>> It's not as hard as Sylvia makes it folks. Most of you on "Da List" know
>> we
>> have been feeding raw in one form or another for over 20 years. During
>> that
>> time, we have experimented with modified raw to BARF but settled with a
>> regimen that keeps our dogs in top condition yet is easy to maintain.
>>
>> Re the myriad of supplements that Sylvia uses, there is an easier way. I
>> won't mention what we use as we sell it, but there are several products
>> that
>> incorporate a sufficient quantity of nutritional supplements in one
>> product,
>> that you don't need to keep 25 separate bottles, etc. They should be
>> complete enough to replicate the contents of the preys gut as that is how
>> they help the animal get proper nutrition. Ours contains all human grade
>> nutrients that insures the highest quality whether a protein, vitamin,
>> mineral, trace mineral, or performance and nutrient enhancer.
>>
>> We don't do chicken backs as I don't feel there's enough meat unless you
>> feed a bunch of them. We do use chicken leg 1/4's with the rib attached.
>> Our
>> dogs eat a little less than 2 of those per day. We also mix in veal necks
>> from time to time, pork or sheeps kidney's, and beef heart. We primarily
>> use
>> human grade chicken tho and we pay anywhere from $.39 to $.69 a lb.
>>
>> Our veggies contain at least 1 form of greens (spinach, collards, etc.),
>> carrots, zuc's, broccoli, asparagus ends, or any other reasonable priced
>> veggie that at the local produce mart. I grind them up with garlic in a
>> food
>> processor, add some water, and then nuke them until they are 50% done.
>> That
>> emulates the partially digested flora in the prey's gut. I make up a good
>> size batch and after they cool, put them in 1/2 gallon containers that we
>> freeze. It's really easy.
>>
>> The other day my soon to be sister in law Tracy was over while I was
>> feeding
>> the dogs. She took a look at the bowl and said..."Is that all they get?"
>> The
>> get 1 rough chopped leg 1/4, 1 scoop of SuperFuel and 1 scoop of Show
>> Stopper (coat formula), 1 scoop of veggie mix, and water sufficient to
>> mix
>> it all together like a stew. They inhale it and there is never anything
>> left. The bones in the chicken also keep their teeth white and so clean
>> with
>> no tartar build up at all.
>>
>> Many of you have seen our dogs in competition and that is the exact
>> regimen
>> we feed them. Their stools are a boon, too. Tiny in comparison to a
>> kibble
>> stool and the flys don't even like them. That's because they've leached
>> virtually all of the nutrients out of them.
>>
>> It's really easy to feed this diet. The dogs look and feel great, have
>> good
>> muscle tone, and stamina to last them for any task...ring or sheep.
