Deer necks (meaty) my dogs are power chewers but I don’t know if deer necks are "break bones" and if I’d need to remove the bones after they eat the meat?

Also can they eat beef gullet? Is that a good choice to buy?

Thank you in advance for the help.
These are raw not cooked. Dog food contains a ton of chemicals in it to give it an abnormally long shelf life. I choose to feed my dogs fresh natural food, safely though.

I started researching the BARF diet after my dog got sick and I have decided to stop or at least start weaning my dog Bob off of store bought dog food.

The comments I’m finding are mixed, while a large amount say it is a good idea there are a handful that say it’s not healthy.

Is it? Would Bob, my two year old (almost three) Westie be healthier on a raw food diet or would I be doing him more harm?

I’m thinking about switching my pug to a raw food diet. Rather than starting a debate here, I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good book on switching to such a diet, what to serve, how to prepare it, how to transition from commercially available dog food, etc?

Also, about how much will it cost on a daily basis to feed such a diet, to a 20 pound pug?

Thank you.

I’ve be transitioning to Primal Dog Food patties. So far there have been no problems but I’m not convinced that raw is the right diet.

I have heard people talk about a raw food diet for dogs, what exactly is that? What are the benefits and will it make him gain weight. He is pretty small for his size and he eats a healthy dog food and he still hasn’t seemed to gain much weight. Any advice will help.

I'm always thinking about the idea of "absolute health"…there has to be some diet out there that is the best possible diet for a human…we have dog food figured out; the same food every day and they get all they need! Why isn't there "human food"?

So, I wonder if raw food is the most natural and healthy way to eat. It sounds good on paper, but what do you think?
