My cat (about six months old) is on a raw food diet called "The Ultimate Diet" from a book I read titled such.
Anyway, it’s going well except my cat won’t eat the raw chicken bone after eating all the meat off of it. He simple thinks it’s just there to hold the meat. Ive tried to get softer bones such as the chicken necks but I can’t buy them anywhere. Because of this, I’ve been feeding him his dry food along with the raw diet so I can be sure he’s also getting the calcium he needs.
How can I get him to eat the bone, or what other bones can I get him that he may be more likely to eat?
Also, I know I can grind up the bone and add it to the meal, but I haven no way of grinding it…no butchers are in my area…
Thanks! :)
They are supposed to eat RAW bones, cooked bones are bad because they are splintery and could make them choke, but raw bones are necessary for calcium.

Does anyone know a good way to transition into this? I also am a bit worried about serving him raw chicken due to salmonella. Can dogs get it? Any recipes that you suggest would be great too. Thank you in advance.

I would like to start my 5 month old pitt-bull mix on a raw food diet. Does anyone have a recipe or know of a web-site that they know is good? I googled and came up with tons of sites but I hate using just any recipe, I’d rather use something that others have tried! also most raw food diets are a basic recipe, is there any changes that need to be made because Max is a puppy?
I would like to do an all raw diet, I found one for my cats that I will be starting in the next few weeks: www.catinfo.org that is raw chicken legs ground up with some added supplements. would this recipe work for dogs too? thanks for your help!

Iv’e been in the process of switching my dogs to a raw diet. I still have some kibble left, so I have been slowly introducing them to some raw food to get thier stomachs used to it. It seems there are a million and one different ways to go with this raw diet! I would like to buy the foods myself and prepare them myself. I always buy 1/4 cows and have a storage freezer to fit the extra meat for dogs. I have been giving them some raw chicken thighs, some steak and hamburger. Now I know this probably is not all there is to it. Iv’e googled up raw recipies and seem to get companies selling thier products more than actual do it youself recipies. What are some good recipies I can give my dogs. I’m not really to worried about the veggies as much as I am the supplements I need to add to make the meal complete and healthy so they do not lack any vitamins or essential supplements needed. What are some of your recipies? I am looking for the complete meal with absolutely everything they need.

i keep hearing all these people saying that you should feed your dog raw food, like raw chicken, lamb, hamburger, eggs or ham. but im pretty sure that would do more harm to a dog than good. i have a 1 year old German shepherd & he LOVES meat to put it simply, and i was considering putting him on this diet if it was actually healthy for him.
so is it healthy? or will it kill him?
