First, I do not feed raw, hopefully will never have to and I don't agree with the practice. This is because of bone obstructions and bacteria that raw meat contains that weak immune systems may not handle. I reserve the right to be wrong though. It is important that you are comfortable with what you feed your dog. If you want to feed raw that is your choice... That's my disclaimer.

That being said, I do know a few things about feeding raw.
There are three ways (that I can think of) that you can feed.

1. Feed a prepackaged raw that is already balanced like Nature's Variety.
2. Feed a home cooked diet with supplements and just don't cook the meat.
3. Feed a prey model diet (this is what you are wanting to do, I think?).

Prey model diets need to be balanced with the proper amount of muscle and organ meat. This takes a lot of research.

There are some meats that should be at least lightly cooked.
So I would not be giving any meat with bone and big chunks of raw beef until you have researched it all...
