Raw dog food diet help?

Getting an australian shepherd and going to feed it a raw diet. What must be in it? I'm feeding my dog like the wild, so don't say any supplements please. Any percentages or things that need to be in it. Do you have any recipes that can be fed to an Aussie? Also can I have how many servings are made? Thanks so much. Where can I buy the ingredients too?Raw dog food diet help?
Raw is not like in the wild. Dogs are not strict carnivores like cats are. In the wild dogs eat stomach contents which contain partially digested plant matter. To simulate that you have to cook the grains and some of the vegetables. The percentages range from 50% grain, 25% meat, 25% vegetables and fruits to 33% of each.

It's not as easy as asking a question on YA. There's a lot of studying involved because you can't trust what you read from a single source.Raw dog food diet help?
Before you get the dog, please read up on the subject of raw feeding. http://healthydogforlife.com/ has downloadable E Books. I can't remember the price. I didn't follow the directions to download it right, so the owner mailed me the book Real Food for Dogs. There are other sites as well. http://thenaturallyhealthydog.com/ http://barfworld.com/ that also have good books, so you can use those instead if you want to.

Edit: I forgot to mention the book Real Food for Dogs has feeding guides. The others may as well. And there are even more sites to order books from, but I don't know of all of them.Raw dog food diet help?
A raw diet consists of 80% muscle meat, 10% bone, and 10% liver and other organs.



COOKED bones splinter, not raw ones.

There are at least two groups over on YahooGroups that are raw dog food feeders, I'd suggest going over and doing a search on 'raw feeding dogs' and 'B.A.R.F. diet dogs' and joining up with them.
