Re: [rawfeeding] Hi. New. First meal fed tonight.Salmon questions.

Star,

Holding the food isn't the solution...feed larger. But, just so you know,
it is not normal nor necessary for dogs to chew their food. As long as it
fits down their throat, that's all that matters.

However, I still would feed larger and meatier. Wings are small enough to
be a choking hazard and are far too bony. Get a few whole chickens and
quarter them.

the vet I saw before we went on vacation told me that the reason my 11 yr
old Sheltie was
in bad shape is that I had been essentially killing her with kindness,
thinking I was doing
well feeding Nutro Lamb and Rice. Tonight I fed them each two raw chicken
wings, double
jointed. Outside in the yard to protect base carpeting. WOW! They loved it
but I about had
a heartattack when my near 3 year old Sheltie crunched his quickly in a few
places and
swallowed it whole! I will hold it for him ext time, per the suggestions I
have read to
encourage him to chew. I am reading through the list of foods and plan to
visit butcher
tomorrow.
