and man, has this forum format changed! Last time I tried to log on, I couldn't and it looked like the forums had shut down. When did all this happen?

lol! Hey! I know you have been here a long time but didn't know it was you!! That's awesome! :D

Here's a raw feeding forum, all raw feeding. I've been 100% feeding prey model raw for a good ten years now, and it's the best forum for raw only I have found. It has a really good getting started guide as well.http://preymodelraw.com

If you want to try again, I would be glad to help, and have a good link to help you too.

I don't feed commercial raw, I feed prey model, but I can say that I have never used percentages at all, for the very reason you stated....overwhelming. It really shouldn't be overwhelming at all, raw should be a fun way to feed. I have always fed according to body condition, and lots of...

Mine have always backed themselves off of each meal. When they just don't want it each time anymore, I stop offering those meals.

Is she having a hard time chewing the bone, or just acting like she may not like it? If she is having a hard time learning how to get through the bone, you can use a hammer or kitchen mallet and crunch the bones up for her in the beginning. She will still have to chew, but it will be easier...

Try turkey necks. They are easy to chew, and digest for dogs who aren't used to eating raw.

We will agree to disagree. This could go on forever.

I am talking about wolves. Not stray domestic dogs. Domestication has changed them in looks, not digestion. If so, domestic dogs wouldn't be able to handle raw and they do. Just fine. Domestic dogs and wolves share 99% of the same DNA. So close, they can breed together. We do know how to...
