I feed my dog raw meat and raw bones (aka the BARF diet) and I want to get as much variety as possible so I’m wondering, for those of you who also feed raw, what do you give your dog?
My dogs meals usually consist of chicken, beef, turkey, and canned fish for meats. Romaine lettuce, carrots, yams, celery, and broccoli for veggies. Yogurt, banana’s, apples, berries, and avocado’s for fruit. I also feed eggs a few times a week. Any other suggestions or recipes?

Dogs don’t eat the contents of prey animals stomachs, that’s false. They tear the stomach open and spill the contents and eat the stomach itself. Chicken, beef, fish, and turkey is fine variety…you may find goat is cheap in your area if it’s available, also wild game, deer, elk, moose, prong horn, rabbit. 80% meat, 10% bone, 10% organ meat half of which being liver.
My dogs love Zucchini, Parsley, Spinach, Tomatoes, Strawberries,Red & Gold Potatoes. I also give them fresh greens like, Collard, Mustard & Turnip.Oh yeah, and they LOVE Beets, I give them raw veggies and fruit, but I cook their meat, I just don’t know that much about the raw and I don’t know where to start.
Just mix the stuff up for variety but it sounds like a well balanced diet.

i feed my dog all of this wholesome stuff too, but i lightly cook it to release the minerals in the food. and my dog swallows things whole so this is easier on her stomach. lol. i wouldn’t feed so many cruciferous veggies because too much fiber really messes up a dog’s stomach. good veggies can be like green beans, squash, etc. also too much fruit makes a dog’s poop really runny. i might not be an expert, but i do know it’s a good idea to limit the fruit intake. i do agree with you that fruits and veggies are good to add to a dog’s diet. they are so wholesome and full of good vitamins. eggs are good, and so is cottage cheese, potatoes, oats.
oh and dogs are scavengers in the wild, so they do eat things like veggies and potatoes and things

my dogs like cow foot as a yummy snack
also the RMB if better then barf
it goes of the fact that dogs are carnivores and does not require you to feed veggies
myth lol they spill the content of there prey and the n eat the stomach wall…. all fruits and veggies do is slow down there digestive systems
but its not my choice good luck and hope the diet works for you
the only reason that a dog would eat veggies is for upset stomachs they only eat potato and other veggies because they cant find(scavenge) or catch anything else thats the only way
as you said some times not every day
some times= rarely
