Be sure to freeze any wild meat you feed. I feed chicken,fish,deer and pork. All year for me. Also do rice,greens and organ meats.

What is the difference in feeding them raw meat that has been frozen and meat that is frozen and then thrown on the grill and cooked. Does it hurt your dogs if the meat is cooked. My dogs eat the heck out of it either way. But wanted to know what is better for the mutts.

Cooking the meat defeats the purpose of raw.

The difference between eating raw foods and bagged dog food is like you eating McDonalds or at steak house. Just much healthy for the dogs. I am currently collecting deer scraps. I filled up a small chest freezer this summer with beef fat from the butcher. I will add it to their regular dog food this winter. I am gonna save the deer meat for summer to take the body fat off my dogs. Leaner dogs handle the heat better and the added protein will help their muscles out from the hard huntin. I plan to keep feeding some regular dog food for the vitamins and minerals...

Thats kind of what i am asking. Is there more nutrients in the meat when the meat is raw rather than cooked. I guess I will do a search and see if this has been brought up before. |

Dogs are carnivores that evolved eating raw foods. Commercial foods are generally heat processed which alters or destroys nutrients and essential enzymes.
Reason not to cook the meat first.- First, dogs evolved to eat raw meat. Second, cooking causes bones to become brittle and dangerous. NEVER feed cooked bones to your dog! Third, cooking will destroy enzymes and anti-oxidants essential to your dog’s health.
My number one reason to feed raw is less crap to pick up.

Yup, what Savoy said. Better health, better energy levels, better coat, better teeth, way better digestion, etc. Raw is the way to go. And yes, cooking the meat not only diminishes those benefits, it can be dangerous when bones are involved. Our resident raw expert Betty Leek wrote this blog post last year for deer hunters. It is still my favorite resource for how to feed venison during deer season. http://workinglacys.wordpress.com/2008/11/14/feeding-raw-deer/Pretty much the only thing she doesn't feed is the digestive track. All of the other organs get fed. Liver is a staple of raw, but the heart, kidneys and everything else are great. Bones are a must and she'll often leave some hide on as well. |

I have actually been told that the intestines are good for the dogs and that when wild dogs catch their prey they usually clean out the cavity before moving on to the meat & bones. My Bull/heeler is pushing double digits soon and has worn down all 4 of her fangs to almost her gumline so I cook her meat for her on an old grill I have just to get the meat a little easier for her to gnaw on but I leave it still nice and bloody for the vitamins and minerals available to her. The rest of my yard gets their raw meal at least 2 a week depending on how we do the weekends before, I have also been told to freeze the meat for at least a week to kill bacteria I believe!

Does anybody have a guestimated ratio for feeding raw? Pound or quarter to pound or size of dog?

I ground sum deer meat up into hamburger cause i have a 9yr old dog without any front teeth and it is easier for him to eat. I was wondering if it is better for him if i add beef fat or just feed it straight?
