What does a raw diet consist of?

A raw dog diet must always have:

• Calcium: 12% - 15% bone
• Ex: chicken wings, necks, legs, or thighs
• Multi-Vitamins: 10% - 30%
• Organs are the nutrient-rich parts of the animal which provide most of the vitamins for your dog to be healthy
• Ex: liver, kidney, spleen, testicles
• Foundation:
• Once you have chosen your meaty bones and organs, the rest of the diet should consist of lean meats
• Ex: ground beef, turkey, lamb, and bison
• Keep Diet low in fats: no more than 10%
• Meats low in fat: chicken necks with no skin, pork loin, rabbit, chicken or turkey light meat with no skin
• Spruce the diet up with fruits and vegetables: juice them, puree them, or steam them first
• Benefits: add prebiotics (fiber), chlorophyll (detoxifier), Carotenoids (antioxidants)
• Keep it starch-free:
• Starchy food creates a hormone called insulin which causes your dog to store a lot of its food as fat. In addition, eating too much starch can disrupt the microbes that live in the digestive tract which help your baby’s immune system and vitamins.
• Feed Fish once a week: 5% of the whole diet
• Ex: sardines, smelts, herring, mackerel
