tips for feeding my dog all meat?basically one of my dogs is at the end of her life , and im sick of feeling like im killing her even more by giving her the nasty kibbles. these past few days ive been cooking up ground beef burgers (just meat) leaving it a bit raw in the middle and feeding them to her. she has lots of diarrhea and im hoping this will go away after she gets used to it?!?!?what im curious about is is this ground beef enough nutrition for her? im thinking even if this IS bad for her, at least for the last months of her life she'll be enjoying the meat so much instead of the kibbles. im really not in a position where i can get her raw carcasses and shit like that, i basically gotta stick with meat i can find at the store, like ground beef and steaks. again to make it clear, is ground beef enough nutrition for her if its raw in the middle? thanks guys |

Look into Wysong as well. He is a vet and and is totally into raw food. His belief is we should feed dogs like their cousins the wolf.
I give my dogs heart and raw chicken wings..bones are only a problem if they are cooked. I used to make them a 'topping' of garlic,sea vegetables,bonemeal and codliver oil..it made them stink on ice so we had to stop. Kibble and biscuits are really bad for dogs..the mash they form on a dogs teeth is enough to warrant giving them raw meat. Plus all the grain..just a shitty food. |

For quite a while now I've been feeding my cat raw meat mixed with Sojourner Farms European mix. I've been thinking of switching him to 'The Prey Model'
Either way, Sojos no carcas  Easy and really inexpensive. Really!

Well, dogs are opportunistic eaters with a penchant for carnivory (and can certainly thrive on only meat and bones), but cats should be completely carnivorous.  Which is why feline diabetes is the fastest rising disease in cats (due to commercial grain-filled feed).

Feeding dogs raw meat is easy:
Step 1: Buy raw meat Step 2: Feed it to your dogs Why people make it so complicated. I've seen dogs fed only raw chicken, only raw beef, only raw pork, whatever. All of them were healthy. It's not the rocket science. Feed the kind of meat you can afford. |

Oh and try to give her raw bones, too. You can get them from your local butcher. | ||
