I just started my dog on the RAW diet last weekend. I read Natural Nutrition for Dogs and Cats by Kymythy Schultze, which I would recommend for anyone thinking about switching. I also did research on the RAW diet from websites devoted to it. My question is what should be the main source of my dogs diet. In the book, it states that it should be meat first, rmb second, veggies, third, and extras fourth. The website (njboxers.com) says rmbs should constitute 60% of the diet with muscle/organ meats, veggies, and extras compromising 40%. What do those of you who feed RAW do?

Elliott - congratulations on deciding to feed RAW - you, and your dog, will never be sorry. You will find as many different ways to feed RAW as there are posters on this board, and I can only advise you that when you have assimilated all of your information and determined your own formula will you be happy. The suggestions you receive here will help you tremendously, but remember to pick and choose what is most comfortable to you but what also stays within the guidelines of correct feeding.
That said, my personal formula is 60% RMBs (almost entirely made up of chicken parts), 35% muscle meat (beef hearts, hamburger, ground turkey, together with mackerel), and 5% organ meat(liver or kidney). I supplement with fish oil, Vitamin E, and yogurt.

That actually does make meat the primary ingredient in every usual measure: the meat on the RMBs plus the other muscle meat and organ meat together put meat at the top in both weight and calories. I think NJ Boxer just divides it up a little differently. <img src="http://www.leerburg.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
