Miranda Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 Personally I wouldn't feed pet mince to my dogs and I don't think they'd eat it if I did. I have noticed that some people on these forums are feeding it and obviously they have found good suppliers, but IMO the majority of pets mince is rubbish. I have even seen it artificially coloured with food dye to make it look more like meat. Most of it is 95% fat and it also contains preservative. If you have fed a poor quality pets mince to your dog I'm not surprised that it has upset him, especially if you've suddenly switched his diet. It is far better to do these things slowly to give the digestive system time to adjust. Some dogs can deal with a sudden change in diet, but most can't and animal nutritionists always recommend that any changes are made gradually.

MonElite Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 i still feed my baby amstaff puppy food There is no reason for your puppy not to eat the same sort of diet. The earlier you start the more of a variety of things they learn to eat. Give your puppy the same diet, make sure it grows slowly but steady. Start with chicken necks - puppy will also love it. ***** BTW - DobermanDave rang me yesterday. His dog vomited as it ate the food and straight after was running followed by heavy drinking. But now DD knows not to excercise the dog straight after feeding and the potential dangers of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aellyssa Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Hi DoberDave, I have always mixed my vegies with chicken mince - which I do myself - chicken breasts mainly. I usually buy 2 Kg as they are always on special and I use about 2 kg every 3 weeks. I also add a small amount of garlic, linseed oil and apple cider vinegar. They eat it all down, no problems. Good luck with it. Ailsa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MonElite Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 You can get human grade meat at the pet shop, you just need to order it specifically. My dog will not the normal pet mince as I believe it contains kidneys and he will simply not touch it. I order human grade lean beef in 5 or 10kg bags from my pet shop.
