^^^ Great story thanks for sharing! Sounds like fun, and something that I would enjoy doing/seeing one day :biggrin:
LindaP: as far as your list goes up there, I agree with all the others that they are all fine to feed. The only thing that we feed from that list is pork ribs, our dogs LOVE them. We have always been hesitant to get whole fish heads, salmon, because they are almost ALL bone....Bailey eats whole tilapia for breakfast and the heads are almost exclusively bone. The salmon heads are like $.70 per pound here from our distributor so I feel that I would rather spend the money on something a bit more nutritious for the same amount. Yes, variety is a great thing to provide, but to me taking out one not-so-nutritious thing and having one less protein source in the rotation is better than having one extra not-so-nutritious thing added in.
The smelt sound like something we would get for the dogs, definitely, just never seen it here and yes, feed it whole (its like a mini complete meal with bones, organs and meat in one!). Thought about the chicken feet, just have never gotten those either...they are pretty darn cheap here too...maybe next time we make an order :wink:
