There are no rules carved in stone. I suggest quarters for one meal and backs for the other each day for the next week. The week after, alternate quarters with turkey necks, wings or drumsticks. The following week throw some pork into the mix. The next week fish then beef then anything else you want to add. In other words, add a new protein source each week as long as everything is going well. If this is not clear, ask me again.

Hi. What kind of dog is the black and tan one in the picture? Looks really cute!! I love sleek, short-haired, shiny, black and tan floppy eared dogs =).

Hope things are going well for you, whether you are still trying the raw thing or not. Reread some of the posts and started to think a tad. Maybe doing the raw diet with your busy house and work etc., might be a bit much all at once. We are both in the final few years of our work-life, no kids, just a couple of elderly parents to look after(one lives at the "home", the other lives next door). Our lives are really pretty simple and we don't have the realities of kids, spouse, house and work to try to juggle. A couple of thoughts might be, try the diet on weekends or your days off. If you are plannning a stay at home vacation, try it then. Look into a grain free kibble (EVO, Merrcik Before Grain, Wellness Core to mention a few). Theses kibbles will put their diet a bit closer to a meat based diet. I am going to send you a continuation as this message is too long in characters.

Back again. A couple of other thoughts to try. Fresh chicken feet as a treat to provide some taste, texture and chewing experience. Cut off a bit of chicken (little morsels) and put with their kibble, again for taste, texture etc. This AM, my last two got a bit of Mackeral as a kibble topper, that I didn't give to the first two on the diet. So the most important to thing to remember, is that no matter how much dogs are a part of our household, do the best you can for them, but they are still a dog and other responsibilites should be placed above them.

DONT GO AWAY(and yes I'm shouting) but in a nice way
