Mariah Schafsnitz
Ratios
80% meat – legs, hearts, wings, gizzards, etc.
10% organ – liver, kidney, etc.
10% bone – chicken bone, turkey bone, any raw bone.
Feeding
When you first start, feed each meat week by week. Example:
Week 1 – chicken only.Week 2 – turkey only.Week 3 – beef only.
You can feed as many times as you want per day, but generally..
Puppies: 3-4 times per dayAdults: 1-2 times per daySmaller breeds should be fed
more often than larger breeds.
Dangers
Raw feeding has certain dangers – but so does kibble. Many dogs choke to death each year on random things – kibble, tennis balls, dog treats. The chance that a dog will choke on a raw bone is very small.
Bacteria isn’t a problem for dogs. They have the enzymes to handle it – besides, do you think they would cook their food in the wild? No. They eat it raw.
Benefits
Cleaner teeth Less “doggy smell” Natural Smaller stool Less vet visits No more dental
cleanings And more!
