Body parts (pets at home)

[Mrsoh39]

So, have been looking for things for the puppy on pets at home, turns out they have a section for treats, bones and body parts

No eyeballs in sight though.

Sorry, forgot picture and it's terrible quality too

My puppy would like a human hand please, if you’re putting an order in.

Yuk ... yes, I was in there today and they’ve installed a “pet deli” .... definitely not for the faint hearted. Pig snouts, trachea, tendons, ears (pig, rabbit and buffalo .... !!), pigs trotter, turkey feet, and bull pizzle ....as well as other stuff. I’m no prude, but even I felt a bit queasy. Whatever happened to Bonios?

Traditional treat biscuits are full of crap and my girl has awful reactions to them.
She is however fond of dehydrated lung, fish skin, liver and meat. So it’s a yes to body parts from us.

Pizzles are penises aren't they?

Yep.

Oh god, really? What would you recommend.

@dangermouseisace would you like 1 or 2 hands

@Wolfiefan that all sounds delightful

Turkey feet, just why

Here she is, my lovely Border Collie, she was still happy going to the field in the disgusting weather we've had today.

Ooo mine likes raw duck feet. Crunchy.
Best not joke about human hands after the horrid case recently in the US. Child had hand eaten by dog. No really.

‘Turkey feet, just why’

Same reason as chicken’s feet and duck webs are on the menu at many Far East Asian restaurants. They’re edible and quite tasty. Even if you don’t really want to think where they’ve been.

And if an animal has died to become food, then it seems only right for the carnivores to eat all of it.

After all, you’re probably eating too - finely minced and reconstituted into more acceptable shapes

My Bernese likes animals feet/trotters and also tracheas/ducks neck but they never last long. Frozen beef chunks are the best chew time to gross things rating with ours.

Really wolfie? I don't watch much news.

We're trying to suss out what her tail movements mean, and she's trying to be dominant at the moment.

she's trying to be dominant at the moment.
No, she's not. Dominance theory is outdated science, thoroughly debunked. Dogs need guidance and boundaries, but they're not trying to take over the world, or even your household.

Ok Avocado, I'm quite happy to accept anyone's advice but please there is no need to quite so abrupt about it

I buy these for DDog, though not from Pets at Home as you can always find the same stuff cheaper elsewhere.

Pizzle sticks (bull penis) and trachea are the favourites, though dried tripe appears from time to time. I stopped buying cows ears after he demolished one in my flatmate's bed and left all the hair there 🤮😂

I prefer to think that DDog can contribute to reducing waste from the meat industry by eating those bits that humans tend not to eat.

I didn’t see it on the news thank goodness. Came up as a news story on my phone. Creepy gadget knows I’m interested in dogs.
Avocados is right. It’s not advice. It’s true. Even the person who came up with dominance/pack theory now says they were wrong. People will react strongly to it as it often leads to really bad training advice.
What’s the tail look like? Could be excited, unsure, interested, alert. Their body language is fascinated and often misunderstood.

To be even.

Avocados the conversations you could have with your flat mate.
Did you find my dried penis in your duvet?
Don’t suppose my trachea is in your slipper?
It’s not my hair blocking the plug hole. It’s the cow’s ears!

And the poor fish fingers too ! Awful

Can you imagine waking up to cow hairs all over your bed, ewwwww

She is such a friendly dog, I think they need to remove the images online if it's not true.

I mean no offence, I'm learning

@Wolfiefan I love that

Dried penis in your duvet omg ha ha

Pig ear gave BastardSpaniel really bad squits so never again. A nice dry biscuit is just fine thank you very much.

Its the green tripe that bloody honks, dog loves it though.

Ah you want the raw pig ears. Preferably still a bit frozen.
Ah yes. The feeding of the tripe before 7am is particularly grim. And requires exceptional soap to remove the stench from your hands.
