Do any of you that feed raw use road kill ? If so what? If not why not.
Just a random thought ,one of the funny things that go around my brain !!!

Not only do the dogs get some, I eat some of it myself! I do need to know exactly how fresh it is though.

Mostly Rabbit, Pheasant and Wood Pigeon make a nice treat when we can find it, fresh and clean.  I always make sure the worming is up to date.

What sort Jeangenie,birds ,rabbits ,badgers, foxes etc .There is such a variety ,What can you feed?  ,For yourself  I would think birds ,rabbits Deer ,But what else could you feed dogs. Do you feed whole fur/skin /feathers or do you sort it ?

Sorry Brainless, I was typing While you were posting ,do you feed whole ?

>For yourself  I would think birds ,rabbits Deer

Exactly right. I don't eat carnivores (foxes, badgers etc) and I don't feed them to the dogs either. Whether it's true or not I feel there's too much risk of passing on diseases.

Yes generally whole unless we are having some too.

>birds ,rabbits ,badgers, foxes etc

Definitely NOT badger.  It can pass TB on to dogs.  cats too actually.

>birds ,rabbits ,badgers, foxes etc

It's also illegal to possess a dead badger or any part of one (such as a skin) unless it's antique.

I was wondering the very same thing the other day as I narrowly avoided a Roe deer that was lying dead on the road, from the looks of it, it was pretty fresh, but I did wonder about the meat being contaminated by stomach/bowel contents.

From what I remember, Deer goes 'off' incredibly quickly unless it is gutted etc.  I wouldn't risk it unless you know when exactly it was killed.....which is a pity....LOVE venison.  Nom Nom.

That's what I was thinking Penfold, glad I resisted.

Venison can be hung so if the paunch is intact should not be a problem.  You'd need to open it up to see.
