LOL - but do you eat Raw!? - you did say your dog likes your food. They get everything they need from Raw [Chihuahuas site] - check out the Raw websites. When they eat the bones they get the calcium and the meat offers everything else. I think it's 80% meat 10% bone & 10% organ meat. You don't have to feed it all each time but over the week the balance should be that. Organ meats are rich so only a little.
Veggies are not necessary but it is still a controversial subject. Raw Veggies need to be really torn up to open the plant cells so the dog gets the nutrition. I've read that pumpkin - not pumpkin pie filling - is a good vegetable to have around to help the intestines clean - either from constipation or diarrhea. Lots here who feed this way - I don't even have a dog yet!! - just an avid researcher. Good luck - it will be interesting hearing how it goes. ________________________________ From: Kavi <[email protected]> To: Chihuahuas <[email protected]> Sent: Wed, November 17, 2010 2:54:22 PM Subject: [Chihuahuas] OK, lets talk Raw Feeding again... Hi everyone I know we have about exhausted the raw feeding talk. I want to start feeding Ricky Raw. He likes our food so much that I am waisting money on dog food. So I would just like a very simple recipe for Ricky. I do not want to grind up food. I just want to mix like raw beef, turkey, or chicken, the livers etc with veggies and whatever else. what about vitamins? He will get all the vitamins he needs in raw? A meat, livers, veggies? and what about the raw bones? can I just put them in a baggie and use a hammer and crush them? I can read about raw feeding online, but who better to ask than the ones who do it here! Thanks shanna
