Feeding raw meat to a DOG thread:
It is most important that you DO NOT FEED PREVIOUSLY FROZEN MEAT. Only feed “never been frozen” meat. Aajonus wrote: “When only frozen meat was fed to carnivores, they developed mange and other skin disorders, and sometimes scurvy”.

I have found dogs to be sensitive to frozen meat. They get itchy skin very quickly.
I had a friend whose dog had mange while she was feeding her a raw diet. We read the above quote and went straight out and bought never been frozen meat. The dog healed from mange in about 2 weeks! As a side effect the dog was far more satisfied, so much so that she stopped
her annoying begging while we ate!
Note: Most of Trader Joe’s meat has been frozen. Ask in any supermarket if it “comes in frozen”. If you ask if it has been frozen they do not necessarily understand because it isn’t frozen now..

This is approximately what I feed dogs:
80% meat, sinew, ligaments, fat (cheaper cuts are better. Always meat that has never been frozen)
10% edible bones (dogs can chomp up pork, chicken, lamb and small beef bones, like ribs)
10% organ meat

(heart is considered muscle not organ. I use mostly liver as it is hard to find other organ meat but it would be preferable to mix it up)
Green juice (¼-½ cup day depending on size of dog or if I don’t have any green juice I use chlorophyll drops from a health food store. I use 7 drops twice a day for a 60 lb dog, for example.)
Eggs (1 or 2 a day)
Raw Dairy, small amount (I use up my sour raw milk, cream or kefir and swish the empty containers with water to give my dogs)
Leftovers, small amount

Do not worry too much about the proportions.
ORGAN MEAT MUST BE ORGANIC!

Dogs fed raw do not smell bad the way their kibble eating relatives do, neither their bodies nor their breath.
Their poops are small, firm, easy to pick up and hardly smell. Their teeth and gums are clean and healthy.

“I’ve never met a dog who owns a stove”. Dogs are designed to kill and eat small animals raw, bones and all. On a raw diet your dog will definitely be happier and healthier. Give the dog a bone… a RAW bone!
