Re: Raw Feeding: everything you need to know!

Sky is having her first all raw day today. This morning she had a chicken thigh (bone removed) and 1 quarter of a chicken. She loved it all and didnt gulp the chicken quarter like I thought she would, instead she layed down and took her time and LOVED IT!

Quick question the chicken quarters weigh about 350g and the thighs 150g, will she be okay having 1 chicken quarter and thigh for breakfast and the same for dinner? or is that not enough bones?

hi there, do the thighs contain bones? or are they filleted (so meat-only)? - it depends how you would like to feed, but I usually only give one boney meal a day, although you may want to be giving more at the beginning...

As the parts you mention are relatively meaty though it should be fine to start, but as you get further in, I would reduce the bone a bit and do one meal without bone a day and one with

I de-boned the thigh this morning, should I do the same this evening then?

Re: Raw Feeding: everything you need to know!

Perhaps I would be best giving

2 boneless thighs for breakfast 200g - 300g total

and dinner

2 chicken quarters 700g total

Does this sound a better idea?

Hi Âüþãà, thanks for contributing to the thread - but apart from the eggs, are you saying you feed everything else cooked including the chicken?

This thread is called "Raw Feeding: everything you need to know!" - and as such is specifically about how to feed a raw diet to our pet carnivores.

Whilst some people do feed cooked meat along with the raw diet, it is as an occasional tit bit or leftovers from their meals, not as their pets' main diet...too much in the way of cooked meat is not nutritionally balanced at all and can lead to deficiencies and would not be encouraged.

Of course many people do cook for their dogs, but the addition of meaty bones, other items and supplements would also need to be considered to make sure the diet contains everything needed for health.

Perhaps you could start another thread specifically on home-cooking, as I know this is a topic of interest for others on the forum? But obviously for people that visit this thread they will be expecting to find information on raw feeding...

Thank you!
Katie

PS: Just to reiterate to anyone new visiting the thread - NEVER FEED COOKED BONES!

ah I see! right in that case if you have de-boned them, feel free to feed in whatever combination! it doesnt really matter whether you feed along with the boney meal or not...

if its easier, and it suits your dog, you could feed as above, or even

AM one quarter

PM one quarter + two de-boned thighs etc

---------

Definitely sounds the right kind of quantity bone - you dont need to add more unless you find she has loose poops! Then you might want to add a little more bone (so perhaps leave the bone in one of the thighs - but be careful how she eats this as it will be quite small for her).

Be guided by her and how fast she adapts...if you find her poops are too dry and crumbly or she is straining, then this is too much bone and you would need to up the % of meat.
