What RMBs have you fed her?

They eat them, depending on the size of the bone and the size of the dog. Beef bones are pretty inedible, though. No, they do not run through the body. They are digested.

I third the Timberwolf suggestions. I used to feed their grain free forumlas with good results, better than any other kibble my dogs tried in the past. I feed raw now. A few folks had bad experiences with customer service, and I was one of them. Nevertheless, they seem to have that fixed. I buy...

Could I be any more jealous of Brody and Persephone? No. Probably not. Stunning dogs. Personally, I like my dogs on the thin side. I like my dogs athletic. The first dog looks a little ridiculous. Too much of a good thing, IMHO. Either way, I'd rather my dogs be a little too thin than a...

Very well said, DanL. As with any meat you're buying, it's important to know your souce. I'm very fortunate that all my pork comes from local (as in down the road) processor. It's raised and slaughtered in this area, plus it's minimally processed.

Truer words have never been spoken

Don't shoot the messenger :D :lol-sign:

LMAO. I have some renaming to do...:D

Wild meats (any kind)-Need to be put in the deep freeze for a period of time Fish-Need to be careful where they are caught or farmed, don't feed too much. Avoid PacNW salmon. All other meat that is fit for human consumption shouldn't be a problem. As for pork, I feed my dogs pork often...

I'd post the article here, but it's too long: http://www.thedogpress.com/Columns/Jade/06-Media_Bias-07.asp

DE works well to kill fleas, ticks and other bugs but you do have to be careful how you apply it. You shouldn't breathe the stuff in but once it has settled it is harmless. Many people use it on their pets by taking a little bit and slowly rubbing it in the fur with two fingers. It isn't applied...

They shouldn't be a problem, pickleweed. My dogs have enjoyed a few meals of fresh salmon here and there, but it's expensive so I don't buy it often. I only purchase wild caught salmon from Alaskan waters and then deep freeze it accordingly. Farmed/PacNW salmon I avoid.

Thanks for pointing out that important info, showpug. It depends on the salmon. Pacific salmonids carry a toxic parasite that can make dogs very sick. I avoid all salmon caught in the PacNW waters. Also, most farmed salmon contain added colors to get that bright pink/red look. On this...

Fish are perfectly fine to feed. My dogs enjoy whole fish. Here is something to keep in mind, though: "When feeding whole fresh fish (especially fish that you just caught from a lake!), it might be worthwhile to cut open the belly and check for hooks swallowed into the stomach as well as...

That's about 3oz a day, Sush (2.88 to be exact). Best thing to do is get a digital scale for food and use it to weigh her meals and organ meats. You can get them pretty cheap.

Don't worry, Sush. They don't have to get bone with every meal, so there's no reason to become upset if she doesn't eat the bone right away. Try freezing the meat and giving it to her that way. Or try another cut of food. Or try holding the leg and letting her gnaw on it with her back teeth so...

Bones are a very important part of the raw diet, and not just for teeth cleaning. What cuts of meat are you feeding her, Sush? I've heard of people supplementing with calcium in the form of crushed egg shells, but I have no personal experience with that. I wouldn't count off the bones just...

I usually just crack the eggs in a bowl and my dogs lick it up. Feed 'em whole, shell and all. It's hard to say what's too much for your dog, as each pooch is a little different. I don't see one egg being a problem. It should say on the bottle :)

Not true. "Bones are living tissue composed of living cells. Because bones are living tissue, just like any other part of the body, they are a complex source of a wide variety of nutrients. Bones contain minerals which are embedded in protein. They also contain fat. If the bone is from...
