your best bet is to start with the links I gave in my last answer, get the Toms Lonsdale book, in one of the links and join one of the many raw feeding Yahoo groups. Some email lists are specific to different areas so depends where yoou live.

Hi puppy_trainer65



The first thing you should do is some reading/research on the raw diet. Here are a few recommended books you can purchase at Amazon.

Most dogs do better on a cold turkey switch rather than half-kibble and half-Biologically Approved Raw Food (BARF). Remember to keep things simple for the dog when you are starting. You might start with chicken or turkey and feed wings, necks or backs for the first couple of days. Let their body get used to the new foods before you start feeding them a huge variety of foods. Some dogs might not know what to do with the bones at first, but they will get the hang of it. If you have a small dog or a dog that doesn't get the hang of it, you can try crunching the bone into smaller pieces, or holding one edge of the bone for them. For veggie meals, start with bland veggies with a bit of lean ground meat. Wait to add the richer foods, such as liver and eggs, for a few weeks. I would also wait to start adding any supplements until you are settled into a routine. These are just some of the basics of the diet. Your research will provide you with more detailed information on how to get started.



Basic Raw Dog Food Recipe

for a 20-25# dog



1/2 cup raw meat (ground poultry, beef, lamb, organ meats)

1/2 cup raw pureed vegetables (variety!)

1/4 cup cooked whole grains

1 teaspoon bonemeal powder (double for puppies and pregnancy)

1/4 teaspoon ascorbic acid powder with bioflavinoids (vitamin C)

1/4 teaspoon kelp powder

1/4 teaspoon minced garlic (not powder)

1 teaspoon oil mixture (2 teaspoons with poutlry)

Oil mixture:



11 oz. canola oil (cold pressed)

2 oz. wheat germ oil

2 oz. flax oil

Keep refridgerated in an opaque container.



Some folks eliminate the grains and increase the meat and vegetables proportionately, and only add the oil if poultry is fed. The meat must be RAW. Dogs should be fed raw bones (cooked bones will splinter). Vegetables must be pureed or they will come out looking pretty much the same way they did going in. Wild canines get their vegetable matter by eating the digested intestinal contents of their vegetarian prey. Variety is essential to deliver the correct mix of vitamins and minerals.What are some raw food recipes for my dog.?
a raw diet is something you need to do a lot of research on or get someone that can help you specifically with your dog. a not complete raw diet can be harmful to your dog as you will not get it everything it needs. Take the time to learn and be prepared before you start the diet, then commit to it completely for the sake of your dog.What are some raw food recipes for my dog.?
