Well, honestly, I don't really think about weighing, I feed to condition. One wing or breast with ribs would probably be 1 of 2 daily meals for him, or a couple of table spoons of boneless meat or 2-3 of his bitesized peices of organ meat. Some raw egg is often appreciated, I mix it with meat. Also if you want you can give live/natural/plain yogurt, a couple of spoonfuls, mine adore it.

So once a day feeding (with training treats mixed in - if those are ok to mix with raw?) should be ok with him. Should I weigh and portion out the 3 oz or just leave a few wings on the floor (supervised, of course!) and let him decide? |
Treats wise, go easy on any treats with grains in. There are quite a few grain free treats you can give, such as dried or freeze dried meats. I would advise feeding him twice daily.

I will be calling butchers in the area this week, but I expect much of the same reaction others have gotten (like they just grew a second head) especially when I have to try and translate what I'm looking for into French... lol ? |
Beef organ meat is fine, you only feed a small amount 1-2 times weekly anyway. I feed beef, lamb and chicken or organ meats, all depends on what I can source.

I'm not completly sure (perhaps ada will be?) but i'm thinking that pigs knuckles will be too dense for him to eat unfortunatly.
