Re: Dog Food
Yep. Never cooked the food. Dogs systems are designed to deal with raw food. Organ protein is the most nutritionally dense food you can feed. But everything in balance.

Re: Dog Food
So I got my dogs (I have three mixed) some chicken liver last week.
My oldest (shephard x) ate some.
My ridgeback x pointer and daschund x boston terrier tried and kept looking back at me confused.
They've had raw meat and bone before. First raw liver experience.
I'd love to feed raw but buying from a seller is very expensive.
I had two Doberman. One proper bloodline and one with a stroke of the tar brush.
Bloodline got to 8 on vets choice and hills.
The other had doberman hep. Took over a year to diagnose. Imported meds from Canada.
He got to 4.
Still missing pieces of my heart.
Think they are somewhat like holsters.

Re: Dog Food
For what its worth... I feed my dogs raw aswell. Used to buy the pre-made raw food which is pretty expensive now around R60 a kg. My retriever eats a kg a day. So food was R1800 a month...
I now make two types of food...
We farm pasture raised broiler chickens. So for the poultry mix I use.
Ground carcasses (lots of meat) most farms would sell this as "soup packs" for R12 for 2 carcasses (800g).
Aswell as trimmings from when portioning.
I then add gizzard, heart and liver.
Aswell as about 10 to 20% veg. And this I make in large batches and freeze. Then we add 2 necks on top of his food.
The second food we make consists of
Eiland/or other game mince (super lean) R90/kg
Blood meat/neck meat from beef butcher sells this at R10/kg. Very fatty which is why I use the game mince.
Saw dust from the band saws.
Lung heart liver etc
Veg
The blood meat and the sawdust bring the cost per kg of the food down tremendously aswell as the veg.
