He's old to make tender lamb meat for us, so I'm thinking some can be for the dogs. Do you guys have experience feeding raw lamb? http://s922.photobucket.com/albums/ad67/Grasvaly/

Sharon Empson Webboard User Reg: 08-27-2007 Posts: 1197 Loc: Offline	I have tried to feed it to my dogs, and they did not like it. It has a sent they just didn't like. I thought it strange they didn't like it, but that was my experience with my pups. It was raw. Sharon Sharon Empson

If you stuck to using the lamb as the boneless muscle meat that you give alongside your basic RMBs, then great! Otherwise we'd have to check out whether the ribs and so on are RMBs to the size dogs you have. Also, of course, if they are used to mostly poultry, you'd add it gradually. Aside from these things, GREAT! Freeze it up in smaller packages and use the meat and organs to replace some of your current muscle meat and organs. That's MHO!

Connie Sutherland Moderator Reg: 07-13-2005 Posts: 31571 Loc: North-Central coast of California Offline	My dogs hardly ever get lamb because of the price. But occasionally I see this thing called "lamb flaps" .... no idea what it is, but it's cheap. It seems very fatty, so I give a little at a time. But it was a nice discovery: an affordable lamb item! Another nice discovery that I've mentioned before (not lamb related but a nice cheap and, to the dogs, thrilling item): frozen "Rock Cornish Game Hens." Steve S mentioned them once as being on sale at Safeway for a dollar, and I bought all I could, that time and a few times since. And another thing to hunt up, IMO: TJ's unsalted sardines in water. They look like this: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/519GNE%2BYIzL.jpg and cost about $1.19. Sometimes discount drugstores have a similar can of sardines (and sometimes mackerel) for a dollar on endcaps. Way worth stocking up! Of course, none of these can match a whole lamb who was too big for his britches! lol
