What's for our meal today???

Shelby is fed a homemade RAW diet(prey model)

as of 4/5/08

RMB's == Raw Meaty Bones
and DO NOT drink tap water only purified water like rest of the family including the cats(we do the refills at Wal-mart).

Prey model -- 80 * 10 * 10
The "Prey model" diet attempts to simulate the proportions of an actual prey animal in a pet's diet. This includes organ meat, heads, skin, muscle, bone, blood and even small amounts of fur, feathers or scales, mimicking the amounts that would be consumed when eating small prey. Generally, the diet recommends 80% meat (including some 'meaty' organs such as heart), 10% bone and 10% organs (of which half is liver). Proponents of the whole prey model diet believe dogs and cats are carnivores and therefore there is no nutritional or dietary need for anything other than meat, bones, and organs. The supporters of the prey model also focus on feeding meats from a wide variety of animals for best nutrition.
Supplements are generally not used in a prey model diet although some followers do add fish oil to the diet to compensate for the reduced amount of omega-3 fatty acid in commercially raised grain-fed livestock.

I get the RAW for Shelby - at a couple butcher shops and an oriental market.
After driving around to the shops around here and asking people I settled on a couple that I liked their selections & they also can order items in for me if not on hand.
They are where I get their ground meat... turkey, beef, buffalo, venison, elk, pork & their RMB's
Bone-In Goat Cubes, turkey necks/drumsticks, chicken parts(thighs, wings, legs & feet), whole chickens(cut to order), pork ribs, beef neck pieces, pork hocks & organs(chicken -- gizzards & livers AND beef -- liver, thymus"sweet breads" & kidneys).
:)
Shelby & Joey our Jack Russell Terriers *DO NOT* get the same RMB's as Griz our senior Belgian Sheepdog does.

THE FOLLOWING MENU WORKS *WELL* FOR "MY 3" canine kids -- they are healthy, strong & happy ==> they are thriving
My 3 get PRIMARILY RMB's w/ 2 days(M & F) of ground meat/organ w/ their "health mix". (sometimes including finely minced celery).

Shelby does enjoy getting some reg. vanilla yogurt, apple slices and some orange.
