Great to hear, Dyna Mo!
For raw chicken bone worries: the bigger the piece, the better. Try giving your pooch an entire fryer chicken to gnaw on. Watch closely how he handles it. It should stop him from gulping too fast. If he really is a gulper, you can still give him bones, just invest in a good cleaver to chop them into 1" long sections of leg or wing. They'll digest fine, you just want to avoid something getting caught in the throat.
organ meat: should make up about 10% of the weekly diet by weight. You can get this super cheap. Remember heart is a muscle, not an organ! Organ is kidney, liver, that kind of thing. Too much organ in one meal CAN give poochy the runs, as it's very rich.
Supplements: I give 1 1000mg capsule a day of salmon oil for omega 3's. Because of this, she gets 2 small vitamin e capsules a day (one at each meal). THe vitamin e helps digest the omega 3s and boosts the immune system. Your dog will be SUPER shiny
Veggies: the jury is still out. Some people insist, some people say they're not needed. I throw in some leftover veg when there's some in the fridge, but I don't stress it. Carrots and bananas are great as training treats!
greek-style yogurt: 1 spoon at every breakfast is my rule of thumb.
eggs: 1 raw egg once a week or so. If she's outside, she gets it in the shell. If she needs the calcium (due to not enough bone in the diet) then she'll eat the shell, too.
NO: ONIONS, GRAPES, RAISINS.
be careful when feeding raw fish: tuna and whitefish are fine. Salmon carry parasites and the fish MUST be frozen before feeding raw to the dog.
Freezer burnt meat? No longer a waste! You have your own garbage disposal looking at you longingly right now.
