Im sure you are doing great. Balance comes over time not daily. I was doing a veggie slop but 1 was not digesting it well. Then I turned to Sojo's veggie blend, but the same thing. So we just stopped the veggies.  I do 16-18oz. of course ground chicken/bone divided into 2 feeds. Every day they get 2TBS. of organ meat to the am feed. Beef liver/kidney or chicken livers. I just bought a bunch one day and choped it all up and freeze in 8oz. containers. They get beef maybe every other week. whatever is cheap and on sale. 1 rib or marrow bone on Sundays.They are also getting some supplements (sea meal, omega 3 ) daily.

we do not feed any veggies. She gets a total of 13 oz a day, divided into 2 meals (she is 41 pounds)

This am she got:

around an oz of chicken liver

around 3 oz chopped up chicken, probably quarters but I can't be sure of that, hubby handles it (this is how she gets her bone)

3 oz beef -again I have no idea what cut of beef, I just found it in the fridge all nicely cut into Audrey sized pieces.

It was a bit over the 6.5 oz she  needs, but I rarely worry about getting it precise. She also got a squirt of fish oil, and her HeartWorm Free

Tonight she will get about 2 oz chicken and 4 oz beef, and a squirt of fish oil, and her HeartWorm Free

Yes the veggies have to be smashed in order for a dog to get any nutrition out of them. I don't bother with them, Audrey either throws them up, or they make her face itch.

I've been feeding our dog raw since around 10 weeks of age (she is now 2).  I've come to the following menu through trial and error and experience on what works for us.

I get 20lb boxes of whole chicken backs from the butcher - fed whole as is (she gets two of these per day)

I also make the following "patties" which I use to supplement the chicken.  This way she gets two sources of meat protien and all of her other vitamins etc.

Patties: ground beef (hamburger, chuck steak, etc. whatever is cheap and readily available)

I then blend using my blender whole eggs, veggies (whatever I have on hand) fruits, leafy greens, olive oil, omega 3 oils, apple cidar vinegar, melatonin.  I mush that in with the ground meat and make hamburger sized patties and freeze.

Treats - on occasion she will get raw ham bones, meaty beef bones, turkey necks, fish heads or whole fish, elk bones, pigs feet and the list goes on.

Her main diet doesn't change.  I've never had issues with, skin, eyes, hair, poop, yeast infections, tail pocket issues, etc. etc. etc.  Maybe I'm lucky??  I feel for the people who have health issues with thier bulldogs.  I'm certainly not saying that raw is the reason we have no issues, again - I think I'm lucky. 

Hope that helps.

right? So if Bean is 45lbs that would 9oz of meat per day? I have only been giving them around 4-4.5oz 2xday...I might need to up that?

Tonight her chicken leg was 4oz so I just gave it to her whole..she crunched a few times and down it went!!!

I also went to the meat locker (processor) today and got the chicken leg quarters for .60lbs. they are so nice and big, my hubby said they are eating better than we are..haha

I think this meat man will become a good friend with all my stops and questions-seems very helpfull
