Teegy, do you grind everything yourself or is the first meal pre packaged? Does the tripe have to be a green color? Also, do you feed any kinds of vegatables? Sorry for all the questions, just really curious what different people's approaches are. |
No my food supplier grinds it all for me actually, it's all ground up bones and all and I add the tripe and the organ meat to it. The tripe has to be green, the bleached stuff we are sold isn't good for dogs.
You can buy a grinder yourself and use chicken backs and carcasses for your bone content as it's soft and easy to process through.
Take your time do your research until you feel right about it. I have met people who've been feeding raw for 20+ years now at my supplier, from Yorkies and Chihuahas to Great Danes and Irish Wolfhounds (couldn't afford their food bill).
I have picked up meats and organs from my butcher and finely chopped them up and packaged them into serving sizes too.
