Also make sure that red meat is at least half their 80% meat allotment. I think we tend to get in a rut on feeding chicken (I know I do) and forget to add more meaty red meats into the mix. Beef heart is a great one that most dogs like.
Thanks,

My dogs don't get much red meat at all. Out of there 14 meals a week(I feed them twice a day)

They get about:

3 meals of the beef meatballs
1 meal of green trippes patties.( smell so bad.. it's all I can take! lol)
1 meal of cottage cheese and raw eggs
2 meals of chicken hearth/gizzard (they love those!)
2 meals of chicken liver (they hate the beef liver).
4 meals of whole chicken with bones.
1 meal of turkey wigs with the bones.

And they also get some chicken stripes for treat!

So that is over 50% of chicken products plus the turkey.

I am going to check out an organic farmer market today that I have found on the net. I am going to look for some red meat for the dog.

My father bring me back a moose heart from his last hunting and the dogs loved it. So I am definitively going to ask for beef hearth.

I think I might be feeding too much bones?
