Raw Bones for Dogs
A Dogs DNA is 94% Wolf. Given this fact, it only makes sense to feed them as their ancestors still eat – a RAW DIET.
When it comes to RAW BONES FOR DOGS, the Bones should be meaty, with minimum fat.
Bones must be Raw.
Beef soup bones (1/2 tail bone)
Lamb Shanks.
Beef Leg – Whole (be careful as these can fracture teeth if cut in half)
Beef Whizzers.
What we’ve learned from our Natropath Vet on Nutrition is basically this:
1)To limit Commercial Dry Food & some of the commercial treats as well.
Liver treats are ok, look for things with only 1 or 2 ingredients MAX.
2)Feed dogs 50% to 65% Meat & Raw Meaty Bones.
3)Diet can consist of 50% Veges. Feed lots of carrots, sweet potato(yellow), pumpkin,
zuccini, sqash, brocolli, Beetroot, spinach. No onion.
4)Add 5ml of fish oil or coconut oil daily for joints & arthritis & this aids in digestion too.
5)You canAdd glucosamine & green lipped mussle daily for joints & prevention of arthritis.
6)Add a Probiotic into the diet (a teaspoon daily of good quality Yoghurt
that has probiotics in it. Jalna, Valia or Natural greek yoghurts are best.
But as a lot of dogs are Lactose-Intolerant, you can buy a Probiotic Powder)
