raw feeding

Hi there! So I'm going to try to make this as short as I possibly can but... It will probably still end up being long and drawn out lol.. I have two Boston Terrier pups, one is a puppy, the other is a juvenile. Their health is of the utmost importance to me, and food is especially important for...

I'm thinking about putting my dog (2 year old cattle dog mix) on a raw food diet. The more research I do into dog food and dog nutrition I am less and less comfortable feeding commercial dog food. So I am trying to get more information on feeding raw/ feeding homemade raw and am wondering if...

As usual, I'm probably overthinking this, but once I get moved to our new house in Oct and will then have a full-size extra freezer that I can use, I'd like to switch Cobber to raw. My question is, if he has an allergy to poultry in kibble, which is a cooked product, would this necessarily mean...

I have been feeding a raw diet since november, but I am having a lot of trouble with red meats. My dog has some serious sensitivities to beef, chicken and salmon (he will seizure). I started him on rabbit and he was on that for two months and he did very well on it. I add a new protein once a...

Hello all!! This is my first post! >.< Looking for some advice from experienced raw feeders who have raised puppies on raw. I have a 4mo old Doberman that I have transitioned to a raw diet. My concerns are with ratios- bone to be exact. I currently feed mostly meat,bone,organ mixes by blue...

So I have 2 chihuahuas on a raw diet and their 10% bone comes from raw chicken necks. These are the only type that are suitable as a meal (otherwise they overeat and throw up) that are also readily available in my small town. Ive tried lamb a few times but one dog gets major bowel problems from...

Hi Im just starting this thread in the hope that someone could give me ideas on how to get organs into my dogs raw diet. They will eat anything from chicken frames to green tripe and necks, however they will not touch the main types of raw organ (kidney/liver etc). The only organ they will eat...

So, we're finally switching from commercial dental treats to raw bones. We went to the Asian market yesterday, and walked out with some duck feet, "economy pork bones" and "chicken bones" (cleaned carcass - will also use some for dinner tomorrow). The pork bones are mostly vertebrae/ribs, and...

I've hit up local butchers and stores, but haven't found anywhere that will sell me supplies at a reasonable price. Though I read all over that it's supposedly easy to find very inexpensive raw material for dogs, the best I was able to find was around $8/day for each dog. This was based on the...

Hi, I'm new here and freaking out just a tad bit because there is an Akita at the Memphis animal shelter with heartworms... And my mom (I'm 17) doesn't want to let me foster her. Which was fine and dandy (as long as I had time to keep arguing my case) until I saw that she seems to be getting...
