Cairo1 Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Hi All My canine members have increased somewhat and I am considering going back to feeding turkey necks for breakfast. I used to feed them regularly but often the girls would later throw up a selection of neck bones. I was not sure if this was a good thing or not? My vet did say that turkey necks were good but I am after a few more opinions. I know they are nutritious but the bone bits worry me a little. . . . Thanks for your time and looking forward to hearing your views. Cheers Cairo1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandra777 Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Depends on the size of dog. My lot love them. never had any bone scraps back but they do give me bone bits back (usually in the middle of the carpet ) from beef sometimes. Vomiting up things they can't digest is normal for dogs and not really anything to be concerned about provided it's not a daily occurance. You could find that in time their stomach adjusts and produces the acids required to digest the bits that are now rejected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WreckitWhippet Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Never had any problems feeding them to the Staffords, Greys or the Whippet. They make a good meal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 perhaps freeze them? then your dogs may chew them more thoroughly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancinbcs Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Turkey necks are the most favourite meal and best digested in this house, when I can get them. None of my BCs have ever thrown up after eating them. My only problem with them is that they are usually bigger than a standard meal for my dogs so I have to cut down on other stuff to be able to feed them or I end up with fat dogs.

Sam the man Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 I give Sam one a week. Sometimes they are a bit big but has had no problems with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakway Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 They are great the dog's here love them. No problems with then at all. I used to purchase them by the carton much cheaper that way. Now days I just purchase off the super market shelf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tilly Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Turkey necks and turkey wings are a favourite here ... actually any raw food is their favourite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staranais Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 I've got one cat that vomits chicken necks, so I don't feed them to him anymore. My other animals do fine with raw poultry (so far, anyway). Dogs do vomit easily, but if they're regularly vomiting up only one type of food, perhaps that particular food isn't great for that particular dog.

I buy turkey necks in bulk and freeze, also cut them in half ad they are too big for my dog for a feed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cairo1 Posted July 18, 2011 Author Share Posted July 18, 2011 Wonderful! Thank you for the vote of confidence! As I mentioned, I used to feed them years ago but worried when I saw piles of fine neck bones tossed up a few days later. . . . Yes, it isn't unusual but those bones were sharp and I did wonder if they could do any harm. I am able to get them in bulk and I know that my current crew will love them! Once again, thank you for your comments! Cheerio Cairo1 :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stolzseinrotts Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 I would go for it, I wish I could get them.........my guys would go nuts for them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boronia Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 I would go for it, I wish I could get them.........my guys would go nuts for them! Hi Stolzseinrotts, it may be an idea to write to Inghams to ask them if they have a supplier in Melbourne. I get mine from Capalaba Pet Foods who buy them from a supplier in Jacobs Well (I think) and that supplier must get them direct from Inghams. They are human grade. I usually buy a 14kg box and mince 1/2 and the dogs get a whole one cut in half a couple of times a week. Daisy sometimes hucks hers up but then she eats it up again (sort of like a cow chewing it's cud I suppose ) Here is their web site http://www.inghams.com.au/enterprises/home.aspx?docId=397 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
