    Default dogs and chicken necks

    Read this, in Fridays Heralds Sun.

    Dog paralysis condition linked to eating chicken necks | The Melbourne Newsroom

    Bella did have dizzy spells a few years ago after eating C/Necks, i don't know if it was a co-incidence?

    Regards

    Thanks - DANG I just bought a pack of chicken necks yesterday.

    I think we'll stick to the Kangaroo meaty bones.

    I feed my dog 'Pandy' chicken frames every now and then as I like to give him a varied diet
    He is fed 'supercoat' most of the time and the occasional can of 'whatever'
    Interestingly though is that he absolutely loves fruit... particularly lilly pilly berries!
    And is totally a 'milk pig'...he gets half a cup most days at feed time...takes him back to his puppy days I reckon
    He also knibbles on bark and leaves of certain trees and of course enjoys his greens like grass etc.
    Have never feed him chicken necks as such and will probably now avoid doing so...MM

    We have fed our dogs chicken necks for over 29 years....before it was trendy... the dogs have only died from old age... varying from maltese/maltese x/spoodles/2 labs..... I need further evidence to be swayed... wonder who paid for the research.
    I would love to grow my own food, but I can not find bacon seeds

    This is not correct, only the cooked bones shatter. We have always fed our dogs chicken frames - 1/2 a frame each a week for many years without any effects. Dogs are natural scavengers before they are killers and can eat any type of animal. In the wild they would have come across all manner of carcasses and eaten as much as they could including many bird carcasses. I don't like it but one of our dogs will eat a dried dead fish. She crunches it up into little pieces and the resulting dog droppings look awfully splintery.

    Our dogs will eat anything that smells bad including rotting fish and rotting birds. I had a read of the research paper on the chicken neck and read a bit more around the topic - there are some commentators that reckon the research is flawed since the supposedly at fault bacteria in the chicken necks is already present in around half the guts of all dogs whether they eat raw chicken or not.

    Kangaroo tails are full of gristle and tendons but dogs eat a whole segment of tail in about 30 minutes. Our vet has advise hard beef bones with lots of sinew in them as this gets the dogs chewing for a lot longer. A good beef bone will keep our dogs occupied on-off for several days.
