There have been cases were owners just fed chicken wings of dogs becoming ill, this is because the dog was not getting what he needed and not caused by feeding raw. Dogs need more than meat, they need veg and fruit as well. I had a dog that would gently pick off the black blackberries and leave the rest.  My dogs will also help themselves to any raw veg that they can get their mouths round.
Whichever way you decide to feed your dog, research all the posibilities first before making your decision what to feed. |
Sorry I do have to disagree with your comment that dogs NEED fruit and veg - they dont - not if they are fed the correct raw diet.
Can I ask everyone or anyone who feeds a dry commercial food - do you add fruit and veg?
If you feed the correct raw diet it is balanced......so they get the correct amount of meats, organs etc mine do get 2 raw eggs a week and a little goats milk now and again but thats my choice to give that to them.
I also struggled to see how raw would be balanced like a commercial food before I changed from feeding kibble - but the more I read on the internet and speak to many people who have fed raw for years - I can see just how it all works and that in my opinion feeding kibble was damaging my dogs health.
