Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| When you get meat, how long do you generally freeze it for before you give it to your husky? I know most bacteria does not die from being frozen, only rendered inactive or stops the growth. |

| If you freeze it long enough, the bacteria will die. How long I freeze food depends on the source. Most of the meat I buy is human grade from supermarkets so I really don't need to freeze it at all. However I have such a stockpile of meat already, and I buy in bulk, that I always freeze so that I use my older meat first. Stuff from less than pristine markets I might freeze longer, like a full week, before using. The same goes for items like meat obtained from wild animals, for example those hunted/caught/farm raised (not store bought).
I have so much meat though that everything is frozen for weeks, not by necessity, before I can even get around to it. _________________ |

| I do the same as Val I buy a ton of meat at a time and it will stay in the freezer until I get around to give it to them. I don't go by any certain time it has to stay in the freezer. |

| Same here! When I first started, I bought the meat and left it in the freezer for 72 hours before I started feeding Callie raw. Now I'm usually restocking long before she's out of meals. With the variety of meats you'll feed, it should be easy. Like I won't buy just pork chops and then feed just pork chops. I usually buy three different meats during any given restocking trip, divide them up, and toss them in the freezer. Then whatever I pull out is what she gets the next day. |

| If you do end up leaving meat in the freezer for a few weeks, I would recommend getting a Food Saver (vacuum pack). It is an investment, however, it will allow your meat (or whatever food you freeze) to last longer. Or, use freezer ziploc bags and take as much air out as you can so they do not get freezer burned. Vacuum packed frozen meat will last 8-12 months in the freezer and cheese will last a couple of months in the fridge! _________________ |
