Hi just a newbie to the site.

I know there is alot of info on here about raw feeding but cant quite find what i am looking for. I have a 15 month old male sibe called Stan and he loves all meat. I want to start raw feeding him but dont know what to give him per meal e.g for each meal do i give him various different types of meat? and is bone neccessary for every meal? I am reading so many different things and getting confused and very agitated. Any help would be great.


Regards

You should probably start with chicken as the bones are easier to chew.

"Prey model diet is a very balanced and, in my opinion, an easier way to do a raw diet than BARF. The veggies aren’t needed at all. The diet consists of 80% meat, 10% bone (always raw, never ever cooked), and 10% organs. Of those organs, 5% must be liver and the other 5% is a secreting organ such as kidney, pancreas, reproductive organs, thymus, etc. Heart and gizzards count as muscle meats. You start off feeding 2-3% of your dogs weight. "

"Chicken is a great place to start. You want to feed mostly meat with a little bone when beginning a dog on raw so start with Cornish hens, chicken quarters, or bone-in chicken breasts. Some people start off with bone-in chicken thighs, especially if you have a dog that tends to have loose stools. The extra bone content in the thigh helps to keep the stools firm during this transition time. Chicken is a protein that is easily digested, readily available, and not expensive. A great starter meat. Be sure and get UNENHANCED chicken. Lots of chicken has "broth" or a salt solution pumped into it to make the chicken more tender. If it says enhanced with a 10% solution, skip it. You want just plain old chicken. Read the label. You want the sodium level to be about 80mg for a 4 ounce portion." - Valerie
