raw poll

[GreyhoundGirl]

While we are on the subject: I've noticed lots of people feed raw. Why? I've heard all the great things. But wouldn't it be lacking some vitamins? Why raw? why not cook the meat? it would have the same things in it.

why not cook the meat? it would have the same things in it.

Actually, cooking the meat removes most of the nutrients and vitamins in raw.

Yes, bones do help clean the teeth.
Although Anna is right, meat is the most important part of the diet, the do however need some bone & organs. Some dogs systems are more sensative than others. Therefore some dogs can eat a lot of boneless meat with no ill effects, most will get the runds though. But too much bone can cause constipation in most dogs.
I agree, I would start off with a whole chicken (remember to remove the bag that the organs are in inside the chicken) or chicken quarters, bone & all.
