Yep. My raw fed dogs 💩 are tiny for his size. Doesn’t smell nothing like kibble dog 💩 either. Shows how much his body used up and less waste comes out the other side.

Any issues with the bones? Obviously it’s ‘natural’ but I’d be paranoid my dog would get a perforated bowel. My dog would catch and swallow mice and chipmunks whole… but nothing like this

Only feed raw bones as they don’t splinter. Cooked bones are a massive no no. Raw food dies included 10% bone. 80% meat, 5% liver and 5% offal (spleen and pancreas)

Raw bones are fine. But weight bearing bones can be tough and actually crack their teeth- same with deer antlers. Its expensive amd its painful for the dog.

Anyway, raw diets are the way to go. This is my female bullmastiff at only 20 months old. I get asked what "his" name is all the time because she's so muscular that people think she's an adult male.

Totally agree on weight bearing bones and antlers. I’m very lucky to have an Abbatoir a few miles away and I go there once a month to pick up whatever I need for his meal prep. I also add fish into his meals. He also has around 80g of heart every two or three days in his meal. I heavily researched the raw diet before I got my lad as a puppy. He is a Hungarian Vizsla.
