I'm not a raw beginner! Been feeding raw for 12 yrs now but its been 7 yrs since I fed a puppy...
Brought him home friday eve and gave him chicken necks and Bravo turkey mix.
Yesterday he seemed distressed when he tried to poop and after several minutes I was able to pull a small chunk of neck joint out of his butt. This happened 3 more times over several hours.
Put him on pumpkin and his stool was normal today. What am I doing wrong???

Don't know what that tureky mix is.
Too much bone. It's constipating him. If you are feeding a Bravo 'blend' that has organ meant,muscle meat, ground bone & veggies & you are adding more bone in the chicken necks ...it's too much bone.
The Bravo 'blends' are fully balalnced. You don't need to add anything more.
It you want to feed the chicken necks, feed them with a little ground muscle meat to even it out.
I like to feed chicken backs but the cost is higher then necks for me. I have never fed a puppy raw but would likely grind the bones in a meat grinder. I grind all the bones for my three dogs at this time. This solved the problem of digesting chicken necks for my Italian Greyhound. I would think adjusting the meat and bone ratio would be easier too because the portions are so small.
Thanks guys. I think I'll step back and cut back on the amt of bone he's getting. Back when I began my previous pup I didn't purchase a blend of frozen raw. I was doing my own vegie glop with added muscle meat. Knucklehead, I was totally not considering the bone in that stuff.
