Just been nebbing on the threads (not had internets for ages!) and it's got me thinking.

Raw is supposed to be really complicated?

All we are doing is feeding Oscar 2 "prize choice" frozen blocks a day, with an occasional Nature's Menu wet food pouch when we forget to defrost.

Am I doing it wrong?

If I remember correctly, isn't Prize Choice just meat only? To be balanced it needs to be 80% meat/10% bone/10% offal.

Check out the raw feeding sticky, also LexiLou's Raw Feeding Diary which is another very good sticky.

I'm about 6 weeks into feeding raw. Poppy is having Raw to Go's mince for brekkie (that is balanced 80:10:10) and for tea she has one of the following - chicken wings/drumstick/thigh/other chicken portion with bone in/sardines/chicken meat chunks/mackerel. I've just got some liver and kidney so that I can add a small amount in with her tea so I can keep the balance right.

If it's these you're feeding, they're not complete.

I hadn't seen those. OH just bought one pack of the chicken mince from a localish pet shop, which was all they had, when we first started experimenting with raw. Can't say we were impressed quality wise when comparing with Raw to Go.

Just looked at the ingredients list of the PC Complete, it doesn't mention bone?????????? OP, you'd need to make sure you include bone for other meals, crunching bones is good for dental health.
