Pet dogs aren't wild.
Proper dog food isn't that expensive, you can get a massive bag that lasts for weeks for a tenner.

Giving the huskies stuff like this to eat is just going to confuse them. Theyll think they are wild dogs living in a warm house and before you know it theyll start attacking alive lambs just to satisfy their urges.

Imo, anything with actual blood in it like this is only going to lead to problems one day.
Get the taste of blood and they will want to get itmore often, which leads to biting people/animals etc.
Having run pet shops for the past 35 years, my family highly disapprove of this.

Exactly. Why do you think dogs love to watch humans eating human biscuits? Its because they have a taste for doggy biscuits and now they would risk being put down just to satisfy their biscuit urge.

How would a dog know that attacking a human would get them blood ?
Don't see how feeding a dog something with blood in it would make them see all living things as a meal.

Oh the barf diet...
No one hears the bad stuff about it,
A friend of mine had 4 dogs, all different breeds,
Had them on the barf diet for years, until one started gradually loosing weight with no explanation,
They thought he had a blockage,
They operated turned out the little things on your digestive track walls had basically been stripped off, hence he couldn't absorb any of the nutrients,
Eventually he died, they checked the other 3 dogs, all had signs of it,
He got 3 vets opinions, all put it down to the diet, saying todays dogs just cannot handle the raw food etc, they are so far from the wild dogs of the day,
And the vets had said they had heard of this happening before, and I've never come across any vet/person who cares for animals recommend the barf diet either. So that made my mind up.

It was pointed out to chloe when she first got the dogs that it didn't sound very good, she knew best though and just used them as a way to make money instead.

all 9 of my dogs are fed on a barf diet, all my dogs are working dogs and i raced 4 of my dogs in the last rally season, all my dogs are healthy and fit, all have a good weight and healthy coats and sparkling white teeth, my last litter of pups were reared on the barf diet from 5 weeks old, i dont make any money from my dogs john, infact i made a big loss on my last litter as i have kept 3 of the pups and gave another one away for free! also none of my dogs will be bred in the near future, if we do decide to have another litter it wont be for at least another 4 years an then we will only breed for our selves will any remaining pups going to show or working homes!
