To all the raw feeders out there. What foods do you feed? What do you find goes down best? What krafty tips can you pass along to other raw feeders? Etc etc etc.

For muscle meat I feed chicken wings, legs, breasts, lamb chops and legs, turkey legs and beef mince and steaks.

For organ meat I feed lamb liver, heart and kidneys and chicken livers.

I find raw beef mince is brilliant for filling kongs.

Most of of the muscle meat I feed contain bones but when it's possible I also get knuckle bones.

I have found that lamb goes down best of all. They all love it and stools are perfect everytime so they get lamb the most out of all the meats.

While the pups will eat virtually any raw meat Milo can be quite picky and if he knows there's lamb defrosting he will refuse to eat chicken or turkey so I now have to be clever and not let him see the lamb come out the freezer.

why not stick to one type of raw meat!? and only change it for another meat one day of the week??? as to much chopping and changing does make them a picky eater !

Because on this diet you have to give them all these different meats so they get all the things they need from it.

Alan, do you give them fruit and vegatables too?

Agreed! It's no good feeding the same thing day after day as they get different nutrients from different animals and different body parts, a varied diet provides a more balanced diet in the long run!

Yeah I do, I blend a whole load of whatever is in the fridge at the time and mix it with beef mince. Only feed veg about 2-3 times a week though. I also give natural pro-biotic yoghurt 3 times a week.

Do you feed all your dallies on raw then??

I dont feed raw but I know you do have to give them a varied diet when feeding it. Garry you should look up barf/raw diet and see why they have to have all different meats in their diet

Hi, just an observing cat owner, but if we eat raw meat we run the risk of salmonella, is it not the same for dogs??

Interesting to hear views on raw feeding, i don't feed raw.

I feed mainly Beta complete mixed with fresh meat from the butcher which i flash roast.

Yes, but to a far lesser degree! Dogs digestive system's aren't the same as ours and are much better equiped to kill off bacteria like salmonella.
