I'd say the bacteria part is largely nonsense, but there are certain people who can get a little hesitant about bone in meats. Generally speaking as long as it's not been cooked it's fine, but I wouldn't want to speak for the smaller breeds. If it just's fillets however then I'd say give it a try, but work it slowly into the dogs diet. If you don't then the gastronomic effects can be a little violent...

does anyone feed their dog raw chicken ?

Yes regular part of the diet for my two cockapoos. They get raw drumsticks, wings, and sometimes quarters depending on what I can source. Raw chicken bones are fine and good for health. Cooked chicken bones to be avoided (more liable to splinter).

Not sure if I've posted before but this is our Grey Brodie.

Today he's doing his best Winslett from Titanic impression ;)

I have too add that whilst he essentially looks hairless here that's very much a trick of the light. His belly is about the only place he doesn't have any hair at all.

We've changed his diet recently to try and encourage a little more hair growth, but this is like the 3rd time trying different things...

There are lots of women here in Whitchurch that dream of having a pair of legs as nice as that :) It looks a very brown paper bag magazine sort of photo....

I suggest you review the feeding advice and ordering options on various Raw Feeding Supplier websites to get an idea what you can feed to your dog. These are two such suppliers I use for a variety of things that I can't source locally (like bulk marrow bones and raw beef chunks). I can get raw chicken anywhere but marrow bones (those are treats really) and beef chunks (2Kg bags) are more difficult to get. There's a huge range of products and some are a bit fanciful but all suppliers list the basic dietry staples and suppliments you will need to provide a balanced raw diet for your dog. Don't think you can just chuck them a chicken leg and that's it!

These are the bulk marrow bones I buy for my dogs: https://www.nurturingbynature.co.uk/product/marrow-bones-10kg-bulk and 10Kg is a lot of bones! Nicely cut into treat-sized chunks though. They have to be stored frozen and take up a fair bit of space in your freezer - on the other hand a box lasts a couple of months at least. Cheaper buying bulk like this. I leave a bone with each dog and they'll hollow out each end then after a day or so I'll crack it using a 6" 6-ton vice (it lets go with a bang and it takes some effort!). No way can the dogs crack them alone. When cracked they'll voraciously lick out the insde then I can then immediately throw the remainder away. This is the one treat my cockapoos value very highly and whilst they generally get on well together they will fight for ownership. If you only have one dog not a problem.

These are the beef chunks I buy which forms about 25% of their intake: https://rflstore.co.uk/product/albion-beef-chunks-2kg/ . There are some rubbish products offered by other sellers but this is good quality stuff. I even returned one order for 'similar' bags of beef chunks I bought from a local pet food shop because it was just lumps of fat and grissle - horrible stuff.
 
Nosey cow loves to spy on the neighbours.
Don't think it'll be long till she's back off to the groomers.

To quote Sean Lock - "that was a challenging ****"

:cry:

On a more serious note, does anyone use a crate in the boot of the car for transporting dogs? We have a Ford C-Max pre-2010 and we have found some crates that are shaped to fit the boot and angles etc. However, just a little pricey for us right now. Does any one just use a normal crate to suit? I know normal crates might not open properly due to the boot lip but I would rather have a metal one than one of those pop up metal frame material ones.

Thoughts, ideas and recommendations welcome.
