Thread: Raw feeding - getting started.

First post in the dog section.

I have a Black Labrador arriving in a few in two weeks. I would like to raw feed as balanced diet as possible and I’ve been shooting a fair few Tahr, Deer and Chamios for dog tucker. I save all livers, kidneys, lungs, hearts etc to supplement store bought meat. It’s the bone content that I would like some advice on, specifically how to prepare to prepare small game before freezing.

Question: with Rabbits and Hares I have been removing the leg bones, guts and skin before freezing but wonder if this is really necessary to remove the leg bones. Will a pup be able to pass these safely or are they best avoided until he is older?

I am probably overthinking this but better safe than sorry right?

Cheers,
Hayden
