Raw feeding gurus!! Tell me what you think of this...

[henrysmom]

So, Henry has been eating Nature's Variety raw venison patties in the AM, and his Prescription Diet d/d in the PM. When the kibble is gone, I want to switch him back to full raw.

What if I feed:

AM: Nature's Variety raw venison patties (95% muscle meat, heart/liver, ground bone)

PM: alternating...
RMBs (chicken necks/backs; duck necks/backs... Henry doesn't tolerate turkey or pork)
"whole" rabbit, cornish hen, chicken etc (portioned properly, of course) ?

Sounds like a plan!

Sounds good to me Felicia.

The only thing I might add is a bit of fish (even just canned sardines) every now and then. And the odd raw egg if he can tolerate them.

[henrysmom]

Ooh yes, forgot the fish!

He loves tilapia, trying to source whole mackeral.

How often do you give eggs? 1-2 per week?

[Fallriver]

A few things.
First, there is only 2.5% offal and that is not enough.
Where is the tripe?
Also need fish and eggs as others suggested.
Lastly, I don't think that would give you enough RMB if you are alternating RMB and whole prey for pm meals. I would feed whole prey only once or twice a week in place of the RMB meals. Treat tripe, fish and eggs as whole prey.

Cool! Thanks, Dana!

I'll tweak this further...

Angus gets a whole mackerel a week and one raw egg. I buy (yuck) green tripe (yuck again)

Caleb gets tripe five nights a week. YUCK! The other two consist of his offal meal and his meal of sardiines. I do include an egg with his offal meal.
