What did your dog(s) eat today?

This morning Visa had venison meat and organs, the rest of her yogurt, BioVet Sport, and some tomato.

Yesterday they all had a chicken leg quarter and a pigs foot.

Today they had some fish. They'll be getting beef kidney and liver for dinner, and Buck will also get a chicken quarter.

I've been thinking about switching to raw, maybe once or twice a week, or one meal daily if I can afford it.


I pulled some Trout out of the freezer today, next time I'm going to tell them not to filet it when we catch it. They CAN eat the whole thing, right?

What else should I add to their Trout dinner? They will each get a filet each, but I'm not sure what else to add? I may just add it with a bit of kibble to see how they react. They are sometimes picky and turn their nose to new things.

My mom recently got a job at a meat market/deli and we have a fridge in the garage which the freezer is completely empty. I asked her to ask her boss if she can bring home any bones, livers, etc they may get.


I was thinking since I have Wednesdays & Weekends off it'd allow me more time to prepare meals for them, and those could be their raw days.

Yes they can eat whole fish.

Don't feed raw and kibble at the same time. Raw takes about 5 hours to digest compared to 15 for kibble, and you don't want raw getting "stuck" behind the kibble because it can cause digestive upset. You can feed raw in the morning and kibble at night, or vice versa.

Just be aware that fish can be kind of hard on their tummies at first, so loose stool will be normal until they adjust. Some dogs can't handle much fish. I would feed the fish alone at first so not to overwhelm their system.

Good luck!

Yes but would one filet of fish be enough for them?

I would imagine they'd still be hungry.

A filet is usually around 1/2 lb right? Mandy, Nova, and Luka all get fed 3/4-1 lb a day, so a filet is usually fed with something else. You could feed kibble in the morning but I really wouldn't feed other raw stuff right now, except maybe chicken. You want to gradually introduce new things into their diet or they are going to have a major tummy upset.

If you do want to feed all raw one day, I would add chicken to it or if you have more fish then add that. Chicken is very bland and a good meat to start with, dogs usually don't have much problem with it.
