Okay, what if, in Hawaii, I can't get access to whole prey model? It's
a lot easier on the mainland to get access to things. You'd be
surprised how few rawfeeders there are in Hawaii. And then how few prey
model feeders there are. And I'm already fighting slaughterhouses to
get offal. I can only imagine the struggles I'd have to go through to
get prey model. There aren't personal/boutique slaughterhouses and
processing plants in Hawaii like there are in the mainland. And most
farmers don't kill their own livestock, except perhaps chickens (which
I can't seem to find on Oahu). And if they do kill their own livestock,
they're likely not pastured but the industry pumped kind. If prey model
isn't an option, are there any OTHER suggestions on what to feed?

Sorry, but the term "appropriate" requires some explaining. Why isn't
zinc appropriate if you want to boost immune system? Why wouldn't you
want to give zinc and/or vitamin C or something like that to your dog?
What makes that "inappropriate"?

Thanks.
