The idea of this really freaks me out. I worry about her choking on regular stuff as it is. So you just give a raw chicken wing or leg? What about those little drummettes you can buy raw? Are they the same as a regular raw leg? Very curious about this. :confused: |
Raw chicken Hello All, I'm a raw feeder, actually what's referred to as prey model feeder as there's the BARF method as well. We feed our dogs exclusively the way a dog in the wild would eat as even a domesticated dog's nutritional needs have not evolved passed that of a carnivore. Raw meaty bones, organ meats, fish and eggs are on the menu. No kibble, veggies or fruits, no supplements or anything cooked. Weight bearing bones are a concern if they came from large ungulates like cows as those bones are very dense. However, all parts of chicken is a favorite staple among prey model feeders. There are common misconceptions and myths regarding this diet including the fear of dog to human transference of salmonella.

Yuck All I can say is YUCK. :eek: |
Yuck! That's exactly what I said when I found out how kibble is made and what the ingredients are! Quote:

That's interesting...i might try it |
If there's nutritional value to it I might consider it. When I think of a my dog eating raw meat I think of worms and parasites! It creeps me out but if I know it's safe I could learn to deal with it. |

Confused Are you referring to enzymes? Quote:

What if you posted something about feeding your dog kibble and I went into your thread and said "All I can say is YUCK!". Most of us here try to be supportive of all types of feeding - because we all feed different ways for different reasons and I, for one, respect that. So again, while your intent may not have been disrespectful, I think it came off that way - and I would ask in the future that you instead describe how you feel about the topic rather than just post "yuck". :) |
I humbly apologize Quote:
Please forgive my ignorance and accept my most humble apology. I promise I will think before I post, as being kind and courteous is something I truly believe in. |

Nope I mean bacteria. Good bacteria. It is called probiotics and they can't get them if they eat nothing but processes food. Their bodies are designed to eat raw. |
May I please offer a different opinion?! Lou, I applaud you for feeding raw chicken to your dog :D! I don't know if your're doing this as part of a prey model diet or not but I'm not worried about that at the moment. I certainly do not want to step on any toes by all means but I'm afraid you may be misinformed about certain components of raw meat. Without going into the exact chemical components of meat, but to summarize the need for carnivores to consume whole prey is that it delivers the necessary fat, protein, vitamins, minerals and enzymes. Probiotics are microorganisms commonly found in yoghurt, milk, some juices and soy, to name a couple. Probiotics help promote a good gut flora, recommended after a trial of antibiotics and has recently been a debate on raw fed lists as a possible unnecessary supplement to our dogs as the viability of this organism, traveling down a dog's extremely acid digestive tract, is seriously being questioned. When thinking about if dairy is a natural food source for canines, I find myself agreeing with this doubt, although as of yet, scientifically unsubstantiated. Raw, green tripe is a well known remedy for dogs with stomach upsets and lose stools. Quote:
