How and where can one get a whole ostrich ??? Are you living next to a Zoological garden or an ostrich - farm , dear Pavel ?

And how long time does one dog feed on it , until the whole ostrich is completely eaten ? An Ostrich is weighting up to 120 kg ....

People grow ostrich for meat So it is possible to get the parts that are not used anymore or if the whole bird doesn't suit for people's food for some reasons

Of course i know this. But this was not the question - i´m wondering how one can get , transport and feed a whole ostrich to his dogs...

(May be he ment only young ostrichs..?)

I´m curious on Pavel´s answer here...

Where do you live, Silvester? Metropolis?

Did you never order a 1/4 or a 1/2 cow from a farmer? There´s no problem to get the meat home from the butcher - all you need is a station waggon

And if the ostrich stinks a bit after some time: what an amuse-gueule for the dogs

Just remembered a funny story
At dog shows we all can see that most of the dog lovers are women, Lithuania is not an exception. Also among people feeding their dogs raw meet there are a lot of women. And once a very elegant red haired lady, owing Irish setters, got a... rabbit. With all the coat on. I am not sure now why she wanted to take the coat of, but she did. And on the dog owner's forum she asked, how she should do it. And the advise was to pump the rabbit with air - the coat then separates from the body. Imagine an elegant lady in a yard of BLOCK HOUSES, pumping the rabbit with a pomp for car's tires
Yes, she DID it

Hmmm....I´m sorry, no , i never ordered a quarter or half of a cow from a farmer - may be i´m living in a more civilized part of Germany, who knows...

But I´m still waiting for the answer of Pavel ...

Hey "Angie" - you didn´t see the smilies ????

May be YOU are the one with a lack of humour - or of understanding ?

Ok, it´s not worth talking about any more.

When he was a puppy, I fed my dog Royal Canin (German Shepherd puppy/junior). He kept diarrhea and redness/itch in the groin. According to my vet, he was possibly sensitive to grain or other ingredients in the kibble.

After an examination of the kibble ingredients i discovered that there are very much "meat substitutes" and various fillers in it, but very little meat (as with almost all kibble brands). The abundantly present cereals for example are a cheap source of protein but of different quality than animal protein.

I decided to start feeding him a complete & balanced raw meat brand when he was about 10 months. Almost immediately an incredible result. Diarrhea gone (immediatley), very little poo, redness/itch in the groin disappeared within a week, he got a beautiful coat, chalk white teeth... I combine it with chicken necks, salmon carcasses (with a thick layer of meat between the bones), raw eggs, smashed green beans / tomato, green tripe, sometimes kitchen scraps and sheep ribs.

Every time it's a feast for him, he's just doing fantastic on it. Costs nor any effort neither much money. "Suum cuique", but for me this is feeding for ultimate health.
