chryst Twincharged September 30, 2018 Share September 30, 2018 Almost confirmed getting the dog. Going down to see the pup on Tuesday. Probably handover in one or two weeks time. Excited. Thinking of some potential names now. Congrats on your new kid! Name her something that’s not embarrassing at the vet... haha. Have heard a few names that caused some sniggers, eg Dickface cos the poor husky’s blaze was a phallic shape... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mockngbrd Supersonic October 1, 2018 Share October 1, 2018 Actually it's a misconception. Putting aside dogs with health problems or reasons, in principle all dogs can take raw, it's the most natural form of food for them. However, when we put our human mindset into the whole equation, we somehow feel the food needs to be cooked. It's probably down through the years when dogs have been eating off the owners table which are human food anyway. My dog was on cooked food till 7 mths old then we switched him to raw. He is doing great so far Ideally yes but in actual practise no. Feeding raw will also need to be careful of parasites, bacteria and potential salmonella if not careful. Not all will do well on raw. Case by case. Some also have allergies to certain meats. But regardless raw or cooked, both are much better than those cheapo commercially available kibble. Even those vet shop science diet kibble is crap. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I mean raw, it is Barf (biologically approved raw food. So risk of bacterial n parasites are low. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desrongrong 3rd Gear October 1, 2018 Share October 1, 2018 Nice, u have prior experience before? used to have a mongrel when i was a kid and i guess being a mongrel grass training her was easy , took only 1 day to fully grass train her. so i don't think that can be considered as "prior experience". As for my poodle , due the breed being smart so she was pee tray trained after just 1 time of placing her on the tray right after she peed on the floor. Its my pom that was a huge challenge , i spent a good 6 months trying to pee tray him but still failed. So i grass train him instead , took 1 week to fully grass train him. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atrecord Supersonic October 1, 2018 Share October 1, 2018 Not sure if this was posted before - as it happened back in 16/17 - but came across this touching story of an Australian living in Ireland, who took part in an extreme race in China Gobi desert, and made friends with a stray dog there. The dog ran part of the race with him and stayed by his side most of the time. He wanted to adopt the dog and bring her back to Ireland - but not before losing her, and then reuniting with her, as well as 6-mth quarantine... https://nationalpost.com/news/world/scottish-marathon-runner-finally-brings-home-stray-dog-that-ran-with-him-for-126-km-through-chinese-desert 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVA has the same rules. a dog averages 12 to 15 yr of life. 6 mth is ~4% of its life. a cat averages 15 years. So the same 4% applies. perhaps 3 mths of quarantine? from a layman perspective, any potential disease would already have surfaced? ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
