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?

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. <GIRLS&~1.PNG> -------Original Message------- From: Darlene Ashcraft Date: 8/22/2012 4:46:59 AM To: Chihuahuas Subject: Re: [Chihuahuas] Home made dog food {Disarmed} 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.

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 Sent from my iPad
