Changing To Raw

Okay So I Have Read Quite A Bit And Talked To Mom And We Are Thinking Of Changing Him To A Raw Diet , So He Has Been On Pedigree All His Life Pretty Much And He Is Fit And Healthy Coat Is Shiny ECT But Raws More Natural And Theres So Much Grains In Kibble And Everything .. So Im Wondering How Much To Feed Him ? What Kind Of Meat Exactly ( Im A Real Animal Lover ALL Animals So I Would Prefer Not To Feed Him Things Like Chicken HEADS .. Mince Meat And Things Are Okay But I Dunno I Guess I Will Have To Get Over It .. ) ? Do I Slowely Introduce Him To Raw ?

Thank You

Re: Changing To Raw

No need to slowly do it , you can just swap him over , try easy meats to start that wont be too rich such as chicken and turkey , try getting it minced with the bone from the carcas or just raw whole wings ect , then introduce other meats such as beef , and lamb and dont forget the odd portion of fruit or veg pulped is best as it digests better ensuring the dog gets as much from it as possible . work on a rough 2-3 % of his body weight to feed as a daily amount our girls weigh about 29 kilo so we started on 600 gms a day split into 2 meals i then dropped it to 500 gms as we need them to loose a bit of weight and they are doing great on it , we give just meat in the morning and on the evening we give meat and a veg pulp that i do at the start of the week and bag it into portions and freeze it , just make sure its defrosted before you give it to him , veg can be almost anything , i do carrot and cabbage sometimes spinach , also brocolli , and peas . most green leafy veg is great avoid onion and mushrooms and sweetcorn .
