Setting Up To Portion It All Out!

Things you will need to get ready before cutting up your meats and getting them ready for the freezer.
Also there are a few great places if you have limited access to source from. I will post links to the 2 that I am using.

Rupert's Raw Feeding This Month-January 2017

Rupert is now 6 mos old and moving from grinds to raw pieces and parts. After sourcing from a few places we are ready to portion out his foods and get them ready for a month worth of feeding.

He is currently eating 32oz. of Raw Food per day. This is his breakdown
Meat 80%=25.6 oz.
Bone 10%= 3.2 oz.
Liver 5%= 1.6 oz
Organ 5%= 1.6 oz.

Bones this month will breakdown as follows:
Chicken Backs 44% Bone
Duck Necks 50% Bone
Turkey Necks 42% Bone
Duck Frames 75% Bone
Turkey Backs w/skin 41% Bone

Meats this month are:
Port Chops-Pork Cushion-Boneless Turkey Thighs-Bottom Round Roast-Beef Heart-Beef Lung-Ground Beef-Trachea-Beef Cheeks-Green Trip Chunks

Organs are a mix of:
Liver-Turkey Hearts-Pancreas-Beef Kidney

I weigh each bone and figure out the % of Meat and Bone, then take the meat content and add to his meaty pieces to give me his 25.6 oz of meat. Also if one is a little more that is fine. With Adult dogs you can balance over a few days, with a puppy you just need to be close. Also adjust bone amounts according to your dog's stool.

Pest and natural ways to deal with them

Warmer Weather Safety

The Healthy Bark

With a lot of us starting to see warmer temperatures, this is a reminder to keep your pets and your self well hydrated. Animals cannot cool their bodies like we can. They do not sweat, that is why you see them pant, it is how they cool their self. As they become more over heated they pant harder, which than raises their heart rate. This is how pets can have a heat stroke much faster than we can.

Dental Health

Every February we see the same advertisements for how important it is to have your pets teeth cleaned. Have you ever truly wondered why pets must have dental care?
