Anyone Got Raw Dog Food Recipes?

Hi, I was wondering if any of you guys out there who do the raw food diet might have any recipes that I can try on my dogs, after seeing a video showing what they actually put in some dog foods on youtube, I decided to feed my dogs what I would eat...but raw hehe. Also does anyone know how much in pounds of meat per day I'm supposed to feed my dogs? What about vegetables?Anyone Got Raw Dog Food Recipes?
I feed a prey model based raw diet -



Day 1- Chop up raw chicken - feed parts to all the dogs

Day 2- Pork neck bones (boney meat) and heart/liver mixture (very rich - the bone from the neck bones moderates this)

Day 3- Chop up raw chicken - feed parts to all the dogs

Day 4- Raw fish w/ entrails - turkey necks

Day 5- Chop up raw chicken - feed parts to all the dogs

Day 6- Turkey necks (boney meat) and heart/liver mixture

Day 7- game meat (venison, bear, elk, llama, lamb or whatever)

Day 8- Chop up raw chicken - feed parts to all the dogs

Day 9- Clean out fridge (human leftovers) feed to dogs with raw eggs and kibble

Day 10- Raw fish



etc.... vary as needed depending on what you have on hand with an eye to keeping the diet balanced. Add salmon oil or canned fish in oil as needed to keep coat glossy. Increase kibble to put weight on the dog.



I use kibble as treats/training aids.



Please note: I do NOT feed a BARF diet - I do NOT add vegies/grains (other than scraps from my meals and leftovers)Anyone Got Raw Dog Food Recipes?
For meat 1 -2 % of your dogs optimal weight, or the weight that is best for him, a ratio of 70/30 of bone to meat (organ and muscle) Veggies well it depends some people like to feed veggies some don't believe in it

Any veggies you do feed need to be pureed because the canine digestive system cannot breakdown and properly absorb the nutrients from plant material. Some people suppliement with raw eggs, cottage cheese, fish (whole), some dont suppliment at all. Raw feeding is having a sense of balance and whats right for your dog, your dog might do better with one menu while another dog does better on a completely different one
