  • Kinda like Charley the tuna from Chicken-of-the-SEA commercials.

  • nice, Ill be getting my B some when hes old enough to eat that.

    btw, does that substitute a meal?

  • @nobarkus:

    By the way your B has a beautiful coat! My red had a beautiful coat especially in the summer.

    Thanks!!! He?s almost fully in fur again, he just lost his winter coat :D

    @Quercus:

    Why is the fish's name Sally?

    hihi It's a Salmon, So one I called Sal and the other one Sally! (like Janneke said :D)

    It's possible, but you have to know very good how you make such a meal complete. Only a fish head has too small ammount of ingredients to be a complete meal.
    You have to complete that with chicken, bones, and other meat.

    We give raw fish heads, hare, rabbit, chicken etc for a nice treat and some chewing exercise (they don't have their powerfull jaws for fun hahaha)

    We wanted to BARF totally, and buy al different sort of meat and give that in the best combination so it will be a good and complete meal.
    But our fridge is too small to have that big ammount of fresh meat.
    So we searched for a food that already is complete and has the closest quality to BARF.
    Those are big frozen sausages with Barf, already complete.
    The dogs like it so much, we started 3years ago with Buana and since, that's what we feed our dogs.
    It's not that cheap, One sausage costs 4.65 in Us dollars and we give one sausage a day. We always buy 14 sausages of one kilogram for two weeks.

    I don't know if there's someting like a complete Barf dinner in your country.
    Always look good at the ingredients, in Holland there are very much other choises (that say to be as good as real Barf, but if I look at the ingriedients and ammount, I see there missing mostly some things..)

  • Oh, duh…some how I missed that you said it was Salmon...though I could have figured it out from looking at the fish!

    I will blame my lack of cleverness on lack of sleep :)

    yeah….sure they do ;)

  • Thanks for sharing the pictures – I never thought to keep the fish heads when I'm fishing myself. Stupid me. Are inland lake fish just as good as ocean fish?

    I read somewhere that if you want to feed raw fish it is best to freeze the catch for at least 2 weeks to be sure all micro-organisms and parasites are dead …

    @Basenjimamma: Great pictures. I love the one of him in the cat bed, so comfy. Their bed is awesome, where did you get it? I like the fact that it is black, every dog bed here is either tan-ish or plaid or plain ugly… I got it at a German petstore (named Tiergarten), that petstore has a very big choice for dog-beds.. (every colour, figure etc you want, they have ) We first wanted a leather bed, but that was way too expensive.. more than 370 us dollars :eek: Besides, I don't think the B's want to sleep on a leather bed.. that's a bit cold… haha

    @sharronhurlbut: Do you have to bath them to get the fish smell off? That is about the only time we bath our dogs, when we are walking on the beach and they find something smelly to roll in. if they're rolling in fish.. yeah we absolutely bath them.. but when they eat it, we haven't because they only smell a few hours in their mouth! hahaha @wizard: Do you think it would be okay to give lake fish instead of salmon type? The bones are a little different I think. Here in Minnesota we catch a lot of fish but I usually toss the remains for the garden. Never thought about giving to the dogs. I really don't know, My forst thought was"why not?" We buy our fish from the market, they give us just what they have at that moment. If we would catch some fish, I think i give it to them only if the water is very healty. (were the fish come from) maybe someone here on the forum knows for sure if it's possible:)
