[rawfeeding] Turkey neck bone percentage?

Hello all,

I understand the 80/10/10 percentages, but how do you figure out how much bone is too much? I've been giving my 55 lb lab 1 pound of ground turkey a day (storage issues keep me from buying whole turkeys) and I give her a turkey neck on most days. Is this too much bone in her diet?

I haven't given it too much thought until now because she's not having digestive issues. She's not throwing up over missed meals anymore, and has had consistent stools for a good chunk of time now.

Does anyone know the rough percentage of meat vs bone on a turkey neck?

We're starting her on turkey organs this weekend, and I want to make sure I get all ratios in the ballpark range without obcessing about the numbers. I'm the type who will write out a page-long equation and figure out exactly how many ounces of what I need to feed to get to the 80/10/10. I've been telling myself every day that normal people don't do that, so that's why I'm here....is a turkey neck a day too much bone for a 55 lbs dog? Or is it appropriate since I'm feeding a pound of 100% meat every day?

This group is great, thank you so much for your help and support!
