Prey Model Raw Feeding

[mumtoshelley]

Hi everyone rShelley has been eatting bonnie adult complete but i would like to get her on a more natural diet. I've been doing researching about prey model raw feeding. Today i went to some butchers to have a look i can get lamb which has a fair bit of meat and some bone for $2.80kg,I can also get pet mince,lambs fry,lamb heart,chicken,heart,kidneys,liver and probably more. I also can get pig feet and beef necks for free from 1 butcher. I'm only starting out but Shelley is use to eatting chicken,lamb and beef. The beef necks i got for free don't have much if any meat on them so they probably won't be too good.

What i was thinking of doing is feeding pet mince,lamb,chicken,beef,pork bones, hearts from chicken,lamb,liver,kidney,fish and eggs. From what i have read it said you don't need to give organs to them everyday once or twice a week is enough same with fish. I plan on giving 1 egg a week.

Shelleys coat has began to start to smell and i think its cause of the diet she is on, plus i want to feed a natural diet like they do in the wild. Also a question for those that feed raw how much a week does it cost to feed? Also what do those people that have limited room coupe? We don't have a big freezer. Any information from those that feed prey model raw feeding will be very helpful.

Shelley had a pig foot,pet mince,lamb meat and chicken heart for dinner tonight she absolutely loved it.

I feed raw to all 5 of my dogs and I think it's cheaper than buying a premium kibble. I don't have a extra freezer so everything has to fit in the 'human food' one!

I feed minced chicken frames mixed with eggs (including shell), yoghurt, offal, crushed flaxseed (or oil), kelp powder, sardines (tinned and whole fresh ones when I can get them), apple cider vinegar and sometimes I'll add leftovers or fruit and vegies. It varies every day which of the ingredients I use in the mix (never the same every day). Twice a week instead of the mince mix I feed horse or buffalo bones (with plenty of meat on them) and that is their meal for the day. I also give fish heads as a special treat once a week and another once a week treat is a milk mixture that another poster uses - milk (I use either lactose free or goats milk as one of my dogs is lactose intolerant), eggs and honey.

It can be a pain sometimes to have to 'make' the dogs dinner every night but they really love it and have great skin and coats and are very healthy and I also have complete control over what they are eating.
