Re: Feeding Raw: How to Know He's Eating the Raw Bone Correctly?

I'm a firm believer in getting the majority of calcium from bones.

My reasoning is that the tearing of the meat/muscle and chewing the bones provides a great workout and provides the needed calcium. This is why I'm not a big fan of whole eggs used as a primary calcium source or pre made raw diets with ground bone. Not to mention, the premade raw diets are a toss up as to what type and quality of meat is used and can get expensive to feed a larger dog. That being said, there are lots of people feeding their pets pre-made raw with good results.

Eggs are great and Brutus would eat one with every meal not to mention it is hysterical to watch him crack a whole egg. I consider eggs a supplement and it's really the only supplement I use.

Ask lots of questions!!

I would strongly suggest reviewing the links that angelbunny posted. You will find a plethora of information. Extreme opinions abound, as with any other topic, so be prepared to determine what works best for you and your dog.

Good Luck!
