Raw Feeding Thread

@DobieLover do you add vitamins, minerals, or anything in addition to the raw diet?

You've intrigued me... Now I'm going to pick you brain. I hope you don't mind. Once you've had enough tell me to shush

The steamed veggies and sometimes fresh fruit add vitamins and minerals. The raw bone and organ meat provides minerals as well.

The golden paste I give them is an excellent source of anitoxidants, the salmon oil is for Omega 3s and I also add the probiotics and digestive enzymes.

I have a variety of meats that I buy preground and blended. They include beef, chicken, turkey, salmon, pork and sometimes rabbit. I like the 80/10/10 blends because they are complete and I don't have to add the bone and organ meat. When I do need to add them, I've used beef kidney, chicken or turkey liver, beef lung and tripe. I like to feed the raw feet frequently enough to get the benefits of them chewing up the bones to clean the teeth but I also scale, polish and brush their teeth regularly.

I have one. I use it to make the cat food. It would be too much for me to make the dog food.

How do you store it after you make it?

I portion it out in about 2 days worth of food in snack bags and freeze it.

Can we possibly get this thread back up and rolling?
I recently switched our outdoor kitty to a semi-raw diet, trying to switch him completely over but it's a little hard when everyone else keeps putting the dry food out for him. I've noticed a change in his coat and a change in how much more energetic he is, despite being 6 years old.

I don't know if this counts, but I feed raw veggies to my rabbit.

Anyone else currently or going to be feeding raw to their dogs or cats?
