Protein can be a problem for these little ones. How do you know they are not getting too much protein?
Also, is there a site somewhere that lists all foods that are able to be given to our furbabies? I'm really worried about the bones. chicken bones are small, they don't lodge in their throat? And pork bones are ok? hmmm, they seem sharp.
Thank you for replies |
I think you are probably thinking about everything we've always been told. And yes, if your chicken was cooked the bones would be very dangerous but raw bones are very pliable and do not splinter. Same goes for pork bones although I find alot of pork bones are too dense for my yorkie. Here is a great site that will answer all the common myths out there about a raw diet.

Prey Model is not as hard as you might think! I was so nervous about it but really it turned out to be easier than I thought!

What's the difference between a Prey Model diet and just regular raw diet?
Are they both just pieces of raw meat that you give your dogs... and that equals their meal for the day? |
A prey model raw diet is more specific. If I were to say a I fed a raw diet, that could mean a premade raw like you buy at the pet store. Prey model means actual raw whole items like a chicken leg or a beef heart etc. Premade raw is general a mixture of the meat, organs liver and bones all ground up and most premade raw also includes some veggies. A prey model feeder would not feed veggies and would not generally grind up meat either although in some situations, it might be done. (ie an elderly dog with no teeth). Hope that makes sense.
