What do you think about marrow bones I give Murfee these when i go out as i don't use kongs some people say bad for their teeth but i don't want to leave him with nothing at all.  Did so 2day as I'd run out and he ripped up the local newspaper when it came thru the door - has never done this before don't really want to leave him unsupervised with any other bones what do u think?

Could people possibly post their exact meal plans with meats/veggies and the amounts and days? Sorry to be such a nuisance but it makes a lot more sense to me when I can go by what someone else does!

Also, does anyone fast for a day?

Yes they can damage teeth especially if you have an aggressive chewer. If your dog isn't an aggressive chewer then they'll do fine on marrow bones. These recreational bones though provide physical and mental stimulation, and also provide significant dental benefits. If feeding marrow bones, scoop the majority of the marrow out of the bone as it's fatty and rich and could cause stomach upset.

For aggressive chewers knuckle bones are better.

I meant to say never leave a dog unsupervised with bones. Have you tried kong toys?

This is a typical weekly haul from my butcher. The boys have 2 carcasses and a couple of wings or a back each every day. There will be bits of liver and kidney attached within the frame. Occasionally they will have neck and ribs of lamb or beef ribs, but their main diet is chicken.

That is one big haul of chicken lol

Ha ha - I know - every Sunday morning we make our pilgrimage to the butchers and  then I spend the next hour bagging it into portions for the freezer, watched intently by the boys!!!  Thanks so much for starting the group Rita.  I think it will be wonderful support for those who are keen to start but hesitant and a great platform for regular raw feeders to share ideas and advice.   It's one of those topics that many people have very negative - almost aggressive opinions on so a group of like minded people is most welcome!!!!  : )

I think raw is the best food we can feed our dogs, if I put a bowl of dried food and raw down I know what my dogs will pick :)

I have one young bitch who has been fed Natural instincts since 7 months old as she had a terrible appetite but I would like to feed all of mine a raw diet so have joined so that I can pick up some tips on how to prepare my own food for them
