Advice from all you RAW feeders. - Page 1

 I,m getting ready to switch my dogs to complete RAW feeding, question. My butcher has on his saws a fine paste made of bone and marrow from cutting would this be benificial for additiion to there food?. it is primarley beef with some pork I can get it for free.  

I do not feed raw, and could be wrong, but I know from working at a vet clinic that a lot of dogs have problems digesting pork.

I've had no issues feeding pork.

See, said I could be wrong haha.

I also work for a vet he recommends no pork fat can cause pancreatitius, I would check amount of fat. I do know in our prescription diets k/d c/d  it contains pork fat but this is also processed..

Some dogs digest pork many get very very hard stools so I would not use it very often

You're smart going raw. Flesh, bone and organ...you can do some research on finding a balance, but my guess is you will develop your own recipes based on what's avail to you, what you can afford and what your dog likes. My pup is indiscriminate, but raw chicken quarters with skin and bones make the bulk of his caloric intake. I grind nothing; even feed frozen so he can work his jaws. A little cooked fish and a few drops of human grade cod liver oil.  Raw, frozen beef soup bones with marrow for chewing. I add raw eggs and plain Greek yogurt too. I am not versed with feeding raw pork though.

There are an abundance of fruits, herbs and vegetables you can mix in in small amounts- just do your research. I think a general understanding of the raw diet coupled with some common sense (and keeping your dog trim and fit)is more important than trying to apply a scientific formula that has you fretting over each ingredient and amount.

Hey Bob,
I put that stuff on my B.L.T. sandwiches.
Good eatin'!!!

Hope all is well!
Do it in moderation, should be okay!

What is left on the saw is mostly fat. I would pass. My grandfather was a butcher, my father was a butcher, my uncle was a butcher. All had their own stores, all worked in slaughter houses at one time but my dad hated that! Ironically our dogs didn't eat raw but had a bone here or there....

   Moderation

   I would pass on the  buzz saw meal...no telling


    I would just feed raw pork bones...same as beef ones...I feed all of it..
    My butcher is the head of Brookshires Meat distribution and did have his own cows..he is retiring and he sold all cows.

  so  I just get deer meat now from him

   Use same percaution you would if you were eating it..

   BUT do add all the extras as you go during the week...raw egg(whole thing) brown ones from yards..not store bought.

   Also broth off of  your veggies without salt... too much fat is bad for pancreas...so is all that kibble with crap in it.

   so is fritos, hot dogs, potato chips, dr. pepper, colas, and most cereals with high fructose corn syrup..and the list goes on and on

  RAW  veggies for us are better than cooked ones...so there we go
