I don't want to steal Patti's thread.
I have my Ultimate Diet book that I have been reading. It mentions veggies and also Kelp and alfalfa powder to mix in with the dogs raw diet.
Most of you on your menu list aren't using them. Is there a reason?
Where can I get Powdered Alfalfa and kelp? as that is what the book says to mix in.
Vitamin c? What are your thoughts.
Duck? Is it to fatty?
Most of the meat I get has been previously frozen or comes still frozen.
Rabbit and Venison I would get from a nearby hunter/friend. What is best to try to get from the deer? I don't want to take the best from the hunter... but the stuff that most people leave behind, like the heart and liver, ribs.
My list of MM and RMB are:
Whole fryer chickens
Chicken livers/hearts
Chicken thighs/wings/drums
Cornish Game Hens
Duck
Rabbit
Venison
Beef ribs
Lake fish
Sardines (canned and fresh)
ground beef
Veggies vary wildly but I thought adding garlic would be good and of course pumpkin. Can I make my own pumpkin in the fall?
Oils? I am a little lost on this one! Saffron oils, olive oils, cod oils...
I give my 3yo fish oil from the pharmacy. Don't know what kind of oil it is but it helps with brain function.
I'll buy a scale to help measure stuff. I also already have something for mashing the veggies. Was thinking about buying a meat grinder but not sure I really need it.
How well do the Ziploc freezer bags hold up?
What about traveling with a pet on Raw? Like for vacation.
Eventually we will be moving back to the states. And having the dogs on RAW worries me when it is time to move. If I go to TX then I have a friend there who can help me while we look for a place or wait for one to open.
I think that is it for now. So much to think about!
Oh! I do understand 2 lbs per dog no matter the weight. That does help when trying to figure out how much to feed.
