Why a Raw Diet?
I feed a raw diet so I know what my dogs are consuming. They are getting what they need, not a lot of fillers. They are getting human quality food not by products. As an added benefit, their poops are smaller and less smelly and crumble away in a few days. It is very important to balance the calcium-phosphorus ratio, hence the meaty bones. There is a steep learning curve to learn to feed raw, and there are a number of references that I recommend.
PGD dogs are fed a raw diet that consists of raw chicken necks and backs, alternating with beef, lamb and turkey. Pureed vegetables are served once a week and vitamins are given twice a week. Puppies are started out on a raw diet then slowly switched to whatever the new owner will be feeding/
