how manny of you feed raw

[Koa96727]

just seeing how manny feed raw if so. how much and what

[Reuben]

I supplement a little with raw meat...but mostly as a treat and a raw bone usually comes with it to clean and excercise the jaw muscles and gums...but 100% raw or even cooked meat probably is not a balanced diet for a dog.

I have fed raw deer but mostly try to boil meats to kill any parasites

Freeze any wild meat for 48 hours. I have fed raw chicken quarters for years. I also feed chicken hearts ,beef fat,fish and beef liver a few times a month. I feed 11-12 pounds a day to 11 dogs and one cat. Three dogs are house dogs. I will put their nutrition level up against any others. 75% less poop. Little to no smell. You can't beat it. I am paying .59 per pound for my chicken. 20% of adult weight in meat is a good starting point. Raw chicken bones are fine for them to eat. Do not cook or boil the meat,raw means raw. The only down side is that I have to have a fridge in my shed just to use for dog food. Also you get some looks at Walmart when you walk out with 200 pounds of chicken in the cart. Pm me your number if you want some more info. I wash out my concrete kennels one time a week. Mainly to wash the pee out. Try that feeding dry food.

I disagree with the above comment about cooking the meat first, that is a big no no if there are any bones in there. And even if there are no bones, why cook it? It's better for the dogs RAW. I feed a prey model diet to my dogs and have for about 8 months now. I saw a drastic difference in the way my dogs looked and acted. So many benefits it would take me paragraphs to list them all but I recently acquired a 13 month old dog and her teeth looked awful. She looked as if she had been fed huge piles of shyt her whole life, literally. After eating my RAW diet that I feed the dogs for just one week, her teeth was shining like brand new pearls, I kid you not. Wish I would have took a picture of her teeth when I got her so I could show before and after pictures but I had no clue her teeth would come clean like they have. Not only have I saw a big improvement in her teeth but she looks ALOT better also IMO. I don't ever see myself not feeding a RAW diet, no matter how many dogs I feed.


When she got here on kibble...



20 days later on RAW and regular exercise...

Looks pretty much the dame from the picture?

[Lacy man]

Same* sorry

[hogmantx1979]

Same just different angle

[Treezbulldogz]

I can respect someones opinion, although I strongly disagree. I'm not here to bash kibble feeders by no means, I used to feed it. But if you can't see a healthier dog in the few examples I have posted then we just don't agree on what a healthy dog looks like. There's also dramatic differences I've noticed like skin issues, hair shedding, size/smell/consistency of dog waste, higher energy levels, etc... so it's not just one benefit that I've noticed, it's been multiple benefits. It obviously isn't for everybody, it does take more prep time. But you"ll easily get that time back in saved time cleaning up waste. To each his own.


Arrived...

My dogs do the best on raw. I cut and quarter my pigs hair bone and all then freeze it. I can tell the biggest difference in the heat. Dry kibble takes a lot of moisture to digest and can dehydrate your dog on hot days. Raw being 70% or more moisture is much easyer on your dogs system on hot days. The down side of raw is its a pain to keep up with, and some dogs that have never shown any sign of food aggression towards others dogs can be very aggressive when given raw. That just tells me even the dog knows it's better for them. My raw food cost is zero since I feed the pigs I kill. I don't feed big boars but feed everything else that looks healthy. Hears a video series made by a vet if you are on the fence about feeding raw.

Cantex I'm confused when you say %20 of adult weight is a good starting point that'd be 10 lbs to a 50# dog...nvr mind I just realized u meant %2?

[dodgegirl]

Raw is the way to go! My dogs love it. & they do great on it

[Bigboy84]

1 leg quarter and and 1 small coffee can of victor 24/20 works fine for me

Sorry. 2% of adult weight. So a puppy that is expected to be 50 pounds should get one pound of raw from the beginning.

So you folks that feed chicken quarters. Yall feed it bone and all? I always thought dogs cant eat chicken bones cause that crack and can choke easy??? Is this a myth?
