I just started my dog on the diet, which he is loving so far. I have just been doing chicken and turkey necks so far. I also joined the group on yahoo and have been reading alot about it. It's a little confusing to me because some add vegetable and other stuff and others say not to. Do you just feed the meat or suppliment as well?

No veggies for my dogs,just meat,bone and organs.

It's great how Bob eats in that designated area. I tried raw feeding today and my dog takes it out of his bowl and takes it in the living room carpet. I have to buy some enclosures to keep my dog in the kitchen at least. Beautiful dog, by the way

It took him a while to learn to eat in one area.The easiest way is to just feed outside!No cleaning!

"Beautiful dog, by the way "

Thanks!

Where do you get your meat do just buy from the store or a special raw food place?

[1Addicted]

Right now i just buy from the grocery store,with chicken being the staple in his diet.He also Gets beef,pork and organ meat.

When i get my Great dane put that will change,I'm going to have to buy in bulk.

I think it is very healthy to feed canines small amounts of veggies AND fruits. But you need to ground them up in a food processor or blender because they don't chew them up enough to use the nutrients. The reasoning behind this is to mimic the small amounts of partially digested fruits and vegetables they would get from the intestines of animals they kill and eat in the wild.

Plus, it's kind of badass to have your dog gnawing on a dead carcass like that. I'd feel like a viking Chuck Norris if that was my dog.

My dog won't touch a raw bone. I've tried and tried and she won't even attempt to eat them unless I pan-fry it for her in the skillet. I only brown the bones for like a minute on both sides, and THEN she eats it. But if I give it to her raw, she'll only stare at it. What am I doing wrong????

Good for you for putting him on the raw food diet - he is loving that cornish game hen! I also find it quite hysterical that they call it the "BARF" diet, pronounced with a New England accent - very funny! How is Bob's progress? Seeing some good results?

Your turtles are so cute! Of course so is Bob....

[j0hnxjxrambo]

or you could hunt rabbits in the backyard and that'll save you some money.

[catchfree84]

where do you get the organs from ??

my knowledge is that theres no right or wrong on feeding vedges or not, as long as you dont feed them anything cooked. in the wild you dog would gobble the stomach of its kill which holds greens, and so their body, including their stomach is designed to digest them. some people think that therefore you should feed them, including me, but if you dont its no biggie, anythngs better than commerical pet food. my dog gets k9 natural food which is based on barf diet (i think)
