A pitcture of the new addition to the family Apollo and his mum.

I have been warned off whole fish because of its high mecury levels. Not sure if that is correct or not. I think I with feed them two eegs a week and 1-2 tins of sardines a week. Do people get them in oil or water?

Just expanding on different raw foods I am feeding my two girls. How often should I feed sardines and eggs?

They do. They are on the bags and on the website. INGREDIENTS Uncle Alber's is formulated from a selection of the following ingredients. Cooked meat or meat by-products derived from beef, lamb, poultry or pork. Cooked fish or fish by-products. Fat, cooked cereals and wheaten bran. Products derived from canola and soyabeans. Lysine, methionine, antioxidant, bentonite, vitamins and minerals. Vitamins: A, D3, E, K, B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B6 (pyridoxine), B12, niacin, pantothenate, folic acid and biotin. Minerals: Calcium, phosphorus, sodium, chloride, cobalt, copper, iodine, iron, manganese, selenium and zinc I suppose I should clarify that what I mean is there seems to be some ambiguity with the ingredients. Cooked meat or meat by-products derived from beef, lamb, poultry or pork, Cooked fish or fish by-products and Products (which ones) derived from canola and soyabeans.

Thanks rotts4ever. I am at St Clair so this place might be the go. Just so I have it right if you want fames and necks then it is best to call the before hand? Are the open on weekends?

No corn? What then is corn gluten meal? And tallow? Following is the ingredients list off the website for the food I feed my dogs. Maybe I'm having eye problems but I still can't see corn (gluten meal or otherwise) or tallow? ADULT LAMB AND RICE A premium quality dry food being used by breeders/exhibitors and pet owners with outstanding results. PROTEIN MIN 22% - FAT MIN 12% - FIBRE MAX 4.5% - ASH MAX 11% - PHOSPHOROUS MAX 1.5% - CALCIUM MIN 1.45% - MOISTURE MAX 10% Lamb Meal, Ground Brown Rice, Ground Oats, Rice Bran, Flaxseed, Chicken Fat (preserved with Mixed Tocopherols and Ascorbyl Palmitate), Brewers Dried Yeast, Lecithin, Natural Lamb Flavour, Dried Carrots, Dried Kelp, Choline Chloride, Calcium Ascorbate (source of Vitamin C), Zinc Amino Acid Chelate, Yucca Schidigera Extract, Dried Blueberries, Dandelion, Peppermint, Rosemary.

So what’s that general consensus on this food? I feed half kibble half raw and I would love to use a quality Australian made food? I have look at Uncle Albers and Great Barko but am concerned that they don’t actually list their ingredients.

Thanks for the welcome. I cant work out how to make the pics small enough to upload talk about computer illiterate. Thanks Melbomb I will.

Thanks for the replies I'll canvass some of the local butchers.

I am sure that this has been done before but I have done a search and couldnt find anything. Where do people on the forum buy their chicken frames, necks and mince from out in the Western Suburbs of Sydney near Penrith?

Hi All, I have been a reader of the forums for a while but never really posted. We have had a few heart breaks in our family in the last two years but things are looking much brighter and though I might share the story with you. Sorry for the length. Nearly two years ago our rescue Boxer girl, Connie, swallowed a bone at a relative’s house which lodged in her oesophagus. Connie had major surgery to remove the bone and we nursed her back to health over a period of months where she was given little chance of survival. Our strong girl Connie pulled through much to our vets surprise but not ours. Connie has lost a little of her youthful zip but she is still with us. About a year ago we lost our beloved Boxer boy, Atlas, to stomach cancer. All avenues were exhausted over a lengthy period however Atlas lost his battle during an operation to remove the tumour. It has taken our family a long long time to get over losing Atlas and I miss him everyday. Since that time we added a little Jack Russell girl, Zahra, who keeps up on our toes. Anyhow we decided to start looking at getting another Boxer. In the last fortnight we have meet two rescue boys, one who was spoken for when we arrived and unfortunately the second didn't work out. This morning we meet the breeders who we got Atlas from. They had a litter of a little over six week old Boxers. Our hearts were stolen by a bindle bobtail boy who looked much like Atlas. Long story short we promptly decided that, the now named Apollo, is the boy for us. If I could work out how to get pictures on here I will post some. I'm looking forward to spending more time on the forums. Sorry again for the length.
