Hello Cindy,

I just have a question. I started my dog on a raw diet when she was 4 months old and she has been on it ever since. She is now 15 months old. I have been feeding her just meat (alternating between chicken and organic beef) and eggs. She also gets salmon or cod liver oil, olive oil, calcium with vitamin D, vitamin E, Vitamin C, and a probiotic. She also once in awhile gets table scraps or carrots to munch on. But my question is, could I cut the meat amount in half and also feed her cooked brown rice or cooked oatmeal for the other half of the meal? Would she still be getting all the nutrients she needs? I realize that dogs don't need grains, but I was hoping this would help cut costs, as feeding all meat gets expensive for us. Thanks so much for your help, this is all still somewhat new to me.

Thanks,
Diana
