raw feeding

All i feed is chicken backs and dog bloom supplement one week
and the next week i feed ground beef and dog bloom suplement the next and been doing this for years and have some very good looking health dogs

all this over what you feed if it works for you do it if not oh well

 

just chicken backs and supplements I would think the dog is not receiving the nutrition he/she really needs in the end. Exactly how many years have you been doing this?

 

yes that all some beef and liver to but you have to look at whats in the dogbloom supplement before you can say that. It has everything a dog needs, my dog are very healthy and there coats lokk top notch

so once you look into dogbloom tell me what you think

 

damn......... I feed raw because I can do it at 1/2 the cost of premium kibble and that's all I need to know, hehe, no wild dogs get full nutrient's in their daily diet anyway.............go raw, save $$ and stick it to the bastards feeding corn and wheat to a canivore

 

he looks dhydrated

 

Sorry to bring up an old thread but instead I figured I would add to this one.

I feed raw it mainly consists of
-80% meat
-10% bone
-10% organ 5% of that being liver

The percentages may be more or less depending on your dog just check their stool for the correct form. This is what is the most helpful for me.

I feed
Chicken-
Whole chickens
Chicken breast bone in
Boneless chicken breast
Chicken wings
Chicken necks
Chicken feet
Chicken hearts and gizzard

Turkey-
Turkey necks
Turkey legs

Pork-
Pork necks
Pork liver

Beef-
Chunked beef
Beef hearts
Beef liver

Venison-
1 whole deer deboned this includes
Organ meat such as lung and liver

Rabbit-
White tail skinned whole

Fish- either whole, heads, or parts
Asian Carp
Bass
Bullhead
Catfish
Crappie
Trout
Walleye

This gives you a look of the variety I feed. The venison I process my self along with the rabbits and fish I've both got from Mother Nature. Pork is pretty expensive so I only feed necks because that are 90% bone and that is only once in a while for a good teeth clean/jaw workout. The fish has been all locally caught and I've made sure the waters were safe for human consumption. I do reccomend freezing any wild meat at least 30 days at the lowest temp. To call parasites.

Once I get my house I am going to look into buying either meat lambs, goats or any hogs and process these animals my self this helps save money and feed less store bought. I also want to add a bit more variety in my dogs organs I plan on getting some kidney and green tripe.

I supplement with 1 dose of salmon oil per day for the omega 3's and 6's and also 1 dose of glucosamine chondroitin.

 

Good insight I didn't know you had to change up meat sources. I started with beef for 6 months now I do chicken and eggs. But I will change that up now and go with a variety.

 

I also feed taste of the wild.

 

Yes...the variety does them good in my opinion as I done that myself for many years now!
I have my meat sources for which I buy in bulk(Chicken, beef, & turkey), plus I also watch out for meat sale ads at places like Food City, Farmers Market, & places like that...that carry other various meat sources(pork necks, pork tails, ox tails, & ect.) Pretty much what all is listed above, with the exception of fish as I never really got into feeding fish much!

 

I read you want to feed at least 3 different proteins. 4 is really good. My meals are kind of like this 3-4 chicken feet 1lb chunked beef or venison. A few gizzards or frozen liver treats. You cover the ratios and it's easy. Other meals like rabbit or fish I feed whole with just the meat and bone sometimes add organ. Normally I don't feed much chicken except when it goes on sale 70cents a lb for chicken hindquarters now. I'll feed hindquarters with some organ meat. Hopefully gonna buy a live lamb or goat and process that my self for another protein source that is cheap.

 

What are the opinions on goat meat

I think its because different types of meats =different tips of vitamins and different amounts of protein +youre dog will get board of the same thing every day

 

Goats meat is great it is nice and lean.

 

Thinking about farming chickens and rabbits to feed mine.... i couldn't think of any easier to maintain.... Any suggestions?

Sincerely Yours, Cajun

 

Lean meat is fine for dogs, goat meat is also a high source of protein. Some meat cuts are really fatty and lean ones are a good way to balance that out. I am not recommending you feed just lean goat meat I am aware that they need fat for energy, also goat is kind of stinky the dogs will love it.
Variety is they key to feeding raw.
btw If you can source the goat and all its innards all the better.

 

get a jug of salmon oil... theres your fat! you also have manteca lard...beef tallow... theres ways to replace fats.

 

they were saying that goat meat is too lean, so is rabbit.... but that can all be fixxed with a jug of salmon oil...
