I have been feeding my 3 year old GSD BARF about a 1/2 year, and she gets ground turkey, veggies, some egg, kelp, alfafa, apple vinager, beef liver on occasion, raw turkey necks, occasional chicken hind quarters, olive oil, some omega 3 and 6 supplements, and vit. C. She does well on the BARF, and is no longer a picky eater. Now I have a chance to feed her raw pork spleen and I have not heard of this as a food. The price is right -- free, and it looks a lot like raw liver -- just wanted some comments from owners with more experience. Thanks.
Never tried that, altho I have read alot of people use it - think it's supposed to be high in iron. I am working very hard to get raw pig pancreas tho.
I was looking for raw pig pancreas too for my other GSD who has EPI, and the butcher gave me a bunch of spleens. Fortunately, I knew more about pig anatomy than he did, and now can give him pictures of the different organs -- off the web. The only place I know to order pig pancreas is through Yoder Meats in Yoder, Kansas. They are very nice, it is just expensive, and especially in the summer you have to time your shipments so they do not spoil on the way. I hope to get the butcher to figure out what pancreas looks like, and then save them for me each week. But since I have the spleens, are they good for my dog?
re - spleens
much like liver as they are high in iron so feed in small quantities as you would liver. They are pretty rich and might cause the scoots if you feed too high an amount.
