So I saw that video MM posted with the TM's in Tibet.
Are there more like that?
I also noticed they cooked their food & it was mentioned they are fed a special diet.
I'm wondering if due to years of separation, their diet requirements are different?
I'm wondering if anyone knows what that diet is they were being fed in that video?
it looked like a more soupy like gruel-& I am curious about it.
Tessa also seems to eat more grass than any pooch I've ever seen, she LOVES grass-I have to be careful because of people's lawns, because those greenest ones are chemical treated, but if we are in fields, or my yard, I just let her. Any other breed would be puking from the grass--not Tessa.
Recently she stole my thai basil, & really likes to chew on the stems--enough to hide a few for later. So is there more of a fiber/plant material requirement? I've seen posts when you all remark your TM's might be part cow--and thinking there is something to it-due to their genetic history-they've definitely got a craving for grass--my last girl only ate grass when she was feeling ill & wanting to puke. Tessa digests hers.
In trying to research stuff about TM's, I've come across various rare types of mountain type dogs from other countries
& they eat less meat-even some oatmeal looking mixtures with milk etc--& the people in other (though much poorer) swear by these diets, saying their pooches has long been bred to be light on food despite size. I'm not sure what I think about those kind of statements.
I think is was in Bulgaria they were talking about Karakachans do not tolerate much meat.
On the flip side, I'm spending more in dog food per month than my own damn food. And, I think that's just dumb, because despite the ingredients being quality on the bag-its just pellet food, & I feel like crap about it.
I'd love to go raw, but can't right now, though am thinking of purchasing a freezer for Tessa, but don't know if I can keep up raw & extra time to prep & special place to feed etc.
I'm wondering about cooked. If I'm having roast & vegies-why couldn't she have the same thing?
It has got to be better than what's in a bag.
it'd be more like feeding 2 people instead of a person & a pooch.
