It's dethawing, eh? So you're re-freezing it?

 

Huh? Ok I think im getting american sayings wrong. Dethawing to me means its unfreezing in your refridgerator. Is this wrong?

 

LOL, sorry I couldn't resist. No, thawing means unfreezing. DEthawing means, well, freezing again, if you catch my drift?

 

Liver is in the refrigerator! Got it.

It is fine to feed one organ until gone then switch to another. Balance over time!

Thawing is the same as defrosting. Not sure if dethawing is the same as freezing!

 

Thanks! I wonder how ridiculous I must sound in person then when I talk to people. I must re read up on different words/terms americans use.

 

Nooo you don't sound ridiculous at all! I hope I didn't make you think that! I was just teasing. So many people say "dethaw" even though "thaw" is what they really mean that I just couldn't help myself. I promise you don't sound silly!!!

Dethaw simply isn't a word.

 

Just curious, where are you from? :]

 

you sound fine. english has so many idioms that i get confused, having not been born here...: )

i feed my dogs a piece of liver and a piece of kidney every day....right after their morning walk, which is around 5 a.m. these days.

since they don't eat breakfast until around 8, it provides them with their vitamins in the form of a treat.....i approximate 5% liver and 5% kidney for their weekly diet intake....comes out to about 1/2 ounce per organ.

some people feed organs once a week, when they remember, sometimes it's a whole meal...however you want to do it, there is no hard and fast rule.....

i do it this way, because my older girl gets loose stools so easily and liver and kidney are very rich...so a little bit every day works for me.

 

Lamb kidneys don't smell nearly as much as beef kidney, after your done with beef kidney give lamb a try. That is the only organs my dogs usually eat.

 

that's true.....mine eat lamb kidney now and beef liver....when i run out, they'll get lamb liver, too...

the one i won't feed is pork liver or pork kidney. i don't care much for pork anyway, but their organs have a stench that even i can't handle.

 

I don't even notice your English and I have 12 years of college. Your spelling is good and that's what drives me crazy!

 

I agree. Your spelling, grammar, etc. is better than the average American's! :smile: I really hope I didn't make you feel bad...

 

ha no no. Someone else in another thread pointed out something I said and then you had made mention so I thought I wasnt as good as I thought I was. Im Italian

 

I was looking at organs and was wondering about the thymus, spleen, pancreas, adrenal, does anyone feed these and is it better to stick with kidney and liver? These organs from beef or bison

 

All of those are good to feed but few people do. They are pretty difficult to find. Liver and kidney are the most nutritious and easiest to find.

 

certainly that's my problem..finding the more exotic ....i don't want to call them that. they aren't....but i've not found spleen or pancreas or thymus....

i'm not looking real hard for it, either.....liver and kidney provide enough vitamins and the occasional eye from fish....i'm okay with that.

 

I just ordered some pancreas through our (I think you're in it too) co-op in the Oregon green tripe database. There should be one opening up for Washington soon I think.

 

Spleen is pretty easy to find around here so I have been feeding liver, kidney and spleen as my main organs.

 

send me some? : )

 

I'll take some spleen too please!

 

Yes, but isn't that a mix for dogs with a certain health condition?

 

Yes, but isn't that a mix for dogs with a certain health condition, I can't think of it right off the top of my head. It's a mix isn't it? I think both re and I are strictly looking for spleen as is.

yeah...it is within a mix....they do have ground pancreas chubs, but you have to use it within thirty days, so that's no good for my guys. they're too small.

 

Actually, I just looked at the site and yes, you have to use it within 3 months but it looks like it is just pancreas.

 

it is just pancreas.....the ones with spleen are the combination organ chubs.
