Question, I just started giving my husky raw food, I gave her raw chicken and she went and buried them, I watched and I seen her eating on it later, but why did she bury it lol

Some dogs just like dirt or they want to save it until they can eat it in a place they are more comfortable. It's also possible that she's just not hungry at the time or she even is unsure about the texture and needs time getting used to it and the dirt helps. Sometimes lightly freezing helps if it's a texture thing or if you really don't want her to bury it then you may feed her inside or in a kennel so that she can't take it elsewhere to eat it. For the most part her burying it isn't a problem and you shouldn't worry. She may quit once she gets more used to it.

Are you going full raw or just adding a little raw along with her kibble?

Thanks for the reply, I'm doing both, I'm thinking of going that route to give her options

Yea, the bury thing...Ami gets a frozen raw bone a day.  The ribs and tbones her gnaws immediately.  Anything else gets buried.  And he knows exactly where :p he'll come back either later that day or in the next day or two, unbeaten it and then gnaw on it.  I've read that is so the soil organisms and enzymes have a chance too break down the tissue. Easier too eat or digest.

Nice to know ;-)

Just make sure if her daily food intake is more than 20% raw that you are balancing it. That's making sure the raw meal is 80% meat (working up to having a few different types of meat), 10% bone, 5% liver, 5% other organ like kidney. If feeding less than 20% then just giving a leg or a chunk of steak without the organs is fine.
