Dog Food Info

this is the best way to go but this has to be way too expensive

If you don’t have deals on meat, then you will spend hundreds of dollars feeding raw if you have a large dog. Simple math. Dog weighs 130lbs, using only 2% gives 2.6lbs/day……1.3lbs of RMB, 10oz of Meat and maybe 4oz of organs. It’s the meat and organs that will bankrupt you. Chicken Quarters can be cheap….everything else….high as a cats’ ass. Look at her prices online and you’ll see.

Your dogs are great. My big ass Great Pyr takes his sweet time when he eats. Took him 45 minutes to eat half of a chicken.

Im gettin a new pup soon and this was very helpful and easy! Its like feeding little wolves lol

Thank you!

I also feed raw and it is great to see someone who knows how to do it right. This video is great; not only informative, but inspirational! It helps people see how easy it really is…

wow… those dogs really know how to eat..
i’m trying to switch to raw feeding. ^_^
hope i can get more info about it. ^^

Great to meet another raw feeder here on YouTube. What a wonderful pack you have.

they are hungry all the time! they can eat any type of meat - whole fish is pretty messy with the scales though!

Wow, those are hungry dogs!
Can they eat fish?

I’m not sure what kind of resources you have for meat, but you ARE spending a lot for dry food! If you are able to feed raw meats, you really will benefit your dog much more! Raw tripe DOES smell terrible, and the alternative is giving your dog preground green veggies instead. Dogs don’t have the enzymes to break down whole veggies, so they must be pulverized first. If you can find a meat market or discount grocery store that sells all parts of the animal, you can probably get some good prices!

Hmm… Thanks. Although I am in India, I end up spending a lot more on one dog than what you are spending on 4 dogs per month (feeding wise). I spend 50$ on Royal Cannin every month, 10$ on beef tripe (I keep it low since it stinks) and few more $ on wheat or rice. The tripe stinks, if I feed him raw tripe, wouldnt his mouth stink even more..

I am going terribly wrong somewhere, I am spending too much on his diet I feel after reading what you have written.

Raw prefer raw food only for our pack. We buy meat in bulk and pay about $0.50/lb. We feed about 120 pounds of meat a month (to four dogs and one cat). Research shows that dogs don’t digest grains very well, and our dogs don’t eat any at all. As for meats: chicken leg quarters are a staple in our house - they’re cheap and have a good bone/meat ratio. We also use beef or turkey heart as a staple. Tripe is good, but only if it’s unwashed and raw. Check out the “hepful links” page on my website!

I have a 16 month old dobe. I feed him Rice/Wheat + cooked beef tripe + Royal Cannin. I want to get him used to eating BARF. What body parts of chicken or Beef do you suggest to start off with? Isnt it too costly to feed all BARF?

Yeah, heart and liver are really bloody, so I like to use gloves when I have them. Plus..it’s good to show people the “proper” way to handle meat. =)

Wow you the only raw feeder I know who wears gloves when handling the meat.
