Hello,
We have a golden and decided we wanted to have him on a raw diet. I started him off on Instinct Raw bites until we could do our research on the best recipes to feed him. My husband is a butcher and is able to make 50-pound quantities at a time. We have two recipes so far:
Beef recipe:
Eye of Round 40# (fat removed)
Liver 1#
Tripe 5#
Heart 4#
Chicken Recipe:
Whole Chicken (skinned) 40#
Liver 1#
Gizzards 5#
Hearts 4#
We give him 400 grams 2 times a day. I feed him chicken in the morning and beef at night.
When he was on the instinct raw bites we didn't have a problem with vomiting and diarrhea. But it seems that with the new meals we created it doesn't seem to work for him. Not sure how to fix this. I brought him to the vet and the wasn't really concerned about the vomiting. He did put him on a medication to stop diarrhea (Metronidazole), but after a couple of doses of the medicine his paws got really itchy and so I stopped the medicine. When I called the vet to let him know that he had a reaction to the medication he told me that it wasn't the medication, my dog was having some sort of skin allergy. I don't believe that because as soon as I stopped the medication, his feet were not itchy anymore....
I really want to keep feeding my dog raw. Does anyone have any suggestions?
