Pauly & Chuck try meat based natural dog treats for the first time – VIDEO

This video was taken when I was visiting a friend’s house in Broken Hill. I was away from my home for a week, and there a few good discount meat shops in that town so I had to come up with a strategy of keeping my dog on his meat diet.

I managed to buy my dog meat, bones and offal but these treats definitely made a great supplemental feed.

The strategy meant taking along plenty of chicken, duck, beef and kangaroo jerky (the 100% meat treat varieties). This video is about my friend’s dogs also sharing the wealth of my visit.

In the video, you will see Pauly (the Jack Russel) and Chuck who eat an almost exclusive grain (manufactured dog food) diet except for the occasional bone or scrap of meat. This is essentially how 97% of dogs eat, so I thought it would be good to see what these two new dogs thought of my healthy dog treats (as sold on this site).

In particular there is a lot of misinformation put out there by major dog food manufacturing companies that you should never change diets (ie only feed your dog their grain based diet for life). Yes a sudden change can cause diarrhoea, so any long term major changes should be slowly integrated into a dogs diet.

However, there are very few people who will tell you that it is dangerous to feed dog meat. In fact, the only reason that your carnivore dog would have any kind of adverse reaction to meat based dog treats would be if your dog food was mostly grains – and yes most are 80% grain based. They might have an unsettled stomach until their system learns how to digest the food that it evolved to eat.
