what's an rmb diet?
RMB = Raw Meaty Bones. Basically it's a diet that's as close to their natural diet as possible (before we started feeding them kibble in WWII). There's a ton of info out there on it, but it's super easy. Pick up meat at the store or butcher and feed to dog. Add some yogurt once a day for healthy bacteria, include some Omega 3 from salmon oil and a vitamin E to go with, and there you have it. Dog food. Over a week you should include about 10% bone content as dogs do crunch raw bones up quite well. NEVER cooked bones, which can shatter.

For example, last night I bought a whole fryer chicken. Trimmed it up into people pieces and fed the dog the back/neck/ribs/organs. That chicken trimming lasts two meals (she's 15lbs) and would have gone to waste otherwise.

If you're traveling, you can just pick up a tube of ground chuck and feed that, or a can of tuna. THrow in a raw egg in the shell once a week for the calcium content. People think it's complicated, but it's really not.
