about how much do typical goats weigh? (silly question I know... still
something I've not had the pleasure of dealing with yet)

I think when I call in the order I'll ask if I can get half of the six
way goat... maybe try lamb next time (I hear it tends to be very rich
and takes some adjusting to?).

Hi.What about trying...

1>Put the meat in zip bag and soak in warm water to bring meat temp up to intice the smell of the meat? The more smelly,the more likely dog interested I heard.

2>Sear the meat partially and if just searing did not help,then,try sprinkle garlic powder and see if dog gets intrerested and over the time,you do searing less and less and it would be raw at some point of time.

3>Or, it may bring up some controversial view for this,but i tried this and my dog ate beef liver that suddenly she decided to protest me not to eat

What I did was beat the Egg in cup and just add about 1/2 tsp apple cidar vinegar and 1/2tsp honey and mix them and pour it over the beef liver she protested. She ate it without any problems.

I hope it helps.

Was the turkey fresh or frozen? Was it basted or injected with some type of
preservative solution (most seem to be).

When just beginning, some items are trial and error so I think you need to
have more flexibility in what you are *allowed* to buy! I'd put the turkey
in the freezer for another time, get more chickens and mix it up with some
pork roast.

You could try warming it up, slicing into the meat and smashing some
Parmesan down into the slices.

On the rare occasions I have accidentally picked up enhanced foods, my dogs
will not eat it unless rinsed well and then refrozen and thawed. They also
don't like freshly killed meat...don't know what's up with that!!?????

My 50# shephard mix was doing ok on chicken quarters last week. I had
to cut it up into chunks but she had no complaints eating. This week I
bought a whole turkey and she has turned up her nose since yesterday.
She will lick the pieces but is refusing to eat them. I did not think
there's that much of a difference between chicken and turkey flavor
IMO, then again I'm not the dog's tastebuds or nose. My husband is
ready to go back to k!bb!e if she won't eat the turkey.The chicken is
all gone and not allowed to go spend another penny unless she eats what
we already bought to feed her for the week.

You might check to see if she has any teeth problems, one of our Border Collies acted like that and we checked his mouth and found 2 teeth that were infected plus the vet found puss pockets in the back of his mouth. So try checking if his teeth are ok.

get hungrier, nose still turned up. Anything else I can do other than
starve her for another day?

Lots of error on my part this week ;( pig feet, chicken gizzards or
livers even in the minutest quantity) but I'll keep trying to sneak
it in there slowly but surely.
I rinsed and repacked the turkey in single serving amounts and
refroze yesterday for future use or for the cats if she continues to
refuse it.

I think I might try this this afternoon. She nuts about cooked turkey
so maybe she'll go for the warmed up version.

Terri,

Whatever you can get is great! I know that beef prices are often
ridiculous, but a score like yours is a wonderful thing! My dogs LOVE beef
tongue, but it's so hard to get for any reasonable price, that it's a rarity
in our freezer...

Congrats!

Hello all! (Don't delete without reading. Yes, there is a test later.)

Firstly, the raw feeding list was established in 1999. It has evolved under a couple of different names, but remains with primarily the same list moderation team.

This primary objective of the list is to provide a place where people who
feed raw food or who want to feed raw can discuss this and closely associated issues.

This is not a list to discuss which kibble or home cooking method is best.
There are other email lists that can provide you with that sort of forum.
The forum here is specifically to discuss appropriate raw diets.

*******A learning environment

We aim at all times to maintain a learning environment.
Every so often someone joins the list with a different agenda.
We work hard in the background to do everything we can to keep discussion on topic at all times, and those who don't find the environment comfortable (about 0.5%), we encourage to join other more suitable email lists.

The most important thing is you join a group you are comfortable with.
We acknowledge the vast differences that exist between people and their learning styles, and as you'll appreciate we can't make everyone happy.

Now for a few of the easy rules:

*******PLEASE TRIM YOUR POSTS

This means when you are replying to an email DO NOT include the ENTIRE EMAIL in your reply.

You can include a SMALL portion of the email you are replying to. Try to stick to a couple of relevant lines.

Delete all headers and footers.

List members who do not trim their posts will be placed on moderation.

**********PLEASE SIGN YOUR MAILS

This means when you are to sign your name at the bottom of every single mail you send to the list.

List members who continue to send unsigned posts after being warned risk having their mail deleted!!

**********CHANGE THE SUBJECT LINE WHEN THE SUBJECT CHANGES
This is a high volume list. Changing subject lines allows people to delete those messages that are topics they have no interest in. IF you change subject lines properly then when responding to a post of the same subject you should not have to include ANY of the email you are responding too since those reading the thread will be able to follow it anyway.

********NO MONSTER SIGNATURES PLEASE!
Several lines are ok but nothing over 4 lines please.
(and please don't advertise in your signatures either)

*********NEW MEMBERS ARE MODERATED.
You will not get OFF of moderate until you prove you can trim your posts and change your subject lines. ALSO the moderators do not have time to trim your posts for you so if a post comes through moderate that is not trimmed it will be sent back to you to trim before it is sent to the list.

If you are currently off of moderate but stop changing subject lines or trimming posts for some reason you will be put back on moderate.

Following these simple rules will make life easier for folks on digest
and save money for those folks who must PAY for their Internet by the amount of time they are on line.

Thanks so much.

This list is part of a group of lists run by the same moderation team. Since several of the lists are quite large we often encourage that threads be taken to some of the smaller subject specific lists so you may want to join the lists that cover issues you are interested in now.

The lists are:

And if you are stuck on a particular issue that you just can't seem to work out, try this list:

http://www.yahoogroups.com/group/rawissues

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BasicRaw/

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalFerrets/

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RawVet/
For vets, vet techs and vet students only

There is also a list of lists where other raw feeding lists can be found. Many are breed specific, location specific or subject specific.

My 2.5 year old dog has been eating raw for about 7 or 8 months. I
would probably say that only about 3 of those months were done
properly with good big pieces of food that he had to work on.(I
didn't know any better)

He got all of the big spots of calculus off except for the smaller
upper teeth in the back of his jaw. There is also some brown tartar
spots on one side of his mouth. He doesn't have any pain on that
side and no damage on any teeth. I think it is because one of his
upper teeth on that side grew in perpindicular to the way it was
suppose to and therefore some of the scissor action is gone. He also
has some tartar on his front teeth and canines. His breath and gums
are also MUCH better than before.

When do you give up and go to the vet and get a dental? I feel like
if they got cleaned that it could be maintained with the way he eats
now. I just don't want anything to get worse than it is.

Hi, Michael!
As long as you are providing large, engaging portions for your dog,
his dental progress will continue. When in doubt, go Bigger, and
Meatier! : )
Some dogs use one side of their jaws more than the other side. The
more infrequently used side will take longer to clean up.
You have to realize that some dogs have permanently stained teeth from
the calculus and tartar deposits. The calculus and tartar will
disappear, but nothing, not even a vet cleaning, can remove the stains.
IME & O, he don't need no stinkin' vet cleaning. ; )

Cool! He obviously doesn't have the best teeth, so you are probably
right about the permanent stains. Tennis balls took their toll on his
canines and may have affected others more than I thought. I'm
gradually trying to move to once a day, so the meals will only get
bigger.

Thanks for your help.

When supplementing with fish oils, is it okay to use "human grade"
fish oil? Rather than fish oil supplements that are labeled "animal
use only".

Of course. Just watch what kind of fish oil it is - don't want to be
supplementing with cod liver oil, just fish body oils.

Hi! I just wanted to introduce myself and my "little" ones. My name
is Kameron, and I am very new to the raw feeding thing...I have two
GSD - Bodo and Bart, a very elderly cat and a pair of genets (mammal-
wise, at least.) I just switched the two dogs to raw...so far, so
good. Right now they are both eating chicken backs, a little yogurt
in the morning, fish oil, and nupro joint supplement. I'm not sure
about supplementation yet - but will probably continue the fish oil,
and maybe switch from nupro (lots of volume of powder) to missing
link plus - mainly for the glucosamine, as both are sport dogs. I
also intend to add more muscle and organ meat this week but wanted
to start off simple. Bodo, my 3yr old, made the switch no problem.
No diarrhea or anything. Lucky me! Bart is my new puppy - only 9
weeks old - but his breeder fed a modified raw diet, so he was
already somewhat used to it. It is definitely impressive to hear his
little teeth crunch through those backs! Ultimately the genets will
also go raw, but not too sure if I will switch Bullet, my cat, as he
is 17 yrs old and doesn't have too many teeth left. Any advice in
that area?

One thing I have already run into is the training treat thing, but I
see there is a file on the subject. I haven't read it all the way
through - does it have detailed cooking instructions for the liver?
I'm not worried about Bodo, as he is a glutton and will eat
anything, but Bart's food drive (which was demonstrated at the
breeder) seems to have gone away with the switch to all-raw. I guess
nothing is as good as the real thing, huh!

Anyway...just thought I would introduce myself. I hope I get a lot
from this resource!

Hi Kameron,

Great job on getting those boys switched to raw!!! :)

Just wanted to make a quick comment about the supplements you mentioned. I
would recommend supplementing with only the specific ingredients required by
your dogs. If you need glucosamine, get a good glucosamine/chondroitin
product rather than one which includes everything but the kitchen sink, some
potentially harmful, most not beneficial and only serve to water down the
one or two ingredients you are needing. Both of those products have
absolutely horrible <g> ingredients and not enough glucosamine to make a bit
of difference.

For instance, Nupro contains far too much Vitamin D and various other
minerals including calcium....I definitely would not use this on a growing
puppy!

Actually there are many good sources of natural glucosamine in raw food so
you may not need to supplement at all.

Oh, and training treats, how to dry liver, etc. is discussed on Rawchat
frequently. Go on over there and do an archive search. Lots of great
info!!

Hi C & C

It looks like bits of bone and organ, but it sure smells! The turkey vultures that fly above

Hi, I just fed Jagger his supper. He ate 3 chicken thighs and 1
breast. He ate it with gusto and then went outside and threw it all
up. It didn't look like he chewed any of it. Now he is looking for
more to eat. Is this normal or am I doing something wrong. If he is
hungry should I feed him again?Kathy
