Guide to Raw Feeding

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

cleanings And more!
