Feeding Game Bird Parts to your Pup
Posted by admin on Monday, February 1st, 2010
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.

j0hnxjxramboon 01 Feb 2010 at 8:38 am 2like 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.

DLRBon 01 Feb 2010 at 9:07 am 4What 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?

JudiBatton 01 Feb 2010 at 10:19 am 6This 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!
noodlechild666on 01 Feb 2010 at 10:50 am 7Theres 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.
UplandIdahoon 01 Feb 2010 at 11:35 am 8I 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.
scarfaceXtcon 01 Feb 2010 at 12:13 pm 9Hi 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
gnrlies1on 01 Feb 2010 at 1:12 pm 10I feed my GS/Husky Raw and have seen a big turn around in their coats, no itching/scratching, energy level is higher, and they love their raw chicken (yes, with the bones). Their teeth are white & clean as well.

JasmineRodriguez9on 01 Feb 2010 at 2:01 pm 12well,i’m not sure.but,i won’t be fedding my puppy any raw aniamls like that.she eats regular dog food.but,i guess i’ll try.but,i have to ask my mom to by chicken leg parts from wal mart!but,enteresting video!
UplandIdahoon 01 Feb 2010 at 2:48 pm 13yep…a hunter would be a good source for meat. There are also a fair number of bird breeders that you might get carcasses from. If there is a local hunting dog club you can get the carcasses of the training birds they use.
bettiepagestyleon 01 Feb 2010 at 3:27 pm 14I’ve started feeding raw meaty bones & carcass to my foster pit bull terrier. I’m using primarily rabbit/poultry from local farms or the organic co op and cost sure gets high, maybe I should hook up w/a hunter for the left overs. I’d like to use venison.
UplandIdahoon 01 Feb 2010 at 3:44 pm 15The rule of the F’s probably had a reason way back when but no longer applies. Feed as much raw as possible.
ppaauull71on 01 Feb 2010 at 4:39 pm 16PS. Shore dogs are sprung from the wild but man has messed with them fore many generations, some more then others. So one shod be a bit careful. DS.
ppaauull71on 01 Feb 2010 at 5:17 pm 17Your right raw meet is the best! Every autumn I feed my birddogs raw moose mixed whit ordinary dry dog food, almost every day as I also hunt moose. It’s the only whey to keep them in great shape al hunting season!! Her in Sweden theirs a saying that one shodent feed dogs meat beginning whit “F”(because of their bones splinter sharp?) the Swedish words fore : sheep, fish & bird begins with a F, probably wrong. Il start feeding my dogs birdrests now. Thanks
RayvenMoon84on 01 Feb 2010 at 5:18 pm 18Dark- Since WHEN? Tell me raw meat suddenly became bad for dog?
one – dogs not humans therefore dogs can digest raw meat a 100% better than they can kibble Kibble sits in a dogs stomach for up to 8 hours because most of it is indigestible.
two – only cooked bones splinter, heat damages the integrity of bones. Take a bone in chicken breast and remove one of the ribs. Compared to a cooked bones it is much more flexible and softer.
The only bones a dogs shouldn’t get are cooked and weight bearing
delightracardeanneon 01 Feb 2010 at 5:37 pm 19PLUS, you can tell all idiots that dogs were WILD before they were domesticated by humans. And what the hell do you think they ate?? Well, I know one thing’s for sure, there wasn’t a bag of dog food sitting out for them out there in the wild.
UplandIdahoon 01 Feb 2010 at 6:18 pm 20Hasn’t been a problem for any of my dogs. The dogs learn the difference. Feeding time is feeding time and retreiving is retreiving. I would believe that there could be dogs that won’t seperate but those in my experience are few and far between.
frowndownon 01 Feb 2010 at 6:21 pm 21I dont have any scientific data that says thats bad for them but I have trained several dozens of dogs and the first time your dog lays down to eat the bird instead of retreiving it you will realize what you have done.
UplandIdahoon 01 Feb 2010 at 7:04 pm 22Actually you are incorrect…or just trying to stir the pot. You need to talk with a Vet. and get the correct information. Bones are a natural part of a dogs diet…read below…they only splinter if they are cooked. Raw is the best diet…period!
darkendbites2000on 01 Feb 2010 at 7:55 pm 23ok what is wrong with you people!!! First of all raw meat is bad for dogs and second fowl(which is what that dog is eating) is extremely bad bird bones splinter in a dogs stomach. And its just sick

westphalianprinzon 01 Feb 2010 at 8:48 pm 25Our dogs always got the “spare parts” from our game meats and our butchered meats as well.
