While you can feed the same food again and again, it is nice to change once in a while so your pup wouldn't develop a rejection on other type of meats.

i usually fixed it with chick... once in a month, i'd switch to beef / pork / fish for a few days...

Switching to other type of meats needs normalization... (add in to her mains bit by bit till your pet can eat it stand alone)


i would say leave it larger... if there is a bone with the meat the better... i started my dog with chick thighs... neck only is not advisible as it has too much bone content... you will see your dog poo being powderish when dried... it would also cause them to have difficulty in pooing...

i am currently feeding my dog a drumstick a meal... 2 days' meal (2 chick drumstick) cost me about RM4... so a month is about rm30... if get thigh i would need to chop it to half... with bones in the meat, my dog would have to work it to eat the meat first before finishing the bones... with that, she can't just swallow...

sorry i have hijacked the thread as i am not feeding barf but really just raw meat... (anyhow, my furkid doesn't like vege also... she would separate the vege out if i feed her barf... lol...

Actually i enjoy watching my dog eat that way... i know she is working on it and actually they are good for the dog too... as Rayne has put it, it helps them to clean their teeth... prior to raw, i had to clean her teeth and give those greenies to keep her teeth nice... now i don't need to do that to keep it clean and nice breath too... so it saves some monies in that sense too...

seems like a behaviour problem rather than a food problem. gotta show your furkid who is the boss. make him wait before food and during food if he growls when you are around, step in between his food and him and not let him eat till he stops growling...

give whole piece. it would be better for the development of their teeth and also gets them chewing (helps them relieves stress as well)

are you mixing? i don't think you need to mix at all. anyway unless you are practicing whole prey model, you don't really need to feed whole chick with innards and all at one go. innards could be fed once a week and sometimes you could even feed raw eggs.
anyway whichever part of meat would be fine. i personally rotates between chick drumsticks, thighs and breast meat; lamb or mutton shoulders and beefs... just remember that calcium (from bones) is a must too... depending if you have budget, then you could rotate more often, else have something main and others comes in once in a while would be fine too. just remember that when you are introducing a new meat to them, give them time to adjust (means feed them the same thing for a while) else they may have loose poop...
