CanadianWolf Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 im feeding raw now but mostly chicken/turkey necks, chicken carcas (spelling bad i know), chicken wings and the odd piece of liver everyweek. with that i have been giving her some raw veggies and fruit blended together with some oil and raw eggs. the question is i see alot of raw feeders feeding just meat with no bones attached and i have read that all meat given should be a 2:1 or 1:1 meat to bone ratio. how would this work with just feeding meat? i have been limited on what i give her beacause of this. just chewable bones like the wings and necks.. i feel the need to spice it up already im sure i dont have to but it gets boring feeding the same stuff over and over any help would be sweet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any other time it's raw meaty bones or fish like sardines or mackeral, sometimes an egg. Chicken and turkey make up the basis of my dog's diet too and the majority of the RMBs they would eat. My dogs love white meat like chicken or turkey so they've not gotten bored yet Like you I feed a variety of cuts so chicken necks, frames, wings and turkey necks and wings. The next most common meat I'd feed is lamb, because it's readily available over here and inexpensive. You feed lamb necks, forequarters, shanks, flaps etc. You could also feed some muscle like brain.

Chewbacca_&_me Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 Hmmmm....so I guess my Chewie is not the only one who just doesnt care for Lamb! Good to know. I always thought that neckbones were dangerous because thats what I was taught...so its also good to know that it is ok to give him those parts. Thanks for the question and the posts. Very helpful.
