judygram Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Dog biscuits, now I hadn't thought of that, I really don't know but I would imagine it would have safe ingredients but I would not let him have too much just in case it has something greys shouldn't have. Maybe you could find a grey safe treat that looks like a dog biscuit and give it to him when you give the dog the biscuit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawzy4 Posted July 15, 2007 Author Share Posted July 15, 2007 Thanks Judygram. I,ve been reading a few past threads, and most people seems to be feeding there AG ON PELLETS, i HAVE TRIED EVERY PET STORE i could find in belfast and most didn't even know of a parrot pellet food never mind stock it... If anyone can piont me in the right direction of a good web site in the uk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Just google Harrison's High Potency pellets and see what comes up, there should be a site for the uk. Harrisons is the best and is recommended by most avian vets too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Lidia Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 They can have the odd one, for fun, but it's no good as a substitute for a pellet or other diet, it doesn't contain the right minerals and supplements and vitimins for birds. But they do occasionally like them. Be sure not to give cat food as this is far too high in protein for birds (and dogs!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bekkie Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Thanx Lidia, I thought cat and dog pellets where the same exept for the size Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Obviously not, cats need more protein, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miltie Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 THought if its ok for humans is usually ok for birds. I ate a dog biscuit on a bet one time. I didnt bark, scratch myself or lick myself ... Sorry couldnt resist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That made me laugh out loud, karma for you! Just out of curiosity, how did it taste? Dog biscuits are, in general, safe because they tend to be meal/cereal based rather than protein based (pig snouts, ears, rabbit bottoms, etc). Dogs can be healthy on a completely vegetarian diet whereas cats are dedicated carnivores. :sick: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

judygram Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Thats right, Shawzy4, never say old on this forum, its always older, but look at it this way, you are only as old as you feel, and if you survived eating dog biscuits when young, then you are ok, hair and all. :P :P :P :P :sick: :P :P :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Monique Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 I wouldn't feed dog biscuits because there are generally chemicals and non-human grade products used in them. They may cause no harm to the bird but I would be hesitant to experiment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bekkie Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Yes I think I will not feed my grey dog biscuits as well, just in case there are harmfull stuff in it. I have heard that they put stuff in it like cattle blood,etc. :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bekkie Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 I used to give my Ringnecks dog pellets and they actually loved it. The blue one used to dip his pellets in the water so it can get softer, but I stopped giving it to them.:unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Bekkie it would shock you with what they put in the products we buy and I am even talking about human grade food stuff.:sick: :sick: :sick: :ohmy: :sick: :sick: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
