I know how people feel about them (wolves eat raw food, why shouldn;t my dog), but you have to understand the times we're living in right now. Dogs adapt/evolve very quickly, and their diets follow suit. Nowadays, there are very few dogs/breeds who can survive (healthy) and a raw foods or BARF diet. If you want to feed our dog an all natural diet, there are two excellent brands out their for you to try: Dick Van Patten's dog food (all natural, real meat, no fillers AT ALL. My firend feeds her dog this and she is a great looking dog) Natural Choice dog food (this is what I feed my dog. it too is all natural with real meat and no fillers. it is also less expencive than DVP's food).

We feed our Rotties a mix of commercial raw, raw meat parts and oils like salmon oil. I would recommend a well balanced raw brand like Natural Balance, Nature's Variety or Prairie. They all have raw meat as well as veggies, vitamins and minerals. We also alternate with chicken thighs, turkey and duck necks and lamb pieces. Dogs can have bird bones as long as they are raw or pressure cooked. Raw is an excellent diet, especially for large breeds.

The most important part of their diet is protein. Sounds like your dog is getting all of the benefits from the home made food. I cannot even say the word "chicken" without my dog freaking! Not sure about the "good-oils" part. You might want to check with vet on that part:) I feed the same to my yorkie. The most important part of their diet is protein.

It's a yahoogroups list. It is a list for raw only, raw + kibble and kibble only. All are expected to be tolerant of all styles of feeding. The best list I have ever found is the K9 Nutrition list.
