borderfreak Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Hi, since Bo raised his paw for raw I threw the kibble away and get a bunch of rmb, meat, organs and fruits/veggies, too! It's raw-day no. 5 and he's going very well. That's what I have 'till now: Rmb: Lamb rips and backbone, calf knuckle bones and breast bones, lamb legs (with coat and hoofs!) Meat: Beef flesh Organs: Green tripe, liver, kidney, heart, larynx Fish: Salmon Fruits and veggies: Mostly a bunch of berries (Bo LOVES berries!), such as strawberries, blueberries, cranberries, rasberrys, currants. But also bananas, apples, pinnapples, carrot and gherkin. He also gets some of my leftovers. I feed the rmb, meat and organs in large pieces. It seems to be a real pleasure to Bo to tear and drag and chewing, chewing, chewing! Any suggestions what I can (or should) add? I could get so much more rmb, flesh and organs. Almost everything. I only can't feed him pork 'cause in here in Germany we have the risk for pseudorabies. Yummy, yummy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanillalove Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Chicken! The world would be a very sad place if there was no chicken for my Petey; he loves it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chesney's Girl Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Sounds like a pretty good diet plan to me! Just watch for constipation or crumbly poops, then you know you are feeding a little too much Bone and feet more meat Good job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewie'sMom Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Cool picture! I started Lewie on raw about 3 weeks ago and he loves it. Our main staple is chicken. Love the sound of him cruching up his meal. I'm slowly introducing more variety into his diet: organ meat, salmon, veggies, although he's not keen on broccoli. I think it was the right decision for him. Now I just use the kibble as treats. I wonder how long that new 40# bag will last? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Strickland Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 Hi ... I switched to RAW feeding 6 years ago. My dogs thrive on it. I've paid for complete bloodwork and they came back better than perfect. Energy levels are excellent and we've had absolutely no problems ( ears, eyes, joints, or anything ) in the 6 years. My dogs have been on a Prey Diet ( big pieces of meat and bone ) for 3 years now. Just make sure you give them organs ( about 5% of total food ) ... which to me is only 2 or 3 times per week.

borderfreak Posted May 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 Hey, Bo is still fine on his new diet! Digestion problems are completly gone! I follow pretty much tom lonsdale's recommendation of 70% raw meaty bones and the rest 30% flesh, organs and fruits/veggies. By the way - do I really have to make a mush of the fruits/veggies? Because Bo don't really likes it as mush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chesney's Girl Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 You can feed the veggies whole but thats the way they will come out, since dogs don't have grinding teeth to open the veggie skin up enough to use them Try freezing the much into ice cubes and see if that helps peak his interest.

borderfreak Posted May 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 Yeah, that's a good idea, since Bo loves his banana mush iced kong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
