As I mentioned just recently, I'm interested in trying raw food for my dog-people. So this morning I was out and about and noticed a shiny new store, a pet food express. Turns out they have a few companies supplying various forms of raw food product. Nature's Variety offers both Raw, as well as a grain-free low-carb kibble and canned line they call Instinct that appears comparable to the EVO I feed them now.
I got them some of their raw frozen turkey necks, bone & all. Contrary to popular modern ignorance, dogs are perfectly fine with all manner of poultry and fowl bones, so long as they are raw. However, they should never be given any cooked bones whatsoever, from any species (well, large dinosaur would probably be fine). Cooking makes bones brittle, risking sharp shards of bones becoming lodged and impacted.

Hi Richard New to your site. Do you receive financial support from these pet food companies? I read the comments and others have email you about rawfeeding(rawfed.com, place to start). Why are you recommending people feed commercial dog food out of a package, you wouldn’t recommend, I wouldn’t imagine from the tone of your site, that people eat out of packages. Raw feeding is easy and cheap so I can’t see any reason to feed ready frozen stuff. Well I am very curious to hear your reply. Sydney
Financial support? I wish. I loath loaded questions like that, by the way. You might wait until you’re not quite so new here before impugning my integrity with such an implication.
I don’t recommend anything in terms of pet feeding except to get them off grains, sugar, and other crap. While I agree that raw feeding is optimal, most aren’t going to do it. I’d rather have people feed these options than standard PetSmart fare. My own dogs’ health have improved drastically on Evo.
We’re not religious around here. We’re about getting to 80% or better, but everyone is free to figure that out for themselves without fear of being cast into the Lake of Fire.
