Hello,
I've been researching the benefits of a raw food diet for my dog and am really interested on switching her diet. I've been working in raw ground turkey, veggie pulp, eggs, I've given her raw shin bones for recreation/chewing (superived) I still give high quality kibble with canned, when she does not receive the raw food/meat, I understand they digest at different rates. My question is with regards to serving raw chicken neck. I purchased some today. Should I break it up first with a mallet or hammer? Is there bone in the neck or just cartilage? She has not had any GI upset or loose stools with the raw turkey meat/egg mixture. I am also adding kelp/alfalfa, Vit C and omega oil. I have noticed that her previously goopy eyes are no longer an issue, and this is with about half the kibble exchanged for raw. I'm just a bit nervous about the "plunge"
Thanks for any input!
Bone and cartilage. Mine eat necks on a regular basis. Now if I do necks one day, i'll feed something more meaty the next since they tend to get stopped up with too many bones. I don't break mine up. Most of the time they aren't that big in size. I've been able to find necks that don't have the fatty skins attached since that seemed to upset my dogs stomachs after awhile.

On a Yahoo list I'm on, they prefer the "prey model" feeding which is give them a whole carcass (rabbit, chicken, rodents)or a large piece like a chicken leg quarter, or a whole roast(a whole roast! expensive!). When I fed chicken, I would give mine a whole chicken leg quarter and they handled it fine. I'm assuming you dog is big and can handle big items, so larger items I wouldn't feel scared about of course you will want to supervise. I feed mine Morigins about twice a week becasue it contains tripe which aids in digestion. I cannot find tripe in my area, so that is why I feed the Morigins. They seem to like it VERY well and I may feed it on a regular basis along with RMB's as it has liver, bone, tripe, Vit E, Omega 3's and some nutrients. I feed the pork neck bones as well. These are harder to digest but since on the Morigins, Alfie has not puked up some of the pork neck the next morning, so the tripe has got to be helping a great deal.
