Raw Food Diet for Dogs

[blueyota]

I have been feeding my two malamutes raw for over a year and a half now.. It is they way to go it costs around 50 bucks a month..but the health benefits is the major plus my older pup Nico is 14 yrs old and when she was 10 she broke her leg on a hike... got her an operation and the vet says she wont be able to walk no more then a short distance for the rest of her life .... well she was right for a while then i started to feed them raw and about 6 months after i started nico could easily triple her old distance and now just the other day we hiked 10 kms mind you shes not a runner anymore but she keeps up ...with a smile !!!

I feed both dogs raw and notice an improvement overall in their appearance and energy levels. I don't feed any of the pre ground stuff, I feel they need to crunch through their food. I buy 44 pound cases of chicken carcasses, which is mostly back/neck with the rib cage attached. I supplement this with organ meat and whatever I find in the "about to expire" bin at the grocery store. $5pack of ground lamb for $4 off, is a pretty good deal. Today a hunter friend gave me a bag of venison, so I'll add that in as well. An egg once a week or so tops it off.
I don't add veggies, dogs don't normally produce the enzymes to digest cellulose materials, so just meats. An occasional fish as well, mackerel or salmon (freeze salmon first for 24 hours).
