RAW bones don’t splinter. There is a world of difference in giving raw and
cooked bones. Cooked bones is a no-no, raw bones are a yes-yes

I never give dogs chicken bones whole they splinter too easily. I think if you
want to give your dogs chicken bones they should be ground.

Rebecca what I would like to see is a week worths of a raw diet from
scratch. I would like to see and understand the exact amount of food that is
fed to a chi. I don't understand the percentage bit, so giving the amount in
ounces and cups per pound of dog weight, makes it easier for me to understand.
I would also like to know what the percentage of protein and fat is contained
lets say in half a cup of a chopped up raw chicken breast.
Can you buy and give packaged meats from the super market just the way
they are? I have asked this question before about the raw bones and no one ever
seems to answer it. What type of raw bones and do you give, do you just give a
whole bone from the package or do you have to have it ground up and added to
the raw meat.? Do you grind up the raw meat, or just give it to them, lets say
like a small chicken breast, or a small pork chop, or a chunk of raw steak?

Honestly raw is a thousand times easier than cooking food.

I found that interesting to. Maybe because not enough research
has been put into it to find wholesome balanced meals. You would think that
someone would jump on it since there has been so much talk about the food
companies, and not everyone can handle the raw diet.

I'm interested in a raw diet for my Chi but I think I will start
with cooked. I'm not sure how to keep raw meat on hand without it going bad. I
don't own a car and don't get to the grocery more than once a week. I find it
interesting that vets believe in Raw diets. I haven't seen anything saying vets
are for cooked diets.

My Chi eats raw, 80% meat 10% bone raw only, never ever cooked
bone, 5% liver, 5% other organ. He has been raw fed for over a year and does
wonderful on it! No point in feeding plant matter to dogs, they cannot digest
it, it simply passes through and lays on your grass. My raw fed Danes poo a
tiny bit once a day, that's because they use what they eat. Even my vets are
now pro-raw 8)Rebecca Bate
