Do I have to feed bones on a raw diet?
relish asked:
I’m starting to feed my dog a raw diet. But she refuses to eat chicken or bones! Is there a supplement I can give instead that gives the same nutrients as bones?

Well calcium and phospherous but yes you do have too.
Go get some raw chicken necks and give them to her, I am sure she will start to eat them soon, it’s also for their teeth as well as nutrients.
Alternatively you can get some chicken frames and that will teach her to chew.
Good luck with it, and please NO thighs or wings, way too fatty, stick with necks and frames when you’re starting out! ƄŔěƝđŎŊ îş ŇōƮ ďēăĐ‼

DON’T EVER FEED YOUR DOG BONES. they can splinter and get stuck in her digestive track. bones really don’t have anything in them that a dog needs. and try chicken liver, i’ve never seen a dog turn that down. and please make sure you cook the chicken, they can get sick just like we can. pit lover

I agree with Brendon the Not-Dead. Start with chicken necks and backs. Also, add some plain yogurt of help to get the digestion.
Your dog might poop out a few bones for a few days until she starts producing enough digestive enzymes going. Not a problem. As with everything related to dogs, be patient and she will “get it”.
And yes, bones are important. aa8qn

They make grinds that include the bones (all ground up). Pam
