Time4ANap Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 There are some hounds here who are very, very fond of bread. Right, Hot Rod???? I usually give Rocket bread when he has the tummy runbles. Settles it right out. Otherwise, he's more of a Cookies and Bones man.... Quote Camp Broodie.

gryhnd_adoptee Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Our girls looove the long loaved french bread when it gets extra stale. It's really hard and crisp, and they always come back looking for more. I figure the extra crunch is always good for a little extra teeth cleaning too.

GreyTzu Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Yup. I use any leftover bread, bagels or English muffins as a treat. Stale, fresh, they don't care. The funny in our house is that Rocky the 'Tzu doesn't like bread, but he now eats it just so the greys don't get it. :rofl Quote Wendy and The Whole Wherd. American by birth, Southern by choice.

Guest PhillyPups Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 The topic made me think of two words ~ Dammit Arrow ~ not mine, but he did gently take the biscuit right off my plate before I even noticed it moving. Easy way to pill Moe, stick the pill in bread with peanutbutter. She is an old farm girl and not used to having a pill shoved down her throat. The only time I did that to her, she bit me, not her fault, mine for not remembering she probably was never pilled and never spent time on the track. Now she gets pills in peanutbutter smeared on a piece of bread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreytNut Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Bread is OK in moderation. My bridge boy Tiny was a bread junkie. He came from a prison dog program, and when the inmates discovered how much he loved bread it became a game to smuggle him as much as he could eat. When I adopted him he was so fat he could hardly walk. In the journal his handler kept I found an entry that read simply, "I must stop enabling Tiny's bread addiction." While I stopped feeding him bread, the addiction never really went away. Once he stole a loaf from the top of the refrigerator. I have no idea how. When he had osteosarcoma and was nearing the end, I bought him a loaf to have all to himself. He got a third of it each day for the last three days. He was positively thrilled, and that was at a time when not much thrilled him anymore.

Guest FlosMomma Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Mine eats anything in front of her. I was horrified to learn at Christmas that she scarfed down all the chocolates in a candy bowl on the table. While I was at church praying, she was here stealing!

The others get a piece of bread with a dab or PB and they think they have died and gone to heaven! We don't do people food around here much for the hounds. Edited to add: The exceptions being birthdays and gotcha days. When he had osteosarcoma and was nearing the end, I bought him a loaf to have all to himself.

charbess Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Charlotte LOVES bread...just rattling the bag gets her running. She is particularly fond of Portuguese rolls.

Greyhoundcastle Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 For what's it worth - brewer's yeast is often one of the additives, along with canned vegetables, fruits, dry kibble, etc., to the meat mixture fed to greys, both in the racing kennel and on the farm. Hence, the fascination with bread that some dogs develop. Like someone indicated earlier, getting a slice of bread out of the sack is definitely more tempting than cheese to a couple of the dogs that live here!

XTRAWLD Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 My boys live for bread. I think the crusts of Rye bread are what lead to the longevity of my Pomeranian.

EnzaFerrari Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 (edited) Enza will eat bread but I recently learned she will kill me for a slice of toast. Last weekend I had the stomach flu and the only thing I could hold down was toast. Enza would steal pieces at all opportunities no matter how sick I was.

tra708 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Abby used to surf the countertop for bread (or meat, or anything). she was known to eat entire loaves of bread, whole rotisserie chickens, and whole boxes of Entenmanns coffee cake. One night, we returned to find her on the front couch with a bag of pretzels, delicately taking them out one by one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moofie Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 My dogs love bread and i don't like the crusts so when i have toast or sandwich they'll help me out . I'm sure i've read on GD that some racing dogs diet includes bread and seen these bread nuggets advertised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
