Next best to raw?

[magicre]

are you going to be gone for a long time?

if not....sometimes the trade off is trust for the people who care for your dogs....

can you home cook for the time you're away? would they feed that?

certainly, i'd much rather have my dogs fed raw, but i have also heard stories about boarding that aren't positive, so i'd rather my dog be safe...i can always feed raw again when i get home.....if i had to make the choice...

I shall go for the home cooked meats for the first weekend.

Initially it is only for short breaks where realistically I could use a dog walker but because of the area I live in there is a high chance of having my dog nicked. When she is older it won't be the same problem but they are highly valued puppies :-).

i've had a dog stolen from me...right out of my own backyard....and it's a devastating feeling....even now, i sometimes see a dog who looks like him...'course, he'd be 300 years old in dog years by now, but still....

cook a chicken, remove the bones....after cooking....roast some beef heart or whatever meats you can get....add a little organ and there you go.

actually, any protein will do....i like combinations, simply because each protein offers something different, but that's me.

and some egg shell for the calcium and stools....and they should be all right for a bit...

i think it's 900 mg per pound of meat for the egg shell.... or approximately 1/2 teaspoon of ground egg shell per pound of meat.

let the shells air dry and then grind them.....throw the egg into the roaster and cook them too...
