And what about chicks` heads? Nobody wrote about them, but they are such a treat. It`s OK to give them to GSDs, isn`t it?

I gave my 2 raw chicken for the first time a couple of weeks ago, my girl didn't blink an eye, crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch...gone! My boy...he had a problem. He looked at it, looked at me, looked at it, licked it, looked at me...I thought he was going to ask me to do CPR on it for a minute! When he finally decided to eat it, (after Kalie offered to 'help' him with it), he took little tiny baby nibbles & crunches until it was gone. He's still not too keen on the raw food thing, he'd rather eat kibble. One thing he does like is liver, any kind. Just call my house jackie's canine cafe....order up! jh

Funny how they all react differently to the raw.  I feed mostly kibble with some a raw beef mix that a client makes at home.

My male likes his beef and does better on that than on the chicken.

My girls don't care either way.  Wish I could get back to doing an all raw diet again at some point.

rus - yes, chicken heads are just fine.  So are the chicken feet.  Mine loved them.  I treat them both as RMB's in the diet, but my late dogs (Giza will, too) loved them as treats and often stood around in the kitchen like trained seals waiting for me to toss one to them when I was packaging meals. 

Kalibeck:  hehehe.  CPR.  Canine Cafe.  Ok, all kidding aside, if he's taking it in small nibbles and small pieces I would be thrilled!  The last thing you want is a gulper or one that doesn't chew!  If you want him to eat it a little faster, sear his chicken quarter, leg, thigh or wing in a hot pan with a touch of olive oil.  Now, only sear it fast on each side or only one side.  Very fast and very little color.  You don't want to "cook" it.  Remove.  Allow to cool before feeding.  You might only have to do this twice, but I doubt you'll have a problem with "nibbling" again.

I think it's just his style...we had shrimp the other night, & Kalie adores shrimp,so since she was having a couple with her dinner, I tried Beckett with one; he toted it around the house, put it down to sniff it a 1/2 dozen times, long story short, it took him 30 minutes to eat 1 shrimp. I had to threaten to take it away before he got serious about it. And this is a dog who would run THROUGH you to get to his dinner dish; +++++food drive! Eats anything he's not supposed to! I will try searing the chicken, I really think he just doesn't know what to make of it. Is this a toy? Is this a critter? Huh? Thanks! jackie harris

 Off topic.... Someone on the board in another thread talked about using pumpkin with there raw food. I tried it and they loved it. They said it helped with diarrhea and constipation. Never had them constipated but they would get the runs from time to time. It has helped so far. Thank you!

LOL Jackie!  He's probably wondering why it doesn't smell like yours - after yours is cooked, that is.  He's got a more "sophisticated" palate.  ROFL!  What a character.  Scrapper used to do that.  At times I swore he was just "nursing" it until everyone else was done so that they could listen to him "crunching" in his crate long after they were done eating.  I'd tried searing, smearing with a bit of plain yogurt....he still did it.  I finally just started giving him 30 minutes to finish.  Whatever he hadn't finished was taken up, refrigerated, and fed in the morning.  He eventually did get somewhat better about it, but I still think he enjoyed "taunting" the others with his crunching.  It should be mentioned that he could really be a shit-disturber when he wanted to be, which was more often than not.

Angela:  True about the pumpkin.  I keep a few cans on hand in the pantry and have used it for both constipation and diahrrea with great results on the few occasions I've needed to.

Dogs do not chew.

 

they are not equipped to chew.

 

Their jaws do not move from side to side, neither do they have flat molars like animals (herbivores) or omnivores that are designed to chew do.

 

They rip, tear, slice, crunch but they do not chew.
