He gets between 4-5 pounds per day. He was realllly skinny (ribs and hip bones were extremely noticable) so we feed him more. I usually feed him 4 pounds, but he gets extra every couple of days. I didn't realize that he had almost 6 pounds of food today!

Beef: 2 3/4 pounds
Chicken: 1 pound
Turkey Wings: Roughly 2 pounds

He is doing GREAT with 4-5 pounds per day. His tummy actually looks full after he eats, before it was so sunk in. The vet said he is at a good weight now and to keep feeding him like we are.

It's been so hectic lately, most meals my dogs are just getting chicken quarters & halves with some organs. An occasional tuna, salmon or mackeral dish is added in here or there, usually with cottage cheese and egg.

They are getting beef though tonight.

Wow, 4-5 pounds? That's more than my dogs get combined

Yesterday they all had a chicken quarter for breakfast. Buck had beef heart and brisket for dinner.

This morning the Labs had pork ribs for breakfast, but Mandy refused to eat. She's not eating well lately, I'm going to get her bloodwork done today to make sure she's okay.

Last night, the fur kids had salmon, raw egg with shell and some cottage cheese. Every night at 6:30 they are bouncing around waiting for dinner. They absolutely love the raw diet.

Sarah, I hope everything is ok with Mandy plese keep us posted on her.

Just wondering how much you feed your dogs daily? Between the 4 of mine they get about 4-6lbs. (Kaige & Indy about a 1-1.5 each, Nanook about 1.5, Raustyk about 1.5-2

I hope nothing serious is wrong with Mandy. Keep us posted please, she's in my thoughts.

Last night my gang ate:
ground beef
assorted beef organs
egg & shell
pork
some carrots (had to use them before they go bad)

Kaige & Raustyk had a little bit of chicken left over from the chicken halves they ate for breakfast yesterday.

This morning they had pork

Tonight will be assorted beef pieces, ground, organs, stew meat & steaks.

Nova and Mandy are fed around .75 lbs per day, they are both a little overweight and not losing (another reason I'm having Mandy's bloodwork done, Nova's was done recently and checked out fine) but are fed less to not gain. Luka gets around one pound a day, and Buck gets around 1.25-1.5 pounds a day. I guess that is around 4 lbs a day for everyone.

Thanks everyone for the well wishes for Mandy.

I talked to a friend of mine at work and come to find out she has a bunch of "leftovers" in her freezer and didn't know what to do with them. Of course I volunteered to take it! So far we've gotten beef tongue (too expensive at the grocery so I've never feed it), ox tail and and beef liver and are hoping to get a bunch more meat that they've had in their freezer for a while (even venison).
Why didn't I think to ask anyone this sooner

Free meat is the best!

Ohhh and next month we are going to be buying a half of a cow, we'll get all the leftovers too! I'm excited!

So far everyone is doing wonderfully and loving their raw food

I've been reading a lot and found out that you should feed pieces as large as their head to keep them from choking and/or gulping their food.
I had bought some chicken legs on sale and gave them but they just gobbled. Does anyone else have gobblers?

I see a lot of you feed tripe. Do you order it? I've never seen anything around here except for the bleached tripe they have at the grocery and I know that's of no nutritional value.

I guess I could put what I've fed today...

Bon-Whole Chicken
Roxey & Huney-Chicken quarters

LOL! You would never know he eats that much daily since he is still pretty thin and not gaining alot of weight. He is finally up to 90 pounds, but I don't know where all that weight is!
