Digi, Charlie & Cam all get raw. Digi has been on it for over 4yrs, Charlie 1.5years+, Cam 4years. I currently buy my meat at a Halal butcher shop near by. Its cheap, busy, clean & friendly. They give me free lamb/goat bones (no beef as it'll kill Digi) for the dogs to enjoy as a treat.
I offer veggies once a month (just a frozen mix), and they get raw organ tissue once a week as a meal. They also get a day off from eating anything they have to chew, so just a few eggs. This helps to empty the bowels of all the bone they eat during the week. Just to make sure they don't get over loaded with bone.
Its best to feed raw at bedtime so the dog will go to sleep shortly afterwards. This allows the digestive system to digest at a normal pace. If the dog is super active right after a meal (bone is the issue), the digestive system will try to rush the process and that would allow the undigested bone into the intestines where it cannot be broken down properly. That can cut the intestines if a piece happens to be really sharp. Raw is a lot less sharp then cooked, but who whats to risk it? I sure don't.
Hope that helps some![]()
