There are different types of raw feeding. There is the BARF diet which includes veg. and I believe some grain. Then there is the RMB (raw meaty bones)or prey model diet (which I feed). I dont' think dogs need veggies, although I am not opposed to giving her some occasionally. Usually she doesn't want them. Bella would NEVER eat kibble, which is what started me on the quest for a new diet. She would eat cooked chicken (and I was always fighting constipation) and some vegs if she was really hungry, but usually left them. I just kind of knew she would like eating raw. She loves to crunch on her flossies and bully sticks, so I knew she could handle real bones.
In the prey model diet bones are necessary along with meat and organ meat. This rounds the diet. I supplement with Omega 3&6 because I have not started feeding her fish. When I do, and if she likes it, I will quit supplementing.
That is all there is to it. Bones about 10-15%, organ meat about 10%, and the rest meat. If the stools are soft-more bone, too white or hard-more meat or fat (skin) etc.
