So far our dogs have had chicken,duck,rabbit,beef, and goose. No pork. If I can catch Mr. Groundhog this year.they'll have that.

Ok... what about vitamins & minerals? Do you guys supplement with anything?

That's where you use raw veggies,yogurt,eggs, molasses. We buy a lot of leafy greens{kale,romaine,broccoli,spinach,....) carrots,celery,etc..pretty much everything but onions. We have an industrial food processor and make a veggie glop. We have to make some tomorrow. I'll snap some pics. Tell you what-I'll snap pics of tomorrow's dinner.

I really wish it was as easy to get cats on a raw diet as it is for dogs. We tried once and one cat wouldn't touch. The other ate it just fine. Then we cleaned up exorcist-like vomit out of the carpet 10 minutes later.

BTW-Wife bought meat and veggies-enough for almost 2 months for 3 20 lb dogs and spent $50. She uses coupons and watches the weekly sale paper but you get the idea. Remember-you are buying the stuff most people don't buy. Chicken backs and necks,liver,gizzards,hearts etc...

Yes, their stomachs have to adjust to real food. My dogs all threw up when I switched them too. Very normal.

Put please don't waste good food on cats....cause cats suck.

WOW Vator... that looks awesome.

Uma & I doing more research tonight....

Don't listen to the vets.
Don't feed them pork.
Don't cook anything but maybe vegs.
Cold turkey switching is best
no vegs for first few weeks, just meat.
slightly browned hamburger is good to help switch
I can buy used fridge/freezers locally on craiglists all day long.

Oh and according to the math of 3% of the dogs body weight (150#) he needs about 4lbs of food a day!!!!!!!!

Really?!?!?

Here they are. As you can see, Leafy veggies, carrots, ginger root, garlic,berries eggs,yogurt.vinegar and molasses. Damn dogs eat healthier than us humans.

Monster food processor. We burned up our Harry Homeowner model doing this shit. Basically 3 eggs, yogurt, and molasses per run. We did 4 runs.

Never said it looked good.

DAMN-it looks like a hideous experiment. Now you see why we call it glop.But the dogs love it.

Ready for freezing. About 2 months worth. Total cost- $20

Tonight's dinner. Beef ribs,chicken hearts and livers, and glop.

The glop looks good, I will have to make some glop for Puggy. Do you leave one glop container in the fridge and just dole it out?
