You need to spend A LOT of time researching B.A.R.F. Diets and raw foods diets. And when I say a lot, I mean it. If you aren’t correct in your proportions and variety, your dog could die.

Instead of stopping store bought pet food, why not just upgrade to a brand that isn’t having these problems? Something high quality like Natural Balance or Evo? Natural Balance is NOT associated with Menu Foods at all. Http://naturalbalanceinc.com/

Natural Balance also has a pre-assembled raw diet that may be a good option for you: http://naturalbalanceinc.com/dogformulas/RAW.html

Good luck to you! : )

Here are some links. You need to do whole prey, raw feeding, not “homemade” with lots of grinding and adding stuff. Dogs are carnivores….they need meat, bones and organs. Thats it. Keep it simple.

You should also join rawfeeding and rawchat on yahoo groups.
You will find the answers to all your questions on the above mention lists and the links….but if you need more info, feel free to email me.

And…dont discount pork… Its a very healthy meat for dogs and part of a good diet. Mine love pork neck bones, pork chops, pork hearts, and organs, etc.
