For breakfast, Bruiser had chicken hearts, gizzards, and an egg. (He didn’t eat the shell this time, so I threw it out).
What should be for dinner?
I was thinking chopped carrots and a knuckle bone….
Anything else?
I’m not exactly an expert at raw feeding, and he is usually on Nutro Naturals, but I would like to switch him over, and need some help.

He should only have heart/liver or kidney about once a week, but will need substantially more meat than mentioned above.
As for the eggs, get yourself a pestle & mortar, and just grind the shells down over a few days and they will end up dry and like a grainy powder and easy to add to the food.
My rotties get approx 1 1/2 lb of meat a day either in the form of minced up lamb, rabbit, chicken, tripe,fish, beef etc or wings, trotters, ribs etc. ALL RAW – NOT COOKED.
Go onto all the natural raw sites and check out the quantity. Some say approx. 3% of their bodyweight per day. My dogs don’t get quite that amount but would be too fat on it if they did.
Best of luck with it and do ask. Can send you stuff to read if you wish.
Depending on your dog’s size, the knuckle bone may or may not contain enough meat.
I tend not to feed veggies as I follow a basic prey model diet. Any veggies I feed are generally either scraps or leftovers from my meals. I’ve also found that, for the most part, raw carrots seem to come out of the dog in about the same condition they went in.
Meats = Boiled or baked chicken no bone
salmon, liver, limb all baked or boiled.
veggies = carrots, peas, broccoli, green beans
You can add brown rice to any mill
