Bones are really only an issue when they are cooked. Once cooked they are stiff and they splinter. Raw bones are safe for dogs when you are concerned about choking. The only issue I've run into is if the dog swallows larger chunks of bone they have to regurgitate them again.

This is awesome to see. I feed my Great Dane pup and my pug a raw/prey diet and they are healthy, happy and mentally stable pups! I have the videos posted on here but get 2-3 NASTY comments a day about how I feed. I wish people would learn a little before judging. This is REAL dog food- Great Job!

I'm not getting very many nasty replies. Anyone who does is just uninformed.

Hi im just looking into feeding my golden retriever raw foods and i got a question.After feeding the dog chicken raw do you have to brush the teeth because of the samonela?And when feeding how do you know which days to give what foods?Or do you just feed chicken every day with some liver on occasion? Thanks

I wouldn't feed chicken everyday. Switch it up with a hamburger/vegetable mix. I feed chicken one meal and then red meat the other meal and the red meat has veggies and supplements in it.

As far as samonela, it's not a worry with dogs. My dogs will eat some pretty racid stuff without any issues.

I fed my GSD's cooked chicken bones for five years (wings and legs) and not once did they have any problems. It also made their teeth healthy.

But cant the bones get stuck in thier throat just like chicken bones?

like i told the other person, what do you think those canines are for? tigers, lions, wolves, etc. all have canines and they all eat meat. you were born at the wrong time. if you were born centries ago. all dogs would still be eating raw meat.

What about parasites, can a dog get parasites from eating raw food? Eating bones from a bird, do they digest properly, what about the bones splintering and causing problems?

Theres nothing wrong with feeding a natural diet, aslong as an owner makes sure that the animal is getting all the correct nutrients. You cant feed just meat,as its lacking in a lot of the vitamins and minerals dogs needs. You need to feed it along side internal organs, and a variety of other things to get the balance right.

That said i USED to feed mine the BARF diet, but after an emergency op to remove a blockage and 4 broken teeth, i gave up as it wasnt worth the risk to my dogs.
