Canned Dog Food Questions - Interesting Ingredients?

Postby ILoveMyMonsters » Wed Oct 12, 2011 5:46 pm

I give Gauge (who envelopes the meaning of "Princess" :roll: ) exclusively hollistic canned dog food as the protein source in her diet. As of right now, She gets Blue Buffalo and Merrick's amongst a couple of other brands i can't recall off the top of my head. She was eating Cesear's until I noticed how it was more byproduct than meat.

ANYWAY....I was at an independent pet retailer here in town called Airdale Antics, which sells an extensive range of hollistic dog food that you will never find in your local PetCo or PetsMart (it's awesome :D ). I noticed that some are canned pheasant, kangaroo, and rabbit. Are any of three good for blue tongued skinks? Just curious. If so, I would love to have her try some, since she is becoming a VERY voracious eater as she is getting older.

I don't see any problem with any of those.
If a bluey can eat cow (beef) he can certainly eat bunny and pheasant. And I hear people Down Under feeding Roo Rump all the time.

Sure - those would be fine. El Lobo regularly feeds roo rump (not canned dog food, but actual cuts of roo meat - good luck finding that in North America!).

Lol Katrina....I didn't even know you could purchase canned kangaroo at all here in the States. I was astonished to find it available at all! The store has offered to order some for me, I told them I would have to check.

The look on the clerk's face was fantastic when I told her that the food was for a blue tongue skink. :D
