poodlefan Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Apple pips contains very small amounts of arsenic. Yep, and they would need to be chewed to release it. Generally the seeds pass through whole so it's very unlikely the seeds would every cause a problem, unless of course you just fed seeds as the sole diet! If they seeds pass through a juicer, they don't remain whole. I cut the cores out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Midol Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I don't juice or pulp anything, so the risk is low. I just didn't think he'd like cores Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBen Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Today I found some duck heads... Would they be suitable to feed - not as a meal, but as an addition to a meal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilderblu Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 My vet adviced 10% chicken mince to the dry. I have 8 dogs and feed them supercoat. They go through 1 bag in about 10-12 days. ($44 for 18kgs) I stir through about 1.2 kilos of chicken mince (the carcass type) to about 2/3 a normal 10 litre bucket and dish out that into seperate bowls. Some that are a bit younger I give more too or if they are in whelp or feeding and some of the older ones that are a bit heavy I give less. They are all in great condition and happy active dogs. I used to feed them Working Dog Cobber but found them putting on weight to easy. How often do you go through a Cobber bag? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huga Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Duck heads hey? Where the hell do you find those? They would be a good pug-sized serving. My guys love salmon heads, but they are a bit big for the pug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
