First of all, thanks to all who replied to my request for advice on raw diet books to buy. I got all three books that were in the top three recommended books. I’m starting nervously and slowly into raw feeding. I’m grinding for now because of the dreaded fear of feeding whole bones and still have a big bag of crap that I might as well mix in for a transition to a real food diet. I found out that the current kitchen equipment I own (KitchenAid mixer with meat grinder attachment) could handle chicken bones. Anyway, I’ve got a real question. I’ve learned that many people at Leerburg and on this forum use salmon oil and vitamin E together as supplements to the raw diet. My current dog has joint issues and I was thinking about supplementing with syn-flex. Syn-flex sounds great and it looks like it has Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids as well as vitamin E. The question is- Do I do syn-flex alone or with salmon oil and vitamin E?

Careful with your kitchen-aide mixer.....mine heated up and produced a high pitch whine and that was after 3 wings that I had broke with a hammer first......
It is due to the parts being plastic and not steel I assume. I went to Northern Tool and bought this grinder: Grinder
and I could not be happier with it.
When I need a workout (and before buying the above grinder) I grind with an old fashioned steel grinder with the hand crank. Actually grinds really well and you can pick them up at antique type stores for $25 to $40.

Thanks for the tip! If I really got into grinding bone I think I'd invest in the machine you have. However, after only grinding two chickens today I decided that the grinding is just a phase we're going through. It's way too much work for something that is robbing my dog of the beneficial parts of RMBs namely the dental benifits of chewing and tearing RMBs. Tom Lonsdale is a huge proponent of not going half way (with grinding) and I'm listening. So what about supplements?

I have never used anything other than Grizzly Salmon oil and Vitamin E. I do have Jesea on a holistic digestive enzyme to help her with digestion and it helps quite a bit.
I have been looking at some probiotics and also at Syn-Flex, especially for Max now that he is getting up there in age, but have not done enough research yet to make my decisions.

I was wondering that too, but after re-watching the chuck it fanatic streaming video it was obvious. Two great thespians carrying their less talented partners. Bill-Vivian. Ed-a rubber head with fake hair.
The Bill picture is William Frawley-the actor who played on The I Love Lucy show as Fred Mertz the landlord and best friend of Ricky Ricardo. Could Ed and Bill be related? You can see Ed's comic/vaudville potential!
So, it's sounding like I don't have to worry about ODing my dog if I use all three products, but is it necessary?
