| Re: Feeding Raw: How to Know He's Eating the Raw Bone Correctly? We've been feed raw for about 6 years, first to Marley and now to buddy. We don't use whole chickens only necks and backs. We also feed ground beef, canned fish, one whole silver bass my son caught the other day from the river in our backyard. He loved it and had no problems, he ate every part except the fins, gills and mouth. Here is the whole diet we feed:
the whole fish was more to see if he'd eat it, but we're beginning to think he'll eat anything we put in front of him. Also we had never had either one chock on something and when it comes out it's fully digested, no bones in poop.
Morning Meal
1 pound meat
(heart, tongue), organ (liver, small amt. of kidney) and tripe.
4 oz. Fish (Canned Mackeral)
1 Egg (Raw with shell)
1 TBSP Veggie Glop*
*Spinach, Broccoli, Carrots, Sweet Potato & Apple daily,
plus whatever else is in season ie. berries, squash...
1 TBSP Yogurt
1 TBSP Soaked Oats
1 tsp Oil (Rotated between Wild Salmon Oil & Hemp oil)
1 tsp Raw Honey
1 tsp Kelp
1 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar
Evening Meal
1-3 Large Chicken Backs (Raw)
Recreational Bones
Beef Femur Bones (Raw) - daily for growing pups,
two to three times weekly for adults
We usually buy everything on Saturday and take a bit of time to mix things and divide it up into individual meals and freeze. I checked into getting the ground meat at a local slaughter house/meat packers and he gave me the mane of the place he gets his chicken so I can order the back directly from them. I'm going to start buying in bulk 30 - 40 LBS at a time instead of at the grocery store.
