Greetings!
I have been researching raw for a while now and we are switching as early as next week! YAY! I'm so excited. We are going to start with chicken thighs, bone in, skin off. I'll see how they go on that, and then maybe in a few days add the skin.
I do have a few questions..
Right now my babies are free fed, and self-regulating their food really well. Should i weigh the meat I feed them? I was thinking I would throw one thigh for one dog and let them go on it, and give fillet later in the day.
Also, since I am going shopping for the meat this week, what else should I get aside from chicken thighs, breast, legs? Should I get heart, gizzards? Is it okay to feed hearts and gizzards the 1st few days, since it is considered muscle meat, not organs?
Since I cannot afford organic, I was thinking to supplement with salmon oil. But I found out salmon oil is very hard to find here, and if I can find it I suspect it'd be very expensive, as cod liver oil is already through the roof. I simply cannot afford it. So, I found out I could feed fish instead of supplementing. What kinda fish is good and high in omega 3 and 6, and should I give them the bones or just filleted fish??
Thanks so much for any help at all!! |
