Norskgra Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 (edited) One of my girls can not eat any chicken fat. We can't give her chicken wings or chicken mince and when we give her chicken frames or necks, we have to take all of the fat off them otherwise it goes straight through her. She can't eat kangaroo either for the same reason. She is fed a mainly dry diet but I do like to give her meat, vegs, fish, yoghurt etc with her dry. Does any one have any suggestions on lean meats I could feed her apart from beef. Edited February 19, 2008 by Norskgra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tess32 Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Rabbit? I think it's pricey though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norskgra Posted February 19, 2008 Author Share Posted February 19, 2008 Rabbit? I think it's pricey though. I will try to find some rabbit. The price doesn't worry me. We are pretty sure she is in whelp so anything that will make her happy and keep her eating is worth any amount of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormie Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I thought kangaroo was one of the leanest meats around with barely any fat in the actual meat itself? Or is it the kangaroo meat that goes straight through? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norskgra Posted February 19, 2008 Author Share Posted February 19, 2008 kangaroo is very lean!!turkey? rabbit? For some reason kangaroo just goes straight through her. Turkey is the same as chicken with her and we have to remove every bit of fat before we give it to her. I will try to find some rabbit and see if that is any better.

Guest Tess32 Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Mine can't take roo either. I've heard Rabbit is one of the leanest and best meats you can feed a dog Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poodlefan Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Mine aren't crazy about Roo either. I'd recommend rabbit if you can get it - preferably wild shot, not farmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormie Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I have been looking up rabbit myself lately and have found a couple of places that stock it... http://www.homebutcher.com.au - they have wild and farmed http://www.butcherman.com.au - guessing by the price this is farmed... both deliver!

I just rang a butcher near me and they have both wild and farmed rabbits, so I will get her a couple of wild ones to try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See if you can get them skin on.. .dogs love doing their own unwrapping!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wild ones are half the price of the farmed ones. I didn't ask if they were still wrapped or not but I will find out when I go there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might be able to order some wrapped ones though. Bunnies are great teeth cleaners.. especially with an Elkhound on either end. The fur is the best fibre out for keep dogs [coughs] regular.

She won't be sharing it with any of the others. That is the only time we have problems with them all is when there are bones involved. Luckily our other Elkhounds can eat anything. They are all regular. Edited February 19, 2008 by Norskgra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t-time Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Dare I say it Norskgra..... VENISON! :p :p You know me.... Seriously venison is low in fat as well - suprised about the kangaroo factor but there you go - all dogs are different. Crocodile and emu are also incredibly low in fat and full of the good oils but I don't like your chances of finding those Good luck with your girly!

I should have known what you would suggest. :p Just one thing, Elkhounds never attacked the moose, they just located them and barked to alert the hunter of the whereabouts of the prey. I will see if I can find some venison somewhere for her though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gayle. Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Of the more conventional meats, veal is very lean and easily available (although possibly expensive, but might be good for a change). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
