We were staying with family and I gave some very expensive kibble to Teal, who generally is a greedy little sod she looked at me as if I had lost the plot I had to do Sainsbury run for chicken wings to get us over the few days we were away

I was warned against feeding frozen from my local pet food place, can unsettle the dogs gut apparently?

Never seemed to bother my clown!

Nah, that's been disproven, people used to think it caused bloat, but it's fine.
cheers,

A few years ago, I went dog sledding in Lapland. The sled dogs were fed once a day, and each received a lump of raw, fatty mince, hacked off from a frozen slab and fed to the dogs still frozen. They were the epitome of canine fitness, and would pull the sleds all day.

Dogs on the Iditarod 100 mile race eat frozen raw a lot too...those are the Olympians of sled dogs

That's the only problem with feeding meat, if you run out or feel you cannot fill a friends freezer with dog meat you can get some very dirty looks ! :lol:

I'm soft and buy eye wateringly expensive freeze dried raw for stay away feeding, though I do give mine a handful of kibble in the evenings just so they don't forget what it is!
