Sweet Science OF Raw Food

The simple facts are:

1. You have to understand no matter the batch weight it all must total to 100%
2. Variety is the key to success
3. Can be given as whole items or ground together
4. Fruits, Vegetables, and Herbs must be pureed for maximum absorption
5. Tweaking to fit the individual is a must

Some interesting facts are:

1. Chicken Necks (Skin On) contain only 36% bone the remaining 64% meat, ligaments, and fatty tissue
2. Chicken Necks (Skin Off) contain 75% bones the remaining 25% meat, and ligaments with very little to no fat

The formula to figuring out the percentage (%) of each item in a batch is:

    Product Weight / Batch Weight * 100 = %

Here is an example of a simple 50 pound batch of Raw Food worked out:

    20 lbs. Chicken Necks 40% (Meaty Bone) ( 20 lbs. / 50 lbs. * 100 = 40% )

    8 lbs. Chicken Heart 16% (Muscle Meat) ( 8 lbs. / 50 lbs. * 100 = 16% )

    8 lbs. Chicken Gizzards 16% (Muscle Meat) ( 8 lbs. / 50 lbs. * 100 = 16% )

    5 lbs. Beef Liver 10% (Secreting Organ) ( 5 lbs. / 50 lbs. * 100 = 10% )

    4 lbs. Beef Kidney 8% (Secreting Organ) ( 4 lbs. / 50 lbs. * 100 = 8% )

    2 lbs. Kale 4% (Vegetable)

    1 lb. Carrots 2% (Vegetable)

    1 lb. Blueberries 2% (Fruit)

    ½ lb. Garlic 1% (Root Herb)

+   ½ lb. Ginger 1% (Root Herb)

    50 lbs. Raw Food

So for this batch of dog food it contains:

    40% Raw Meaty Bone

    32% Muscle Meat

    18% Secreting Organ

+   10% Fruit/ Herb/Vegetable

    100% complete

RAW FEEDER REFUSING FOOD

If your dog refuses to eat and is losing weight, not acting normal, not drinking water, unable to poop or pee, constantly vomiting (more than 2x's within an hour), take them to the vet ASAP! There is something else going on, it's definitely not, they're just trying to be picky eaters.
