Why freezing of the meat, is it to kill off organisms?
This RAW diet seems different than the home cooking way, I've looked briefly at the home cooking diet and that one seems to combine all the food groups like we would eat, veg., dairy, and meat ...where this diet seems to focus mainly on protein, I was a little surprised by that....
I will be looking at all the links posted in this thread...Thanks for all the great info on this subject.... |
I feed some organic meat, but not all. Depends, really the same as I would buy for myself. I also have a raw feeding supplier who gets me things that I wouldn't usually be able to find at butchers such as green tripe, turkeys necks etc.
I prefer salmon oil/fish body oil because flax is from a vegetable source, it can make some dogs itchy as they have trouble converting converting the ALA into DHA/EPA.
Freezing for 48 hours or more kills off any neosporum caninum that may be present. Its incredibly rare though.
It is different to homecooking yeah, RAW really focuses on what they would eat in a natural setting, what their bodies find easiest to digest and what food brings them the nutrients they need without supplementation.
