I'd like to know how you are able to grind the stuff up really well.. Especially if there are bones like chicken or pork in there... And would you feed raw pork? I'm a little nervous about that...
My grama used to bake 'dog bread' out of cracklin's and wheat flour and stuff... Never got her recipe. Fed over a dozen hounds as they did a lot of hunting and sold skins for extra money... Olden days.

A GOOD breeder will want to stop fast growth in any pup. the ripping and chewing involved in eating raw meaty bones develops the jaw, neck, and shoulder muscles of the dog. Commercial dog foods will never assist in this important muscle development. http://www.rawlearning.com/rawfaq.html http://rawfed.com/myths/switch.html From: Lynda <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, January 23, 2012 3:52 PM Subject: Re: [Chihuahuas] Question on food Hi Rebecca - what are the advantages, in your opinion, of raw feeding vs. kibble? We have many clients that feed raw - but I've never had the leasure of time to chat with them about their choice. Just curious.

Take chicken out of bag, drop it on the floor, watch your babies eat..... the end! The only caution I would give on cooked meals for your dogs, make sure they are getting the needed amount of calcium. My Chi is getting ground today, ground cow, ground chicken bones, with organs added. You would think all of his christmases and birthdays come at once when I set his bowl down. Oh and he will take down any Dane who comes too close lol and they don't press the issue after that. Funny to watch that!

Now I usually use hamburger, but I have a large amount of frozen chicken drumsticks. I was planning to thaw and then boil the chicken until the meat falls off the bones. I can use the broth to flavor my “kids” kibble and then add the meat to my mixed veggies for a kind of chicken stew. I might even try to see if the cat kids would like some. Got any advice? Should I add rice or noodles or not? Judy Moon, a prayer warrior for Christ "May grace and spiritual peace be yours from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ."
