RAW Beef - Again every bit can be fed to a dog, the only caution I would pay to feeding red meat is to make sure it has been frozen first, this will take care of any parasites which could be present, that are normally destroyed in the cooking process, please click on this link to learn more about this

It is not a good idea to feed huge amounts of red meat, it is useful as part of the diet, but should not make up the bulk.
Beef bones - straight from the butcher (don't forget to freeze - bones can be given straight from the freezer and act like ice lollies on a hot day)
Tripe - Again an extremely useful addition as part of a diet, but it should never make up the bulk of the diet. Tripe can be obtained in many forms, you can get pet minces with added tripe, Freeflow tripe comes frozen in 2kg bags and is ready prepared, fresh green tripe - straight from the abatoir is absolutely brilliant and your dogs will literally stand on their heads for a bit, here Laska is being very cheeky !!
Ox hearts - Great if you can get them, again as part of the diet a good addition.
Kidney - Fed in small quantities a great addition to the diet.
Minced beef - Again go for the economy range, as this will have the bones minced into it.

RAW Chicken - Every single part of a raw chicken may be fed to a dog, in a great deal of raw diets, it is chicken that forms a large part of the diet, it can be fed in any form as follows:
Whole chickens
Chicken wings
Chicken legs/thighs/drumsticks
Chicken carcasses/necks/backs
(some pet food companies sell bags of poultry hearts too)
Raw minced chicken ( Preferably an economy version NOT a premium, the economies contain the all important factor of this diet - BONE.......If you are going to be feeding in the form of mince - you MUST check with the supplier that it contains the bone)
title
RAW Lamb - Again, every single part of a raw lamb may be fed to a dog, in some cases, the dog may be allergic to chicken, this is not something that happens alot, but it can happen, in this case the bulk of your diet could be derived from lamb and fed in the following forms:
Meaty rib bones
Leg bones ( Even whole legs of lamb occasionally)
Breast of lamb (A big favourite with my own pack)
Lambs heart
Lambs liver ( fed in small quantities - once a week )
Minced lamb ( Preferably an economy version NOT a premium, the economies contain the all important factor of this diet - BONE.......If you are going to be feeding in the form of mince - you MUST check with the supplier that it contains the bone)
title
RAW Turkey - Quite a seasonal product for us, but no so the online pet food comapnies specialising in raw, here you will be able to buy turkey products which will include:-
Turkey mince ( Don't forget the bone !!)
Turkey necks ( They look like elephants unmentionables !!!)
Turkey wings ( A meal in itself !)
Turkey drumsticks - A great once weekly treat, I get mine from Tesco or Sommerfield.
title
Fish.......
Should also be fed as part of your diet, it can be fed whole and raw, I use sprats.
Or it can be fed tinned, sardinnes and mackeral are great, in sunflower oil or tomato sauce, my dogs love both !!!!
title
Other bits and pieces.......
There are other things which can be added to a raw diet, these include
Raw eggs, 1 or 2 should be fed once weekly, if you are giving two, remove the white from one, the shells may also be crushed and added to a mince meal, you may find it helpful on the days that you veg to add your pulped mixture to the meat mince and then mix the eggs and shells in aswell.
Natural yoghurt - most dogs love this
Table scraps - Be sensible with this, table scaps are great and dogs survived very healthily on a diet of raw bones and table scraps for years before the commercial pet food hit our shelves (1930s-1950) but I think you will agree, not only did our dogs eat a healthier diet back then.... so did we !!!
Don't subject him to the left overs from your saturday night take away, only give him scraps which will benefit him !!!
If healthy table scraps are not available then feed a small amount of pulped fruit and veg, please refer to The Krisannrio way for further guidance on feeding veg.
Baked beans - My dogs adore them, I don't give them very often, but what I have started doing is adding them to the veg mix, if you are going to do this - go for beans with low salt and sugar
Cheese/cottage cheese
A small amount of carbohydrate, if needed, may be added to the diet, there is a product called Laughing Dog mixer, it could be added to the mince/veg/egg meal in small quantities....... Here is their link:-
You will find that a number of online petfood companies specialising in raw food will carry a range of their products
